July 31 2016 E-Voting machine companies that donated to Hillary rigged the election for her Hillary Clinton exceeded exit poll totals in states that had no paper trail to audit the vote. This is why I am encouraging people to get election day off from work, so they can conduct exit polls and catch this type of fraud. And all of this fraud happened in states that used voting machines from companies Hillary had in her back pocket via the Clinton foundation. This was uncovered in the leaked E-mails. From caucus99percent.com From the same people who released the study showing the extraordinarily high probability that Hillary Clinton exceeded exit polling results in states that had no paper trail to use to audit the vote, we now get some even more "interesting" developments. It seems that Hillary did especially well in which states where the owners of two of the three companies that make and support e-voting machines, donated to the Clinton Fund. Interestingly, much information has recently come to light about the Clinton candidacy. Notably, the hacker Guccifer 2.0 released documents which he took from the computer network of the Democratic National Committee. Among these files, one tabulated a list of big-money donors to the Clinton Foundation. One fact has gone unreported in the media: Two of the three companies that control the electronic voting market, namely Dominion Voting and H.I.G. Capital (i.e. Hart Intercivic), are in this list of big-money donors. To examine the possibility that the products linked to these companies had been used to commit electoral fraud, we borrowed the methodology of a paper by Francois Choquette and James Johnson (C&J). Their paper is based on one of the basic principles in the biological and social sciences: As the amount of data increases, the measurement of the average approaches the ‘true’ average. In other words, as more data is added, the average fluctuates less and less. [...] You see, these same voting irregularities had been shown to occur in the 2008 and 2012 elections in favor of McCain and Romney, respectively, by the researchers, Choquette and Johnson. In 2008 and 2012, McCain and Romney" were "financially interconnected with two of the major electronic voting companies." Both the companies who donated to the Clinton Foundation share a history of past election controversies and conviction for white collar crimes. So, Rodolpho Cortes Barragan, Standford and Axel Geijsel, Tilburg University, used the same methodology Choquette and Johnson to examine the primary results in 2016. Here's what they found just in Louisana: When we looked at the results of the Republican primaries, we did not observe that any candidate kept gaining a larger and larger share of the vote at larger precincts (meaning the lines were relatively stable as precinct size increased). However, when we looked at the Democratic primaries, we observed severe abnormalities. Namely, the share of votes that Hillary Clinton received kept increasing (leading to a whopping 25%). This type of statistical abnormality is seen in almost every parish (county). It does not appear in any parish for the Republican primary ... Funny how no "funny business" ever occurred this year in the Republican primaries, only the Democratic ones. But I digress ... In their new study, Barragan and Geijsel didn't look at the exit polling, which was immediately attacked by many Clinton supporters attacked the use of exit polls (often with little or no knowledge of statistics) as vaild, such as Ari Bermin in an attack piece he wrote for The Nation. This time Barragan and Geijsel looked at preelection polls of likely voters, to see what effect the election results varied from those polls in states with and without a paper trail, on a county by county basis. Here's what they had to say: [We uncovered] new information that suggests to a concerted effort to swing the election in favor of Hillary Clinton. Specifically, we move beyond comparing the official results to the controversial exit polls. Instead, we examine a relatively neglected set of numbers: The expected result based on pre-election polls of likely voters. 337 such polls are listed on the database provided by Real Clear Politics, representing 139,231 voters across 34 primary states. We found that while the polls were quite successful at predicting Clinton’s numbers in states with paper trails (just a statistically inconsequential 1% difference), Clinton over-performed by an average of 9% in the states that use electronic voting machines but fail to provide paper evidence of this vote Here's that result as expressed in a bar graph. The blue bars show what the preelection polls predicted the percentage of votes Hillary would receive versus the red bars, which show the actual election result for Clinton. As you can see, in states with no paper trail because the votes were counted on untraceable e-voting machines, Hillary improved by a whopping nine (9) percent increase over pre-election polling results for likely voters, whereas in states where paper trails existed, she only exceeded the pre-election polls by one (1) percent. Ironic eh, one percent? It's as if someone with a black comedic sensibility was writing this year's election "script." http://82.221.129.208/ifyouareinamericayouprobablycantseethisal9.html Election Fraud Story Gets Worse: Irregularities Tied to EVoting Machine Companies that Donated to Clinton Fund Mon, 07/04/2016 - 4:42pm — Steven D From the same people who released the study showing the extraordinarily high probability that Hillary Clinton exceeded exit polling results in states that had no paper trail to use to audit the vote, we now get some even more "interesting" developments.

In an ironic twist of fate, the basis if electronic voting machines being used to steal an election was actually reported in this 2004 article in The Nation, when they feared the Democratic Presidential nominee, John Kerry, would lose because of Republican manipulation of our votes. Now, however, that the Democratic Party Establishment candidate stands accused of benefiting from the same electronic voting machine that cannot be audited, they sing a different tune. No rigged election this time, despite numerousstudies that have demonstrated votes have likely been manipulated by these exact same machines, whether comparing final voting results to exit polls or pre-election polls. Here's Baragan & Geigsel's understated response to this result: Thus, pollsters were quite accurate in predicting the outcome, but only in states where fraud is hardest to hide. This situation is completely flipped in the states where the placed vote cannot be verified, as the vote only ever existed in the machines. [...] Why would voters in larger precincts favor one candidate over the other by such a wide margin? We have been unable to come up with a reasonable psychological or sociological reason that would apply only to voters voting in the Democratic primary. In conclusion, the data suggests that Clinton won in counties and in states where Clinton Foundation donors are responsible for the voting machines. Thus, we strongly believe that the risk posed by unverifiable electronic voting should not be taken. Our country should go back to verifiable voting. An honest election is more important than a day of labor. Cue the Correct the Record and Hillary supporters (or hired trolls) CT whiners in one, two, three ...

