RE: How can Neal say Boulder's election was accurate
Evan isn't far off the mark. I think that those that had become involved
with the procedures may trust the procedures, but the fact remains that the
'counting' is being done inside of a mystery machine.
It might as well be a slot machine, or as the british call it - a fruit
machine. Pull the handle and you get lemons or cherries or some combination
thereof.
For the length of time that it took to count the vote, it could have been
done by hand in each precinct.
Does anyone know if any statistical sampling was done? Are we just relying
on the totals of a scanning system that has just now proven itself to be
unreliable?
Paul - did anyone hand count sample the ballots that you were scanning? From
your description the other day, apparently not.
Some Guy who at least can count

Subject: How can Neal say Boulder's election was accurate
I just heard Neal say on KGNU that he thought Boulder's election
seemed to be accurate.
How can you say that, Neal? You nor I nor anyone else but the
shadowy "certifiers" have ever looked at the software which does the
counting.
As Bev Harris said on KGNU this morning, there is NO way of knowing
what goes on in the "black boxes" which count our votes.
Again, you techies get so lost in the details of elections, you lose
track of the big picture.
As David Dill says, there is NO difference between elections counted
by secret software and elections counted by had secretly in locked
rooms by unaccountable people.
Why did you say that, Neal? Is someone pressuring you to be
reassuring to the sheep?
Evan
