Subject: RE: You Can Stop Election Theft! (fwd)
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2004 22:18:38 -0600 (MDT)
Thanks for the invite, but, not having a car, it's unlikely for me.
Everything I have to say is here:
I strongly suggest that you ask that your party's platform call for
"HAND-COUNTED PAPER BALLOTS UNTIL ELECTRONIC VOTING STANDARDS HAVE
BEEN SET BY NIST AND IEEE." (IEEE is the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers, NIST is the National Institute of Standards
and Technology.)
In Colorado (and Nebraska) asking for paper ballots to "back up" the
computer system is NOT enough! Here's why: Colorado law says that,
in the event of close elections or fraud allegations, any recount
must be done by the SAME method as the original count (see text
below.) This violates the basic accounting principle that sums
should be cross-checked in different ways, and means that having
paper ballots as "backup" is irrelevant in Colorado because humans
can never count them. Boulder County Commissioner Paul Danish found
out in 1994 when he lost a close race for statehouse.
Another important reason for the County NOT to spend a million
dollars or so on a new system now is that it is very likely NOT to
measure up to the standards that NIST and IEEE are now working on.
Hand-counting is used exclusively by Canada, Britain, Germany and
many other countries. A recent MIT/CalTech study showed
hand-counting to be one of the most accurate methods.
Hand-counting also employs local people, instead of enriching a
company.
Colorado Revised Statute 1-10.5-108. Method of recount.
Statute text
(1) The recount shall be of the ballots cast, and the votes shall be
recorded on sheets other than those used at the election.
(2) Unless otherwise directed by the secretary of state, the ballots
cast shall be recounted utilizing the same procedures, methods, and
processes that were utilized for the original count of the ballots
cast.