That's why only a minimum sample size from a population is needed, and above that, it's just unnecessary to take more samples. Random and independent sampling is sufficient and necessary to get an understanding of the big picture. Bayes in England began the idea of reasoning with probability in 1763 in England. We've had almost two and a half centuries of advances in statistical science. Dutch sociologist Marcel van Dam is credited with creating exit polling in the Netherlands in 1967. It's proven it's worth all over the world and only a few mindless shills in the US will try to make up silly arguments against it. Of course, hand counting is an additional way of verifying votes.

Ironically, just as the case was with Abedin submitted an email that Hillary chose to keep from the government, the daily planning schedules from Hillary's aides now shines a light on the detail Clinton tried to keep from the public record once again.

Who benefits beside the media that wants to tell an instant story? Why do we need the results in less than four hours as in Canada, or even four days for that matter? Depending on the election the winner is not sworn in for weeks - the first of the following year at the earliest. So what is the rush? Paper ballots are the one sure way to ensure accurate counting of results. Is accuracy not more important than speed? This issue is even more important than big money in politics because even if we reduce the money in elections, what good does it do us if we can't get an accurate count of the votes? up 33 users have voted. — I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance. - e.e.cummings Log in or register to post comments Mon, 07/04/2016 - 6:15pm — riverlover There are now many of us forced-out retirees who would be glad to oversee or even count paper ballots.

Those damn electronic machines are the problem, and lots of states bought them with the HAVA funds. NM bought and used them in the 2004 election.

That’s the good word from Democratic Party powers that be and their transcribers in the corporate media, in response to the “allegations” by Bernie Sanders supporters that the nomination was stolen by Hillary Clinton. I used scare quotes around the word “allegations” because the truth is plain to see and undeniable by anyone with a microgram of honesty: Hillary Clinton cheated. If the rules had been followed, Bernie Sanders would be the nominee. As with all things Clinton, of course, definitions matter. It depends on what the meaning of “cheat” is. To most people, “cheating” means breaking the rules of a contest. By this standard definition, there’s no doubt that the Clinton campaign, its political allies and the Democratic National Committee cheated in favor of Clinton and against Sanders. They broke the law. They disenfranchised voters. They broke party rules. And they violated longstanding customs that are so widely accepted that they are essentially de facto rules of the Democratic Party and the American political system. Bernie Sanders, on the other hand, ran a clean campaign. Emphasis added.

I continue to see the claims by these authors that Virginia doesn't have "paper ballots and a paper trial". This claim is just false -- it's based on the machines that were in use in the 2014 election cycle. There may be jurisdictions where they are still in use, but most of the large and most populous counties transitioned over to paper ballots/scantrons in the spring primary (e.g. the transition was prompted by security concerns over the old touch screen systems). If someone wanted to do an audit, there is a paper trail. 2. They talk about the two as "sister" states. Maybe things look that way for someone who is just looking at one variable (e.g. racial composition), but it's not accurate. Take median income. In North Carolina it's $46,000. In Virginia it's $62,000. That's a big difference. Also keep in mind, some of the richest, and most consistently Democratic counties in America are in Northern Virginia. The Democrats in these counties are much more similar to voters in Maryland's DC suburbs than those in North Carolina. e.g. this is the heart of the political establishment. It's pretty incredible that Sanders even got one-third of the vote. In the case of advertising, I don't think Sanders actually spent any money in Virginia. Clinton spent at least $500K on ads. However, he did spend money in North Carolina, probably outspent Clinton. The most consistent variables that predict a Sanders/Clinton voter are age, income and race. In that order. The areas of Virginia outside the Beltway may have more in common with North Carolina, but that Beltway area is one-quarter of the state's population, and a huge part of the Democratic vote share. I can't speak to every state -- in the case of Puerto Rico, the vote was clearly rigged in the most ham-fisted way. New York City's vote definitely looks like it was gamed. However, in the case of Virginia and North Carolina, I don't find the "election fraud" argument persuasive. up 1 user has voted.

Other people have set up a non-profit foundation for donations. A Sedgwick County judge is expected to set filing deadlines and a trial date at a Monday hearing. Clarkson has analyzed election returns in Kansas and elsewhere over several elections that indicate "a statistically significant" pattern where the percentage of Republican votes increase the larger the size of the precinct. The pattern could indicate election fraud." A guess for the fraud algorithm is that the machines count the votes normally when there are few votes so all testing will not show any anomaly. However, when the number of votes is getting heavy then it will start to miscount. In a way, it's rather like the Volkswagen emission cheat. The software was designed to figure out whether the car was really idling or just throttling under a test or it's being run for real and behaves differently to give either less emission or more power. up 5 users have voted.

