beSpacific archives a BuzzFlash interview with Bev Harris, circa September 2003. Harris is author of Black Box Voting: Ballot-Tampering in the 21st Century. BuzzFlash asks Harris about her research that suggests that e-Voting "may be the Trojan Horse of voting machine reform, allowing elections to be stolen more easily than in the past." They ask why she argues that electronic voting machines "pose a threat to democracy."
She also explains how the DMCA was used by an e-voting software company (Diebold) to shut down her entire website because it linked to a site that had a link to an unrelated site that offered copies of documents on which the software company claimed copyright. According to Harris, the documents (leaked by someone) showed a pattern of misconduct by the software company, including actions potentially affecting the last Presidential vote tally in Florida.
Bev Harris' other books include a book of tips on identifying accounting fraud and recovering embezzled funds, called "How to Embezzle a Fortune." Harris' current book can be purchased or downloaded through BlackBoxVoting.org or through this beSpacific link.
