  • Exit Polls and Voter Fraud: A User-Friendly Explanation
    18 November 2004 par (Open-Publishing)

    Electronic voting machines were supposed to save us from the nightmare of hanging chads. The day after the election, a lot of Americans learned for the first time that most of these machines are owned by private companies who refuse to divulge exactly how they work; that computer security experts have been highly critical of them; that they’ve already experienced serious failures, and that many of them leave no paper trail for backup.(1) Since then, online forums have been jammed with claims (…)

  • Major bugs found in Diebold vote systems
    14 November 2004 par (Open-Publishing)

    The voting machine controversy likely will linger after a look at the systems source code software from Ohio-based Diebold yielded reports of numerous bugs.
    Diebold was one of three companies — including Election Systems & Software and Sequoia — that provided updated technology for the 2004 election.
    Computer Science Professor Avi Rubin of John Hopkins University analyzed Diebold’s 47,609 lines of code and found it uses an encryption key that was hacked in 1997 and no longer is used (…)

    An anonymous reader writes "German PC-Welt magazine reports that Microsoft used an illegal copy of SoundForge 4.5 (Google translation) for editing Wave files shipped with Windows Media Player.
    You can check that yourself by opening any file in the [Windows location] \Help\Tours\WindowsMediaPlayer\Audio\Wav\ folder in notepad or other editors of your choice and looking at the last line.

  • Machine Error Gives Bush Extra Ohio Votes
    9 November 2004 par (Open-Publishing)

    By JOHN McCARTHY
    Associated Press Writer
    COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - An error with an electronic voting system gave President Bush 3,893 extra votes in suburban Columbus, elections officials said.
    Franklin County’s unofficial results had Bush receiving 4,258 votes to Democrat John Kerry’s 260 votes in a precinct in Gahanna. Records show only 638 voters cast ballots in that precinct. Bush’s total should have been recorded as 365.
    Bush won the state by more than 136,000 votes, according to (…)

  • Growing Collection of Vote Fraud links: ATTN Global Media

    The list of evidence is growing that the US election was anything but a fair vote. Who could possibly think that all of these voting problems are just a minor aberation? The long lines are always in Democratic counties, that the computer ’glitches’ always favor Bush, and the new e-machines were made by a Bush ’Pioneer’ (top donor) that pledged to deliver for Bush. Funny how Diebold makes bank machines which print paper receipts millions of times daily, but they couldn’t get the printer to (…)

    Voters from at least half a dozen states reported that touch-screen voting machines had incorrectly recorded their choices, including for president.
    Voters discovered the problems when checking the review screen at the end of the voting process. They found, to their surprise, that the machines indicated that they voted for one candidate when they had voted for another. When voters tried to correct the problem, the machine often made the same error several times. While in most cases the (…)

    New Info proves that Central Tabulating Computers have modems connected and are open to manipulation. ie- all this stuff about vote challengers is just a diversion, because one person can change the state total from their home computer. Take the day off of work to help save our country.
    Yeah sure conspiracy nuts- they can’t steal it- wrong. We now have evidence that certainly looks like altering a computerized voting system during a real election, and it happened just six weeks ago. (…)

  • A Country on the Verge of an Electoral Meltdown

    Voting machines have already begun to break down, accusations of systematic voter suppression and fraud are rampant, and thousands of lawyers have flocked to court to cry foul in half a dozen states.
    No need to wonder if this year’s U.S. presidential election is headed for another meltdown: the meltdown has already started. The voting machines have already begun to break down, accusations of systematic voter suppression and fraud are rampant, and lawyers fully armed and (…)