By Axel Geijsel, Tilburg University & Rodolfo Cortes Barragan, Stanford University “There is no reason to trust insiders in the elections industry.”- Jimmy Carter, 39th U.S. President Today is the Fourth of July. Millions of Americans are celebrating independence from an Empire that refused to allow our forefathers equal representation in its legislature. We Americans like to believe that in this day and age, we have reached the apex of democracy. Yet, throughout the history of the our nation, millions of people have struggled and fought to have their voices heard and their votes counted. In light of our history of disenfranchisement, where do we stand today? Are all of us heard and represented equally? Or are some more equal than others? A few weeks ago, we reported that in her contest against Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won by a much larger margin in states that do not have a paper trail to the placed votes. We suggested that a targeted electronic drain of Sanders votes may have taken place in these states, as it is there that vote manipulation is easiest to hide. In this new study, we uncover new information that suggests to a concerted effort to swing the election in favor of Hillary Clinton. Specifically, we move beyond comparing the official results to the controversial exit polls. Instead, we examine a relatively neglected set of numbers: The expected result based on pre-election polls of likely voters. 337 such polls are listed on the database provided by Real Clear Politics, representing 139,231 voters across 34 primary states. We found that while the polls were quite successful at predicting Clinton’s numbers in states with paper trails (just a statistically inconsequential 1% difference), Clinton over-performed by an average of 9% in the states that use electronic voting machines but fail to provide paper evidence of this vote: Thus, pollsters were quite accurate in predicting the outcome, but only in states where fraud is hardest to hide. This situation is completely flipped in the states where the placed vote cannot be verified, as the vote only ever existed in the machines. It is quite possible that the vote in these states was, in fact, manipulated. Studies conducted by teams of computer scientists at Princeton, NYU, and UCSD show that the machines from all major companies, such as the AVC Advantage made by Sequoia (now owned by Dominion), have severe security issues and are very vulnerable to network viruses. Despite this fact, there is very little state or federal regulation of the machines, and regulations regarding intellectual property have often prevented independent research. Apart from the security problems, many researchers have posited that the biggest danger does not come from the outside, but from the inside. Most of the election companies have been mired in controversy, both in terms of conflicts of interest and having been convicted of white collar crime. The companies have done very little to dispel the controversies, and even added fuel to the fire. For example, in 2003, Walden O’Dell, CEO of Diebold and a top fundraiser for George W. Bush, wrote in one of his fundraising pitches to the Republicans that they were “committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the President.” Additionally, in 2008 and 2012 two major candidates, McCain and Romney, were not only financially interconnected with two of the major electronic voting companies, but they were also shown to benefit from severe statistical irregularities in voting patterns. One could ask whether these same patterns are also found in the 2016 primary election. Interestingly, much information has recently come to light about the Clinton candidacy. Notably, the hacker Guccifer 2.0 released documents which he took from the computer network of the Democratic National Committee. Among these files, one tabulated a list of big-money donors to the Clinton Foundation. One fact has gone unreported in the media: Two of the three companies that control the electronic voting market, namely Dominion Voting and H.I.G. Capital (i.e. Hart Intercivic), are in this list of big-money donors. To examine the possibility that the products linked to these companies had been used to commit electoral fraud, we borrowed the methodology of a paper by Francois Choquette and James Johnson (C&J). Their paper is based on one of the basic principles in the biological and social sciences: As the amount of data increases, the measurement of the average approaches the ‘true’ average. In other words, as more data is added, the average fluctuates less and less. What C&J found is that, both in the 2008 and 2012 cycles, this basic principle was violated only in the case of pro-corporate candidates. McCain and Romney kept gaining a greater and greater share of the vote at large precincts, while non-corporate candidates did not. The explanation C&J provide is that if one person (or multiple people) would aim to hack the vote, they may choose to do it primarily where they can have the most influence and where the fraud would also be the easiest to hide. Essentially, they would hack the bigger precincts. Using the method described by C&J, we analyzed the Democratic and Republican primaries for Louisiana. The reason why we picked this state is because of the strong discrepancy between the likely voter intent and the reported results (which was 12% in favor for Clinton), because of the fact that their statewide data is readily downloadable, and, finally, because each precinct in this state used the same type of electronic voting machine. When we looked at the results of the Republican primaries, we did not observe that any candidate kept gaining a larger and larger share of the vote at larger precincts (meaning the lines were relatively stable as precinct size increased). However, when we looked at the Democratic primaries, we observed severe abnormalities. Namely, the share of votes that Hillary Clinton received kept increasing (leading to a whopping 25%). This type of statistical abnormality is seen in almost every parish (county). It does not appear in any parish for the Republican primary: As such, in Louisiana, a state with solely electronic voting, Sen. Sanders is the only candidate in either party to face an overwhelming disadvantage at larger precincts. Again, this does not simply reflect an urban vs. rural distinction. There are large precincts in small towns and small precincts in big cities. Why would voters in larger precincts favor one candidate over the other by such a wide margin? We have been unable to come up with a reasonable psychological or sociological reason that would apply only to voters voting in the Democratic primary. In conclusion, the data suggests that Clinton won in counties and in states where Clinton Foundation donors are responsible for the voting machines. Thus, we strongly believe that the risk posed by unverifiable electronic voting should not be taken. Our country should go back to verifiable voting. An honest election is more important than a day of labor. We can return to our initial question: Is everyone represented equally in our country? As President Jimmy Carter has written, and as Harvard research has shown, the U.S. has turned into an oligarchy. The votes of the rich seem to weigh more than the votes of the poor. Is this the country we want to leave for our children? Note: Additional analyses and a response to the critics of our initial report can be found in our Appendix. Lastly, we are both full-time students (with big loans) who are working part-time while doing this research (much more is to come).

