Black Box Voting: Ballot Tampering in the 21st Century We know that some of those who are most at risk of being disenfranchised may not be able to afford a book. Because this issue requires all of America, not just those with credit cards, to take action, and because we designed this book as an activism tool, my publisher (David Allen of Plan Nine Publishing) and I decided that we will make the book available to everyone for free, in electronic version, beginning Wednesday Oct. 1. There will also be a trade paperback version. Vote-counting should be open. Programs used to count votes should be open source. The investigation which led to this book was also "open source," in that hundreds participated, all over the world. Therefore we feel it is especially appropriate to provide this book "open source." Not only that, but we encourage web sites all over the world to provide the PDF chapters for their visitors to download. David Allen has a brief "open source license" that goes with the book, which includes very simple restrictions, like not allowing people to change the book, and not allowing people to sell it for money. More is explained on http://www.blackboxvoting.com. Also, you can find a concise synopsis of the problem at http://www.buzzflash.com/interviews/03/09/29_harris.html I thank you all for your wonderful dedication to this project, for your ideas, constructive criticism, and research.
