The Electronic Stealing of the 2004 U.s. Presidential Election: Democracy Hijacked Again Dr. Garvin Karunaratne Ph.d

The book details how the administration failed in ensuring that the election process was held in a fair manner. It particularly illustrates how the electronic voting machines malfunctioned adding millions of votes for George Bush. As there was no paper trail in key States like Ohio and Florida the results declared by the voting machines had to be accepted. The electronic voting machines were not properly certified; the manufacturers themselves were placed in charge of certification! It is found that key Election Officials had been partisan. The manufacturers of voting machines have been found to have supported the Republicans, who won. The book is replete, specifying remedial measures that have to be adopted to ensure fair elections, to assure that no election is stolen ever again. Written by an election administrator, an international consultant, the Author of The Administrative Bungling that Hijacked the 2000 US Presidential Election(The University Press of America, 2004.)
