For four years, the Arizona Transparency team has been doing groundbreaking investigations of computerized elections in Arizona, achieving results with nationwide significance.
They detected a sophisticated insider hack of the 2004 presidential election, designed to falsify the optical scan count and evade detection in any subsequent manual audit.
In 2006, they uncovered insider rigging in a $2 billion bond measure election, and in an ensuing court case achieved the largest court-ordered release of electronic voting database records in U.S. history.
With a team of computer scientists they are developing a suite of forensic software tools to analyze election database files for tell-tale signs of vote-rigging fraud.
They've built a coalition of election integrity activists that deployed 300 volunteer election monitors in the 2008 elections in Pima and Mariposa counties.
Now they are working for state adoption of a protocol they developed to audit election results by scanning graphic images of all ballots cast in 10% of the precincts on election night. The ballot images will stand as a public check against election results that emerge from proprietary, corporate voting machines.
Throughout it all, they've been recording their investigations on video, preparing a feature documentary, "Fatally Flawed," that tells their story of high-tech detective work and savvy grassroots organizing to bring elections back into the light of public transparency.
They've done all this on less than $5000 funding, working unpaid month after month, pulling back the proprietary voting machine curtain to bring elections into the light.
Won't you help them with a donation amount you can afford, so that they can continue doing this great work for all of us?

I compiled a concise history of their operations up through December 2007 here:

But that's nothing compared to what they've done since ...or what they are fixing to do next! Please join me in supporting the Arizona Transparency Project.
