May 3, 2005 Potential conflict of interest Out of millions of voters, one vote can decide whether or not these
billions will be taken from the people. Officials, by neglect, error or intent, can falsify election results. Officials must never be trusted – especially when there is a
potential conflict of interest. Independent overseers must verify each
and every step of the election process. It is vital that officials open the November election to maximum public
oversight. Equipment and procedures that are not provably secure,
accurate, verifiable, and transparent should not be used. Unless elections are open, the potential conflict of interest will
cause deep voter distrust.
