Watchdog group requests Volusia vote tallies

[sherilocks]

DELAND -- An activist group investigating possible irregularities in the Nov. 2 election requested copies of all Volusia County voter tallies Wednesday.
It took county elections employees most of the day to complete the job, started at the request of Bev Harris of Black Box Voting.
The watchdog organization, based in Seattle, is gathering similar records from at least three other counties around Florida -- information that may lead to an election challenge, Harris said.
Harris also wants to examine each ballot from up to 50 precincts in Volusia County, to see whether election totals match voter tallies on polling place tapes.

1. Funny that's not what she said BEFORE

"Lowe confirmed Wednesday some backup copies of tapes from the Nov. 2 election were destined for the shredder. She added that originals were still available for Harris, or anyone else, to see. It is those polling place tapes that were copied and provided Wednesday to Black Box Voting for about $125.

'She's not wanting to listen to an explanation. She has her own ideas," Lowe said of Harris.

Lowe said to provide a backup voting record, she routinely asks poll workers to print two polling place tapes on election night. One tape is delivered in one car along with the ballots and a memory card. The backup tape is delivered to the elections office in a second car. Poll workers sign both copies of the tapes, Lowe said."

Smells mighty fishy to me...

2. Which fails to explain how the tally differs from the FOIA tapes.
