Pima County Fatally Flawed Diebold Election: The Problems are Inside. The Solutions are Outside.
After discovering evidence of election fraud in Pima County, Arizona, the Democratic Party had to sue the election facilitators of that county to examine critical public election data. The lawsuit resulted in the largest release of election data in U.S. history. The makers of "Fatally Flawed" share this entertaining story with others and encourage the rest of the nation to explore similar paths taken by these concerned citizens. This film is dedicated to those who share the ultimate goal of an improved level of election transparency. Entrenched regional election facilitators will resort to a number of different techniques to affect election outcomes and to prevent election transparency. In the case for Pima County, the argument against public release of database records was that it was a threat to "election security". The concern is that people will take the database records, change the results and claim a different outcome. As their "election security" argument wears thin, they will state there is proprietary program content where there isn't. They will confuse computer documents with computer applications, have election facilitators plead the Fifth Amendment to avoid testifying in court, incur exorbitant taxpayer expenses to devise measures for resisting public disclosure, and obstruct the democratic process at every turn. Challenging the entrenched corruption seems daunting, but with a unique combination of individuals with the right skills, it becomes possible to broach the forest of technical information, jargon and sleight-of-hand to reveal the truth. This story is about how the right team was able to pull back the curtain on election fraud in Pima County.
