...pay no attnetion to the man behind the curtain adjusting the controls on the machine...

"A representative from Triad Systems came into a county board of elections office un-announced. He said he was just stopping by to see if they had any questions about the up-coming recount.

He then headed into the back room where the Triad supplied Tabulator (a card reader and older PC with custom software) is kept. He told them there was a problem and the system had a bad battery and had "lost all of its data".

He then took the computer apart and started swapping parts in and out of it and another "spare" tower type PC also in the room.

He may have had spare parts in his coat as one of the BOE people moved it and remarked as to how very heavy it was. He finally re-assembled everything and said it was working but to not turn it off.

He then asked which precinct would be counted for the 3% recount test, and the one which had been selected as it had the right number of votes, was relayed to him.

He then went back and did something else to the tabulator computer.

The Triad Systems representative suggested that since the hand count had to match the machine count exactly, and since it would be hard to memorize the several numbers which would be needed to get the count to come out exactly right, that

they should post this series of numbers on the wall where they would not be noticed by observers.

He suggested making them look like employee information or something similar.

The people doing the hand count could then just report these numbers no matter what the actual count of the ballots revealed."

So I'm taking it home to my workshop, my dear.
I'll fix it up there. Then I'll bring it back here.

4. His coat was unusually heavy. He probably had a substitute hard drive in

his coat pocket. Those old hard drives are mighty dense and heavy. He probably came to swap in a hard drive that had vote-rigging software on it for the recount. He also said not to turn off the machine. The program is probably self-deleting so it won't be there the next time the computer is rebooted.
