Princeton's Felten explains Sequoia screw-ups: machines disagreed with themselves.

[Stevepol]

This is a fascinating video of Felten being interviewed. Felten has impeccable credentials as a computer expert and he and his crew at Princeton were just about to proceed with an investigation into why the Sequoia machines disagreed with themselves (not just one machine BTW) when Sequoia threatened lawsuits based on the agreements that the county clerks had signed agreeing not to divulge proprietary information.

It was interesting to me that, as Felten explains it, one machine was giving results of about a 2% discrepancy, i.e., this discrepancy might be (is?) built into the Sequoia computers. It agrees with my belief that these computers (all of them) are built to tilt about 2% or so. Additional tilt can be added later on if needed to steal a particular election.

Just my opinion for what it's worth.

2. Do people care if they buy a dishwasher

for $700 and get charged an extra 2%?

That's $14.00.

Will people go out of their way to save $14.00 on a dishwasher?

Hell yeah; that's what the free market is all about.

2% error in voting totals?

That's beyond merely fucked up.


That's stealing.
