  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Aaronfor's original post is dead, he is AWOL, the full version from google video is MIA, and this needs to be here, working, at all times. After part 3, you must go to you tube to view the rest. Below, aronfor's original summary:
from hbo.com:

"Electronic voting machines count about 87% of the votes cast in America today. But are they reliable? Are they safe from tampering? From a current congressional hearing to persistent media reports that suggest misuse of data and even outright fraud, concerns over the integrity of electronic voting are growing by the day. And if the voting process is not secure, neither is America's democracy. The timely, cautionary documentary HACKING DEMOCRACY exposes gaping holes in the security of America's electronic voting system."

Excellent post on a most serious issue. It's clear that an independent organization needs to be formed by the people of the United States that would have full jurisdiction to review the code on these types of systems before their use, during their use and after their use.

I feel like making my city council watch this (my city is also the county seat).

I think this is a dupe:

I remember 'cause I fixed the embed code on it.

choggie, are you serious? you knew it was a dupe and posted it anyway?? wtf? You yourself called chided looris for doing the same damn thing! (though, I'll grant you did not seem able to make up your mind on the issue - yeah a dupe, ... nice try looris ... dupe ... but so what ...