Kim Zetter 10.13.03 Diebold Election Systems has had a tumultuous year, and it doesn't look like it's getting any better. Last January the electronic voting machine maker faced public embarrassment when voting activists revealed the company's insecure FTP server was making its software source code available for everyone to see. Then researchers and auditors who examined code for the company's touch-screen voting system released two separate reports stating that the software was full of serious security flaws. Now a former worker in Diebold's Georgia warehouse says the company installed patches on its machines before the state's 2002 gubernatorial election that were never certified by independent testing authorities or cleared with Georgia election officials. If the charges are true, Diebold could be in violation of federal and state election-certification rules. The charges also raise questions about the integrity of the Georgia election results and any other election that uses patched Diebold systems that have not been re-certified. According to Rob Behler, an engineer hired as a contractor to work in Diebold's Georgia warehouse last year, the Diebold systems had major functioning problems. Behler said 25 to 30 percent of the machines in one shipment to the warehouse either crashed upon booting or had problems with their realtime clocks, causing the systems to register the date inaccurately then boot improperly or freeze up altogether. "They did not meet what I would deem standard operation," he said. Behler said Diebold provided warehouse workers with at least three patches to apply to the systems before state officials began logic and accuracy testing on them. Behler said one patch was applied to machines when he came to the warehouse in June, a second patch was applied in July and a third in August after he left the warehouse. Behler first informed Bev Harris, owner of the BlackBox Voting site, of the situation. Harris has spent a year investigating problems with electronic voting systems, and is the author of a forthcoming book on the technology. She said the practice of patching systems after they've been certified opens the possibility for anyone -- from Diebold employees to local election officials -- to install malicious code on a machine that could alter election results and then delete itself to avoid detection. According to Harris, this scenario is particularly worrisome in light of what happened in the Georgia gubernatorial race, which ended in a major upset that defied all polls and put a Republican in the governor's seat for the first time in more than 130 years. Republican candidate Sonny Perdue managed to unseat Democratic incumbent Roy Barnes with only 51 percent of the vote. It was the first time an incumbent governor had not won his second term since Georgia law allowed back-to-back terms in 1978. Pundits have attributed the upset to dissatisfaction with the incumbent for altering a Confederate symbol on the state flag and to effective stumping by President George W. Bush on behalf of Perdue. Harris acknowledged no proof exists that anyone rigged the election systems, but she said, "We'll never know exactly what happened in Georgia because there's no paper trail to verify the votes." Harris and other voting activists around the country are calling for states and certifying authorities to open the election process and electronic voting systems to public scrutiny to ensure public confidence in elections. Officials in Georgia's secretary of state's office did not respond to repeated calls for comment. Behler was hired by Automated Business Systems and Services, a large contracting agency, to work in Diebold's Georgia warehouse from midJune to mid-July 2002, five months before the gubernatorial election. He was in charge of assembling about 20,000 machines for the election, testing them and shipping them to 159 counties. But, he said, the work was complicated by misbehaving machines that presented few clues to their problems. "It's hard to track down a problem when you go out to your car and the first time it starts, the next time the headlights don't work, the next time you start it the brakes are out, and the next time you start it the door falls off," Behler said. "That's really the way they were." Behler said Diebold programmers posted patches to a file-transferprotocol site for him and his colleagues to apply to the machines. Diebold did not respond to repeated calls for comment, but in an interview with Salon in February, company spokesman Joseph Richardson denied the company applied any patches to the Georgia machines. "We have analyzed that situation and have no indication of that happening at all," he said. Rebecca Mercuri, a computer science professor and research fellow at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government who is an expert on voting machines, says an unregulated change to voting software would raise big concerns for her. "Having any change to the operating system allows someone to slip in anything to the code. If (a patch) was not run through the inspection process, then there could be a violation of the Georgia state law," she said. Indeed, Georgia law requires that companies that make changes to fix defective systems after they are certified must let state officials know about the changes and provide test documentation showing that changes do not do anything to the system other than fix the defect. Before machines are used in an election, state election boards conduct logic and accuracy tests (PDF) on them with a mock election to make sure the machines perform properly. Academics at Kennesaw State University, led by professor emeritus Brit Williams, have a contract with the state to perform this testing. But Behler said Diebold instructed him and his colleagues to fix problems with the machines before Kennesaw State would see them. "If they started erring in mass quantities, Kennesaw State's going to raise a red flag, the secretary of state's going to raise a red flag and Diebold wouldn't get paid," Behler said. He said the machines were patched not only in the Diebold warehouse, but also in county warehouses after they were shipped from Diebold. At one point, Behler said he went to a warehouse in DeKalb County with "a high-level Diebold executive" to examine systems that were freezing up. Behler patched 1,387 machines but said, "We were still running upwards of 20 to 25 percent errors." Diebold programmers contacted him and his colleagues and told them the patch was incorrect and they'd have to load a new one. "JS equipment is what we were calling it at the time," said Behler. "Junk shit. Everyone in the warehouse was familiar with the term, to say the least." Behler said the patches he applied were never certified. No third party, other than the Diebold engineers who created the patches, knew what was in the patches. And once machines were patched, they did not undergo re-certification. When he told Kennesaw professor Williams in July that the machines were being patched, Behler said Williams told him: "Do whatever you need to do now, but you won't be touching the machines once we start our systems-testing on them." Diebold officials, including company president Bob Urosevich, were angered that he had talked to Williams, according to Behler. "I literally got called on the carpet and ... told that I was not to speak a word to any of the Kennesaw State people," Behler said. Behler said as far as he knows, election officials in the Georgia secretary of state's office were never told about the patches. "That's the last thing Diebold wanted," said Behler. "They made that very clear.... I sat around tables where (Diebold people) discussed whether they were going to tell them the truth, the half-truth or a complete lie. "I understand if a company has information that they need to keep under tight lip. But when you sit around discussing lying to a client in order to make sure you're getting paid ... it's an ethics issue." Williams of Kennesaw State University denies Behler ever mentioned patches to him and said, to his knowledge, no uncertified patches were applied to the machines. He said he would be very concerned if this happened. "If they were changing the configuration of the machine, that would certainly be a concern because that would violate the certification," he said. Williams does acknowledge, however, that a month and a half before the November election, he worked with Diebold to apply a patch to the Windows CE operating system. The voting machines run on version 3.0 of Windows CE, he said, and they patched it to correct problems they were having with the system. But he said this patch was passed by Wyle Laboratories, the independent testing authority that originally certified the machines. "We asked (Wyle) to take a quick look at it, but we didn't have time to do a full qualification on it. This was a month and a half before the election. To go through the full ITA qualification and state certification takes about six months. We asked them to look at it from the point of view of whether or not it would have any impact at all on the main line of the voting software." As for other patches, Williams said, "We have no idea what Diebold or anybody else does when they go in their warehouse and shut that door." Williams said they compare the system when it comes out of the Diebold warehouse to make sure it's the same software version that was certified by the ITAs. But he acknowledges that this does not include reading the source code. He added, however, "We have absolutely no reason to believe that Diebold did anything in that warehouse that we're unaware of." As for Behler, Williams said he's a disgruntled employee who was fired from the project by Diebold and Automated Business Systems and Services. ABSS, however, said this isn't true. Initially, Terrence Thomas, ABSS vice president for the southwest region, told Wired News that Behler was dismissed for "lack of performance." But when pressed to elaborate, Thomas consulted Behler's employee file, which he said he had previously not read, and admitted there was no indication that Behler was fired or that anyone at Diebold or ABSS had been disappointed with his performance. "He was released because his part of the project was completed," Thomas said. He repeated that it wasn't a performance issue. "Officially in my files, there's nothing to indicate that," he said. James Rellinger, another contractor who worked in the Diebold warehouse until November, confirms that both Diebold and ABSS seemed happy with Behler's work. Rellinger said workers were surprised when they learned Behler had been replaced and hinted that internal politics were likely the cause. Behler was replaced by a friend of an ABSS project manager, who was later hired as a full-time employee of Diebold. Behler denies he's a disgruntled employee, saying he is going out on a limb by revealing information that could cost him future work. "I have seven children to support," he said. "This is not the kind of thing I would say if it wasn't the truth."

