Black Box Election Steal Dennis Bernstein talks with Bev Harris from Black Box Voting with Diebold persons meeting regularly now with George W. Bush. in the Crawford Family Compound. The strange case of the 57 voting machines which appear to have automatically phoned home to Diebold in the middle of an actual state primary election in San Luis Obispo County, in California in 2002. Ms. Harris feels that people who contribute heavily to George W. Bush should not have unquestioned autonomy and unfettered access (without oversight) to the elections process including voter registration and tabulation. For an earlier story by Flashpoints on this subject click here... This story just won't go away! More information regarding efforts to understand the deeper underlying issues such as, "Just because they gave me a printed receipt how does that in any way reflect certainty that my electronic vote inside the voting machine was recorded for my choice, or tabulated correctly for my candidate, or transmitted correctly for my candidate to the central computer, or purloined at any number of locations along the way and altered?". How do 8 million people who have their receipts and suspect vote count fraud come together for a recount??? How do you organize that in the face of a victorious loser pushing hard to bulldoze the concerns of the voters? Sound familiar? To begin to sort out these bigger questions contact

The Block Report: Police Violence in Hunter's Point and Communities of Color Host JR, along with Misha Irazarri. More bloody violence at Kiska and Reardon in the San Francisco Hunter's Point Bayview neighborhood. New stepped-up police presence is bringing more attention to the drive-by shootings, cab driver robberies, and drug killings. Residents claim that police presence is emboldening officers to set innocent residents up by planting weapons and drugs on innocent bystanders and being overly violent when they apprehend suspects. Flashpoints looks into these claims.
