Here's a true story about a 52 year old grandmother who found 40,000 secret voting machine files on the web in addition to instructions on how to replace the actual files in the voting machines right before the Georgia senatorial election. Called the 'Erin Brochovich of Elections,' Bev Harris uncovered some amazing facts of flawed certification systems, hidden back doors and more.

Black Box Voting (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&tag=thedigitalcon-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&path=tg%2Fdetail%2F-%2F1890916900%2Fqid%3D1135052823%2Fsr%3D8-2%2Fref%3Dsr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14%3Fv%3Dglance%2526s%3Dbooks%2526n%3D507846)

BTW - The Georgia voting mishap led to stunning upset that tipped the control of the US Senate.

Check it out,