It involves a meme I created that the actor Tim Robbins then retweeted. The meme shows the difference between the exit polls in several states and the results given by the voting machines. I and many others believe the massive difference in the numbers is due to election fraud, but we’ll get to that in a moment. Let’s start with the end of the article where Josh Holland tries to further indict me by closing with “I asked Lee Camp if he was ‘interested in the fact that this is factually inaccurate and really misleading? I mean, can a meme be retracted? Is that something that would interest you?’ He didn’t respond.” Josh Holland believes he “asked” me this because he sent an email to an account I don’t check often. As Holland certainly knows, I get hundreds of emails a day. I’m sure he does too. Many of those emails are from very strange people who send meaningless crap. The name “Josh Holland” did not stand out to me. Then when I did read the email, he didn’t introduce himself as anyone of note or a reporter for that matter. Going back through my emails I can see he had a signature at the bottom that says he’s a writer, but how often do people scan through signatures when they receive weird sarcastic angry emails? So this is a guy who couldn’t pass the most basic hurdle of journalistic integrity – Let the person you’re “interviewing” know that you’re interviewing them for an article. And then he implies that because I didn’t respond, I can’t defend the meme I created. I can, however, and I will. Not just because I want to correct Josh Holland’s journalism fail but because I want people to hear the facts behind the corporate mouthpieces who uphold this fraud for the powers that be. Josh Holland wants to lead you to believe that exit polls (in my meme and gathered together by Richard Charnin) are just wildly inaccurate and basically don’t mean anything. But it’s quite easy to find screen shots or video that verify the exit poll numbers I used. CNN did indeed report Bernie Sanders was losing by 4% according to exit polls (Watch it here). So if these numbers are incorrect, that begs the question why CNN or other news outlets would report them at all. I mean, shouldn’t Mr. Holland spend most of his time writing headlines like, “CNN Reports Wildly Incorrect Exit Poll Numbers”? That sounds like quite the scandal. Rather than go after CNN or NBC for reporting these numbers (that he believes are false), Holland attacks me. Holland goes on to quote Joe Lenski (which he spells “Lensky”) who he says is with Edison Research. However, it’s tough to know whether Lenski knew he was being interviewed since Holland prefers to avoid revealing he’s interviewing people for articles. For all we know Lenski was just making stuff up in an online chat with someone he thought was a sexy co-ed. Lenski apparently told Holland that American exit polls are “just not designed for that type of precision. They’re surveys, and like any other survey, they have a margin of error.” What Holland is very careful to avoid revealing to readers is that there is an exact margin of error. It’s +/-4% according to Edison Research’s website. However, the NY exit polls were off by TWELVE PERCENT. And many states were equally wildly off. Holland does a fine job of avoiding such inconvenient facts. Furthermore, this entire line of thought is a contradiction for Mr. Holland. At one point he wants you to believe the exit polls Charnin used for his analysis are INCORRECT (different from what was reported) and then a few paragraphs later he wants you to believe they are CORRECT but NOT PRECISE (the same as what was reported but it doesn’t matter). Which is it, Mr. Holland? Are they the correct exit poll numbers but the polls aren’t very good? Or are they incorrect exit poll numbers altogether? You can’t have it both ways. That’s like saying, “I did NOT sleep with that woman. AND I didn’t enjoy it.” Even IF we go with Mr. Holland’s thesis that exit polls in America are all but meaningless but that they’re REALLY GOOD in other countries, you would think Holland would want to use his masterful reporting skills to find out why the most powerful “democracy” in the world doesn’t want verifiable proof that their voting system is working properly. Mr. Holland would surely then start researching the voting machine audits in places like Chicago where widespread fraud WAS INDEED discovered. Mr. Holland might also want to let his readers know about Diebold – the company that used to run our voting machines until they were indicted by federal prosecutors for “worldwide criminal conduct.” Or he might want to mention how certain voting machines are ripe for hackingaccording to cyber security experts. But no, facts like that are not good for Mr. Holland’s argument that these elections are pristine. Finally Holland seems to confuse two kinds of “adjusted” poll numbers. He thinks that “adjusting” for non-response rates is the same as “adjusting” for what the voting machines tell us. When people (like me) say they’re looking at “unadjusted” poll numbers, they mean they’re looking at poll numbers before they were FORCED to fit with the machine tallies. As election fraud expert and NY Times bestselling author Greg Palast told me, “After Florida 2000 and Ohio 2004, when exit polls showed Gore and Kerry as winners, US TV networks asked exit polling contractors to ‘conform’ the results to the official results. So, of course, all evidence of hanky-panky disappears.” Holland seems to entirely misunderstand what “adjusted” means. There’s no mention of Lensky carefully explaining this to Holland, but who knows what happened in that conversation that wasn’t reported. Or perhaps Holland would like to let his readers know that the 2004 election wasINDEED stolen for the Republicans as proven by Greg Palast, and that the exit polls showed as much. But Josh Holland is in a tough spot. He’s trying to defend a system that was recently rated by a Harvard study as the worst in the Western world for fair elections. That’s not an easy job. It’s like being the current publicist for Bill Cosby. Holland has to rely on smoke and mirrors because this system is so clearly corrupt. Over 50% of America already believes the presidential nominating system is rigged. So I sent an