New BRAD BLOG Animated Video: ‘Vote on Paper’

Share article:

A video of a computer animated “debate” between a Tea Partier and a non-Tea Partier, which has gone insanely viral over the last few days, inspired me to try creating one of my own.

Here my first quick effort. Hope you’ll enjoy it and will help spread the word, because while computer generated animations are great, computer generated, unverifiable e-voting ain’t. Vote on a paper ballot this year (not on a touch-screen system with or without a so-called “paper trail”), if you can. Here’s why…


YouTube Link: this.select();” onChange=”javascript:this.value=’http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thh6EG1aD7Q” />
YouTube Embed: http://www.youtube.com/v/thh6EG1aD7Q?fs=1&hl=en_US&quot;></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/thh6EG1aD7Q?fs=1&hl=en_US&quot; type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>” onClick=”javascript:this.select();” onChange=”javascript:this.value='<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/thh6EG1aD7Q?fs=1&hl=en_US&quot;></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/thh6EG1aD7Q?fs=1&hl=en_US&quot; type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>”/>

P.S. I’ve been asked how voters can make the decision to vote on paper ballots this late in the game. Many states and counties which offer touch-screen systems on Election Day also allow the voter to request a paper ballot at the polls. Others offer voters a choice when voting between “paper or plastic” (touch-screen or paper ballot). For example, in CA, every voter has the right to vote on a paper ballot, even as some jurisdictions tend to simply point voters towards the touch-screens. Check with your state and/or county before voting to find out your rights and if you’re allowed to vote on paper on Election Day! The unverifiable vote you cast may otherwise be your own!

    Accuse the ennemy of what one is guilty 😉
    Unless the 80% of the vote done on machines in the USA is but a clever way to get the result our supposed elite, masters & plutocracy wants… Whatever them pesky voters have decided ! Only then can ‘The Best Democracy Money Can Buy’ chug along ! Just a hint… Before one exports democracy, one tries to have it at home !

    Like it or not, 100% unverifiable voting systems will be used to determine the results of some of the nation’s closest, most-watched races next Tuesday… http://www.slate.com/id/2272627/pagenum/all/

    Only tangentially related, but I am seeing references to Hot Karl getting served a subpeona last weekend over the King Lincoln Bronzeville Neighborhood Association v. Blackwell thing. E.G.:

    http://pay2play.tv/2010/10/31/k...ou-got-served/

    It would be nice to see this go somewhere. But of course, Karl has already set the precedent of being above responding to subpoenas. In fact, he let this one drop to the sidewalk as it was being handed to him, but I heard that it still qualifies as being served.

    Shared on my FB, Thank You.
    What I really wish for though is if you, or VR had a nifty neat banner we could download and use at the polls.
    I live directly across the street from my polling place and spend some time over there with a little white poster board sign I made with a sharpie that says “Please Vote by Paper Ballot and leave here knowing there is a paper trail” But a slogan I could download would be killer…
