UPDATE: 28 AUGUST 11:15am PDT
A few hours after posting the above I received an email from a friend who has asked not to have his name used. He pointed out the following that I totally missed as I was reviewing the Sequoia documents and picking the easy to reach fruit.
He pointed out the records dated August 21 or 22, 2000 that Sequoia put up on its website are otherwise curious. For example, these records appear to indicate two press runs for Palm Beach Job #67587, Runs #450 and #451, yet Sequoia produced no chad pressure test reports at all for Run #451. If each press run produced a similar amount of ballots, Run #451, for which Sequoia offered no chad pressure test results, might account for half of the punch card ballots sent under this job order to Palm Beach.
He then goes on to reveal that the chad pressure test reports Sequoia posted for Job #67587 Run #450 appear to indicate that many of the punch cards tested were from bins the numbers of which do not match the bin numbers for Run #450 on the corresponding Job #67587 press run check list. Indeed, one chad pressure test report for Run #450, that for August 21, 2000 at 7 a.m., appears to omit reference to the source of the punch cards tested all together.
And finally, a comparison of the press run check lists for Runs #450 and #451 further appears to suggest that Sequoia used one plate to produce the ballots for Run #450 and a different plate for Run #451, that the card measurements (specifications?) for Runs #450 and #451 might be different, and that the punch card ballots for each run could be differentiated from the other by reference to a black stripe on the Run #450 ballots.
Instead of giving us all the evidence we need to dismiss the Dan Rather Report, Sequoia seems to have given us more than enough evidence to prove that the report was correct and that Sequoia is hiding something.
Good job and thank you