email to Mr. Holland saying, “Are you interested in the fact that your reporting is factually inaccurate and really misleading? I mean, can a column be retracted? Is that something that would interest you?” …I sent it to an email address he doesn’t often check and didn’t identify myself. …I haven’t heard back. UPDATE: Richard Charnin and Bob Fitrakis (the author of six books on election integrity) have ALSO responded to Josh Holland’s sad attempt at reporting. They tear his argument limb from limb with simple facts. Read their responses HERE. UPDATE #2: Here is another well-researched article demonstrating election fraud by looking at the exit polls. It brings up an interesting point that I did not know before. If Holland’s assertion that the exit polls are all just WILDLY OFF all the time is true, then they would be WAY off for the GOP primary as well. They AREN’T. According to the article, the GOP primary exit polls have been almost dead on. This further negates Holland’s evidence-free argument. Comments ( 27 ) 1. May 10, 2016K House Keeping it real Lee :D 2. May 8, 2016Zedster Well that sounds easier than picking you up on my shoulders and more fun than washing your car. And I was very serious, so yes I can help out. Very much on the verge of starting my own page so this would help me with research too. This will mean I would have to re-activate my FB account and deal with the insanity/apathy shit but it's for a good cause. So I hope you do a lot more proprostitution stuff then. They would be a fun group to get to know. 3. May 8, 2016leecamp Hey, thanks for response. You asked what you could do to help grow the show. And if you're seriously asking, then here's something. Basically we need people to every week take segment clips which are posted to YouTube.com/RedactedTonight and distribute them to websites/ Facebook groups/ and Twitter accounts that care about that topic. So pick the one each week that you like best (for example: a clip about Monsanto), and then spend some time looking for "Stop Monsanto" websites, Facebook pages, and Twitter accounts. This may take some creativity - For example if it's a Monsanto clip, then look up natural food sites. Then once you find them, email those sites and ask them to consider posting the video. Or post the clip on their Facebook group. Or tweet at them and say "Please check out this clip and retweet it." That honestly is the big help we need. If you're not able to do it, no worries. And if you find a website or FB group that is AWESOME, feel free to send it our way. THANKS for all your help! ~Lee 4. May 8, 2016Zedster Very well said Claudia! I too have dealt with a good long bout of depression and this election does not help. I am an ex-pat that has lived in Denmark (no they are not the happiest people in the world, I hope) for over 20 years. I am actually an army vet from the 80s getting out right at the end of the Kuwait war. I will make the long story short. I recently woke up to how things really are working and although I still love my country deeply, I am ashamed of what it really is. So anyways, I too recently found your show Mr. Camp and love what you are doing. Waiting a week between shows sucks but hey. I am at a place right now where I want to do anything to help wake people the f%ck up (hate censoring myself)! So Lee if there is anything I can ever do. Put you on my shoulders so you can be heard, wash your car whatever sir, just say the word! Really, keep up the good work. I wish I could be half as articulate as you are. It is a great gift. On a final note about election fraud. I have posted this everywhere on youtube but I will throw a pitch for it here to. Check out blockchain voting machines. I have to assume you know what Bitcoin is. It is based on the same type of open source technology. Yes it is still a machine but it would be very very hard (some say impossible) to corrupt this type of system without detection. 5. May 8, 2016C My vote in Illinois was on a Diebold machine, so they are still being used. 6. May 6, 2016leecamp Thank you, Claudia. Incredibly kind of you! 7. May 6, 2016notcalvin please keep up the coverage of election fraud till November (at least). you have to repeat it as long as possible until it gets heated. they get to repeat their BS too. keep fighting ;) greetings from Germany. 8. May 5, 2016Patricia My name is Claudia Reyes, I've had suffered from depression for years feeling desperate at not being able to do anything to end political corruption and violence abroad. In February of this year I started to actively volunteer for Bernie Sander's campaign and my inner life changed significantly. Finally I received a response to my prayers from the universe. For a long time I wished with all my heart to have a person with integrity, morals and principles in the political world. With horror, pain, anger and sorrow I had been posting in my Facebook everything I know about the crimes that the Clintons have and continue to commit in Latin America, middle east, India... .... until one woman posted on my wall a video of RedactedTonight basically suggesting me to laugh a little, I needed to laugh. And it worked. My gut relaxed for the first time in many years. I used to do stand up comedy but never on serious issues and I've done journalism on serious topics but never combined both cause I didn't feel like laughing at cruelty or injustice. Now I watched RedactedTonight because I not only laugh at serious matter, but also learn; I see Lee as a serious journalist who does his job with integrity and responsibility. His show reflects the truths and facts that the main stream media hides. His program has become a main source for me to consult whenever I need to know of something. I am having fun again and feel inspired by his call to continue fighting at the end of each episode. I am no longer repressed. Thank you universe for giving us Lee Camp and RedactedTonight and thank you Lee for working for justice, true love and intelligence, just like Bernie Sanders does. You are not alone and we, your audience will stand up for you whenever they absurdly attack you. 9. May 4, 2016jlalbrecht I found Richard Charnin a couple months ago. Fascinating work. Excellent analysis. I'm subscribed on YouTube, but I just found this web-site through a tweet today. If the trees all bend one way, you know which way the wind blows. Keep fighting the good fight! Maybe this election cycle this subject will get some traction. 