Update on 2004 Voting Fraud Cases. Hear from Sherole Eaton, election official in 2004 in Hocking County Ohio, she blew the whistle on a Triad employee who dismantled a voting machine before the recount; also New Mexico citizens who's electronic votes disappeared before their eyes and who are still sueing to get their votes to count.

Voting Fraud = No Democracy. Here's what's up with last election's most controversial lawsuits. Native people and hispanics whose votes did not count; democratic counties that mysteriously went republican; and voting machine employees blatantly manipulating computers before election results were tabulated. This should shock you, and cause you to call your local election officials to demand a verifiable voting process in your town.
