Federal Trial Witness: Kentucky Election Officials Used E-Voting Machines to Flip Votes

Republican official says she was asked to change party affiliation to serve as 'Democratic' precinct official...

Meanwhile, back in Clay County, Kentucky, where election officials (including the county clerk, a district court judge and the school superintendent) were arrested last year, and are now on trial accused of having "fix elections for decades", a "precinct worker testified...that top election officers in the county taught her how to change people's choices on voting machines to steal votes in the May 2006 primary." The vote stealing was accomplished on ES&S touch-screen electronic voting machines, without the knowledge of legitimate voters, after they'd left the booth thinking they had cast their vote.

The scheme also included Republicans changing their party registration to Democratic in order to serve as Democratic poll judges and officers on Election Day...


As Bill Estep at the Lexington Herald-Leader recently reported:

FRANKFORT --- A former Clay County precinct worker testified Friday that top election officers in the county taught her how to change people's choices on voting machines to steal votes in the May 2006 primary.

Wanda White testified that Clerk Freddy Thompson the county's chief election officer helped show her how to manipulate voting machines along with Charles Wayne Jones, the Democratic election commissioner.

The scheme involved duping people to walk away from the voting computer before they had finished their selections, then changing their choices, said White, the Democratic judge in a precinct in Manchester.

White said she stole more than 100 votes that election.

"It was easy done," she said.

1. And it's been ten years since Bush stole the WH and the E-voting machines

were suspect and yet nothing has been done to change the system and enforce accountability in vote tabulations.

11. Yep. We need more Andys and his activism is sorely missed in this world.

The best health care system in the world killed a guy who could have gone on to do great things.

19. And we have the Iraq War, Bush's selections for the Supreme Court, crashing economy...

...crooked bankers and lying Wall Street execs, and a whole Pandora's Box of socio-economic ills foisted on our country and society.

Who knows how long we will be haunted by that debacle.

It's too bad we can't just go back and nullify all of Bush's signing statements, legislation requiring his signature, judicial appointments, federal appointments (ie, DOJ), etc.etc.etc.

Wipe the slate clean...

What a vile piece of anti-democratic slime.

10. Took some courage to tell the truth. I'm sure she got threats.

We all know this is a small part of the larger story of stealing elections. How are we going to get this into the public consciousness?

As always, Brad Friedman has done us all a great service. Thanks, Brad!

17. No doubt about that. But she did tell the truth and she will pay a price for it. n/t

12. When we voted locally, I was %100 sure they were all Republicans working there.

I even asked Party affiliation and representation and got a very timid response.