10. May 1, 2016J The sunny version of history that this kind of journalism tries to back up teaches us that the whole point of America was voting and democracy and happy sunshine. But when we want to make sure our votes *are* getting counted, we're told to go sit by the lizard people enthusiasts. Say we're all completely wrong: we're not asking for anything unreasonable by saying "hmmm, this seems off and this seems off- hey, maybe we should look into this further." Or so I would've thought. 11. May 1, 2016Kim Kaufman Hi Lee - Your piece got linked today over at Naked Capitalism: http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2016/05/links-5116.html 12. May 1, 2016Frank Shannon Thank you! 13. May 1, 2016JoAnn I AM Thank you for this article Mr Camp and for articulating this gross injustice to the citizens of our country. Our elections are rigged and everyone in my world has been saying that for years. I never really believed it, because I didn't bother to investigate. I have been very apathetic to politics in my adult life and I thank Bernie Sanders for waking me and millions of others from this darkness. We will not be going back to sleep! I have spoken a lot to my older family and friends about the fraud occurring in the latest rounds of primary voting and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM say the same thing....."that's just the way it is." and then they are willing to just fall back into line. I guess that was me too, except I really didn't think the elections were rigged, since Barack Obama was elected twice and I voted for him twice. =) I have HOPE for the younger generations now, THEY ARE WOKE! I have no doubt in my GEN-X mind that the next few years are going to be bumpy ride, but I AM in it for the long haul and I AM so glad that we are on the same team. BE WELL. ♥ 14. April 30, 2016Lady Reverb Raw Story is a joke, and so is Josh Holland. The word is out that they've been busily purging their regular readership if they support Bernie, and refuse to vote for Hillary. 15. April 30, 2016leecamp Thank you! Really appreciate the support! 16. April 30, 2016Kim Kaufman Thank you for this, Lee Camp. Election fraud is the dirty little secret of our elections, from both parties, and it needs more sunlight. I am honored to say that Joshua Holland "unfriended" me on Facebook because I kept pointing out his transparent hypocrisies by constantly posting pro-Hillary and anti-Bernie posts and now he's saying he's supporting Bernie. He's soiled himself thoroughly getting into this area and exposing his shoddy and biased writing (I will not dignify it by calling it reporting). Keep it up, Lee Camp - we need more like you! 17. April 30, 2016leecamp Ha! Thank you! Welcome to my world. I've been screaming about things that should be national stories for years. They never are though... But don't give up. 18. April 30, 2016Shadrack I am a seventy year old white guy that watches Redacted Tonight religiously. The exit poll scandal was so maddening that I found Lee Camp's website to see what was here. Seven fucking comments?!?! That's it? On what should have been a nationwide felony case and the biggest scandal of the year, and seven fucking comments?! When some over paid professional narcissist under inflates a freakin football, it's covered coast to coast on every major network for months. Jesus Christ! I can't believe how apathetic Americans have become over the political situation in this country. Keep up the good work Lee. Even some of us dinosaurs appreciate what you do. 19. April 30, 2016Stephen Thank you for being a voice of reason and clarity in a murky world of waste, fraud and abuse of our precious democracy! 20. April 30, 2016Renee the saying "tall trees catch a lot of wind" apply to you, Lee. Many on our side of the field (e.g. Young Turks, except maybe for Jimmy Dore) are succumbing already. So you are the last man standing there in the center of the public eye. I applaud you for being a leader in this entire madness. Good analysis of the absurdity of holland. Then again: are the people that dumb or numb that they don't see trough it and need the explanation? Guess not, as you put it so eloquently and funny in one of your MOC. Keep up your light! 21. April 30, 2016leecamp His only response to me on Twitter was "You don't know what you're talking about." 22. April 30, 2016leecamp Thank you! And I've joined the groups. 23.

Robert F Kennedy Jr. outlined the play by plays in the 2004 presidential election theft and they exactly match what's going on here, down to the condescending dismissal by the Washington Post and NYT. Of real interest, and have tried to get someone with this information, if it has been collated (Election Justice USA ppl may have an idea but they are so swamped) - the numbers of suspiciously or illegally purged Democratic voters who were Sanders supporters vs Clinton supporters. For this is essential to follow up on the data breach theory... Bless you for your role in getting this out there, and - Holland seems to be much more of a dick than Philip Bump (perhaps growing up Bump instills a certain humility) who wrote a piece for the Washington Post brushing off the conspiracy theorist wack-o defense, as he tried to explain the Screen-Shot Heard 'Round The World that caught the WaPo's website totally screwing the numbers. He ended his condescending lesson about the vulnerability of weak minds with the salient argument that WaPo gets it's data from AP, and AP explained the situation as a simple case of 'vote entry error.' But as in the brief exchange I had with him I came to suspect he was a closet sympathizer, as anyone who covers elections and DC for any length of time would have to be, if they're not an idiot. He wrote, "I never said I couldn't embrace your conspiracy theory..." and then posted Debbie Lusinngan's video response to his twitter page, with the comment, "Someone posted this to my Facebook wall; it's pretty amazing. User name is The Sane Progressive." So he intentionally put her work out to the world, and without a pejorative disclaimer..

