18. OMG. Amazing.
Sounds like that came out sometime before the fall. I had never heard anything about it. Wish it would have gotten some airtime.

4. Dean was trying to tell people BEFORE the election
Edited on Sun Nov-07-04 05:10 PM by MoJoWorkin
He hosted one MSNBC show--replacing Tina Brown, and had Bev Harris on and they showed how easy it was to do--NO ONE LISTENED!

5. Transfer of it for all to see
Dean: All right, Bev, show me how to do this.



Harris: Well, What we have here is the central tabulator computer. Now in a voting system you have all these different voting machines at all the different polling places, sometimes, as in a county like mine, there's a thousand polling places in one county.

All those machines feed into the one machine so it can add up all the votes. So of course if you were going to do something you shouldn't, to a voting machine, would it be more convenient to do it to the 4000 machines or to just come in here to one machine and deal with all of them at once?

What surprises people is the central tabulator is just a PC. It's like you and I use, it uses Windows, it's just a regular computer.

Dean: So anybody who can hack into a PC, can hack into the central tabulator.

Harris: The GEMS program is the program that is the central tabulator program. And I'm going to put in a password here. OK, we're in. Now this is the official program that the county supervisor sees.



Dean: Is this the Diebold program?

Harris: Yes, this is a Diebold central tabulation program.

Dean: OK.


Report', It's gonna-- we're in spin for a minute, while it adds up all the votes from all the different precincts.

And as we can see here, Howard Dean has a thousand votes, and Lex Luther (sic) has 500 so you're beating Lex Luther and we're--

Dean : --Two to one!--



Harris: --Yes, and Tiger Woods unfortunately doesn't have any votes yet.

Dean: All right.

Harris: All right, let's close this out. I was just showing you the legitimate way to go in and look at votes, which of course--

Dean: --All right--

Harris: --you can't tamper with.

Go to the Start Menu, and I'm going to show you something tricky. And I want you to go to 'My Computer' and just click that, and you're going to see something come up, go to...

Harris: ...'Local Disc C:' and go to 'Program Files'. And on Program Files we're going to go to 'GEMS', which is the name of the Diebold program...



We're going to go to 'LocalDB', which

stands for 'Local Database, that's where they keep the votes. And by the way, this has been out on the Internet for ages now.
Harris: Go to 'Central Tabulator Votes', which is the database we just looked at...






...and then go to the 'Sum of the



Candidates', which is that table.


Harris: You see we have 800 votes here for you, and 400 for Lex Luthor-- Let's just flip those. We'll make that 400... and we'll give a hundred votes to Tiger.


Harris: Let's just see what happened here. We'll go back into GEMS the legitimate way, you're the county supervisor, you're checking on the progress of your election, and as you can see now, Howard Dean only has 500 votes, Lex Luther has 900 and Tiger Woods has 100 votes.

Dean: Hm.

Harris: We just edited an election, it took us 90 seconds.

25. for the movie quote
"I'm not going to waste a perfectly good bullet to end your misery."

They need to have their bank handle all their checking on M$ Access just to feel the pain.

9. Thank you Bev and Dean for getting
this out BEFORE the election so everyone won't be so surprised when it's proven AFTER the election!

12. Dean got a petition signed for Holt's bill
He talked about it on other shows as well. There was rally in DC to present the petitions.

He tried.. no one listened.

14. Question.....are the votes recorded live via modem while the voting is in
progress...then tabulated at the end?

This info gives me a clearer picture of how it is done. I knew they had modems...never thought about how they could change the vote at the main computer instead of the local ones....very interesting...and so damn easy to do.

17. Not sure... we were told there were no modems.
Then we were told there were. Flip flop! Liars!

A voting machine should never have a modem. Liars.
