...What Vote Fraud?
Thursday 25th November 2004

We saw Ukrainian presidential election coverage on CNN last night. It was surreal They were saying that in the Ukraine elections aren’t transparent. ’Scuse me?

This, after CNN said they weren’t interested in filming 59 orange-tagged records from Volusia, Florida showing that our elections have not been at all transparent, and are missing one-third of the key documents entirely. Psst. Don’t look here. Look there.

The screen shots of the NETWORKED (!) Volusia County GEMS server alone, along with the logs showing attempts to access it remotely, should have hit the national press.

According to a statement by the Supervisor of Elections on November 17, 2004, the GEMS computer is not networked, and is "stand alone." The furnished computer logs show evidence of at least two attempts to remotely access the GEMS central tabulator, which is claimed to be secure. A computer screen shot printout on November 17, 2004 (found in the trash) shows that the GEMS computer at that time had two networked hard drives. <much more from Bev>

1. It is surreal, isn't it when...

We have consistently been ahead of the curve on this. We identified the problems with voting machine reliability and nontransparency way back in 2002; we have stressed since 2003 that the problems are not just touch screens, but with all computerized systems, including optical scans and punch cards, and we have focused on auditing as the solution since mid-2003.

the above article says it so well. Will everyone in government sit around for another four years? The Ukrainian case is just one of a kind, right, and much more important than our own.

2. In my view, the non-results have been predictable: after all, ...

... the media is owned by an ever-decreasing corporate clique that controls news as a method for creating public opinion for specific political effect, and the American public has increasingly adopted an "idealistic" view of politics which does not involve serious organizing.

3. Very interesting article

I particularly appreciate the learning curve and the comments about the party apparachiki who could care less.

Planning ahead and injunctions sound like the way to go. Without candidates with standing to challenge the methods of counting and recounting, ahead of time, how far can you go with this?

The way the national party and the media has been and is now ignoring this issue is a terrible disgrace.
