Subject: Vast election fraud?
#1 The Colorado Secretary of State permitted uncertified
software to be used to count the votes in the 2003 election. The
violation of the law was discovered and documented by CAMBER poll watchers in
Boulder County. There are many errors, and one race was decided by
only 2 votes.
#2 At least a dozen other states are guilty too. A
major news conference was held today. See http://www.blackboxvoting.org/
A clip from the website follows:
Bev Harris, author of “Black Box Voting” and Andy Stephenson,
democratic candidate for Washington secretary of state, have uncovered new
holes in the electoral system in King County and in as many as 14 additional
states.
These security breaches affect both the optical scan systems (fill-in-the-dot
or draw-the-line) and touch screen voting systems, and may also indicate
significant security problems with absentee voting procedures.
At the Tuesday press conference, Harris and Stephenson will distribute a packet
of documents to support their findings. Whereas electronic voting concerns have
focused on complex issues like cryptographic security and computer source code,
the new security flaws uncovered by Harris and Stephenson are more serious and
also easier to explain. Because the subject matter is sensitive, reporters will
want copies of the original documents to substantiate the findings, and these
will be released at the news conference. For those who cannot attend, the
information will be made available online after the press conference.
