Still plowing through tons of incoming problem reports from yesterday in trying to help separate wheat from chaff before I bore you with any chaff here, and looking at a number of still-uncalled elections. (If you’d like to poke around at a few such issues, please see Joyce McCloy’s Voting News today). All the while I’ve been trying to keep up with various scheduled media appearances and wrapping up other odds and ends from yesterday. Here’s one of those odds and ends. My appearance on Thom Hartmann’s new TV Show, “The Big Picture with Thom Hartmann“, via (not-very-good) Skype webcam yesterday.
The 5-minute interview we did yesterday afternoon begins at around the :38 minute mark…
Our buddy Greg Palast is also interviewed a bit earlier in the show, on issues of Voter Caging, beginning just after the :31 minute mark. Hartmann’s TV show now airs on RT America weeknight’s at 9p & 11p ET. Here’s their Youtube page…
And a few other appearances I’ve done over the last 24 hours, at least the few I was able to get copies of, which you may find entertaining and/or informative (hopefully both!):
• From yesterday’s WBAI News with Rebecca Myles in NY (where I appeared the day before as well to discuss Citizens United). This appearance discusses concerns about touch-screen e-voting systems in yesterday’s elections…

• A very lively and combative “hour” of post-election decompression, wise-cracks, rants and related matters during my regular weekly appearance with Harrison earlier today on KPFK/Pacifica…

:o( Am I the only on having audio trouble with the video?
Hi Brad,
I thought you might have an interest in this TED.com presentation on a verifiable and secret electronic voting system: http://tinyurl.com/27258dg
Of course I’ve read Brad Blog long enough to be a skeptic about e-voting, but still I found this approach to be novel and interesting.
All the best, Ray

Just got this from a friend. Don’t understand it completely, like how anyone could verify that the voting was accurate but I thought I’d throw it in for comsumption and comment.

Hi friends
Trouble is, any such system can be gamed by insiders…
Only way to go is Brad’s ‘gold standard’

Whoops! Sorry for the redundancy. Embarrassing.
Fusion@4,
I completely agree with you. The fly-in-the-ointment for David Bismark’s system is the fact that rectangle containing the encrpytion data is still a black box not subject to open independent supervision.