By Ronnie Dugger JULY 29, 2004 Facebook Twitter Email Print On November 2 millions of Americans will cast their votes for President in computerized voting systems that can be rigged by corporate or local-election insiders. Some 98 million citizens, five out of every six of the roughly 115 million who will go to the polls, will consign their votes into computers that unidentified computer programmers, working in the main for four private corporations and the officials of 10,500 election jurisdictions, could program to invisibly falsify the outcomes. Click here to help prevent disenfranchisment in this year's election. Ronnie Dugger wrote the definitive warning essay about the dangers of computerized vote-counting in The New Yorker of November 7, 1988. Research support was provided by The Nation Institute. Dugger wishes to acknowledge the special assistance of Frances Mendenhall, Pokey Anderson, Peter Neumann, Rebecca Mercuri, Roxanne Jekot and David Jefferson, and his debt to hundreds of other reporters whose work cannot be properly credited here. The result could be the failure of an American presidential election and its collapse into suspicions, accusations and a civic fury that will make Florida 2000 seem like a family spat in the kitchen. Robert Reich, Bill Clinton’s Labor Secretary, has written, “Automated voting machines will be easily rigged, with no paper trails to document abuses.” Senator John Kerry told Florida Democrats last March, “I don’t think we ought to have any vote cast in America that cannot be traced and properly recounted.” Pointing out in a recent speech at the NAACP convention that “a million African-Americans were disenfranchised in the last election,” Kerry says his campaign is readying 2,000 lawyers to “challenge any place in America where you cannot trace the vote and count the votes” [see Greg Palast, “Vanishing Votes,” May 17]. ADVERTISING The potential for fraud and error is daunting. About 61 million of the votes in November, more than half the total, will be counted in the computers of one company, the privately held Election Systems and Software (ES&S) of Omaha, Nebraska. Altogether, nearly 100 million votes will be counted in computers provided and programmed by ES&S and three other private corporations: British-owned Sequoia Voting Systems of Oakland, California, whose touch-screen voting equipment was rejected as insecure against fraud by New York City in the 1990s; the Republican-identified company Diebold Election Systems of McKinney, Texas, whose machines malfunctioned this year in a California election; and Hart InterCivic of Austin, one of whose principal investors is Tom Hicks, who helped make George W. Bush a millionaire. About a third of the votes, 36 million, will be tabulated completely inside the new paperless, direct-recording-electronic (DRE) voting systems, on which you vote directly on a touch-screen. Unlike receipted transactions at the neighborhood ATM, however, you get no paper record of your vote. Since, as a government expert says, “the ballot is embedded in the voting equipment,” there is no voter-marked paper ballot to be counted or recounted. Voting on the DRE, you never know, despite what the touch-screen says, whether the computer is counting your vote as you think you are casting it or, either by error or fraud, it is giving it to another candidate. No one can tell what a computer does inside itself by looking at it; an election official “can’t watch the bits inside,” says Dr. Peter Neumann, the principal scientist at the Computer Science Laboratory of SRI International and a world authority on computer-based risks. The four major election corporations count votes with voting-system source codes. These are kept strictly secret by contract with the local jurisdictions and states using the machines. That secrecy makes it next to impossible for a candidate to examine the source code used to tabulate his or her own contest. In computer jargon a “trapdoor” is an opening in the code through which the program can be corrupted. David Stutsman, an Indiana lawyer whose suits in the 1980s exposed a trapdoor that was being used by the nation’s largest election company at that time, puts it well: “The secrecy of the ballot has been turned into the secrecy of the vote count.” According to Dr. David Dill, professor of computer science at Stanford, all elections conducted on DREs “are open to question.” Challenging those who belittle the danger of fraud, Dill says that with trillions of dollars at stake in the battle for control of Congress and the presidency, potential attackers who might seek to fix elections include “hackers, candidates, zealots, foreign governments and criminal organizations,” and “local officials can’t stop it.” Last fall during a public talk on “The Voting Machine War” for advanced computerscience students at Stanford, Dill asked, “Why am I always being asked to prove these systems aren’t secure? The burden of proof ought to be on the vendor. You ask about the hardware. ‘Secret.’ The software? ‘Secret.’ What’s the cryptography? ‘Can’t tell you because that’ll compromise the secrecy of the machines.’… Federal testing procedures? ‘Secret’! Results of the tests? ‘Secret’! Basically we are required to have blind faith.” The integrity of the vote-counting inside DREs depends on audit logs and reports they print out, but as Neumann says, these are “not real audit trails” because they are themselves riggable. The DREs randomly store three to seven complete sets of alleged duplicates of each voter’s ballot, and sets of these images can be printed out after the election and manually counted. The companies claim that satisfies the requirement in the 2002 Help America Vote Act (HAVA) that “a manual audit capacity” must be available. But as informed computer scientists unanimously agree, if the first set of ballot images is corrupted, they all are. I asked Robert Boram, the chief engineer who invented a DRE sold by the RF Shoup voting-systems company, if he could rig his DRE’s three sets of ballot images. “Give me a month,” he replied. The United States therefore faces the likelihood that about three out of ten of the votes in the national election this November will be unverifiable, unauditable and unrecountable. The private election companies and local and state election officials, when required to carry out recounts of elections conducted inside the DREs, will order the computers to spit out second printouts of the vote totals and the computers’ wholly electronic, fakable “audit trail.” The companies and most of the election officials will then tell the voters that the second printouts are “recounts” that prove the vote-counting was “100 percent accurate,” even though a second printout is not a recount. HAVA was supposed to solve election problems revealed in 2000; instead, it has made the situation worse. Under the act the Election Assistance Commission (EAC), appointed by President Bush, is supposed to set standards for the vote-counting process, but four months before the election the new agency had only seven full-time staff members. On June 17 the EAC sent $861 million to twenty-five states, mainly to buy computerized machines for which no new technical standards have been set. Its just-appointed fifteenmember technical standards committee does not include more than one leading critic of computerized vote-counting. Rather than completely testing the vote-counting codes, there is some secretive testing of systems by three private companies that are chosen by the pro-voting-business National Association of State Election Directors. The companies consult obsolete pro-company and completely voluntary standards promulgated by the Federal Election Commission and get paid by the very companies whose equipment is being tested. The three private companies, speciously called Independent Testing Authorities, together constitute a Potemkin village to falsely assure the states and the voters of the security of the systems. Often their work is misrepresented as “federal testing.” The states then test and “certify” the systems, and the local jurisdictions put on dog-and-pony-show “logic and accuracy tests,” which are not capable of discovering hidden codes that would change vote totals. “The system is much more out of control than anyone here may be willing to admit,” Dr. Michael Shamos, a computer scientist at Carnegie-Mellon University and for many years an examiner of voting machines for Texas and Pennsylvania, told a House panel on June 24. “There’s virtually no control over how software enters a voting machine.” Shamos told another House panel on July 20, “There are no adequate standards for voting machines, nor any effective testing protocols.” Hackable computer codes control vote-counting in all three kinds of computerized systems that will be used again in the 2004 elections: the ballotless DREs, on which some 36 million will vote; optical-scan systems that electronically tally paper ballots marked by the voters, on which 40 million people will vote; and punch-card ballots, also tabulated by computerized card-readers, which gained notoriety in 2000 and are still used by 22 million voters. (Another 16 million still vote on the old lever machines, about a million on hand-counted paper ballots.) Florida 2000 was universally misunderstood and mischaracterized in the press as a crisis of hanging chads on the punch-card ballots. The serious issue, then as now, was embodied in the explicit though all but unreported position that James Baker, George W. Bush’s field commander in Florida, staked out to stop the recounting of votes. The computerized vote-counting systems, Baker declared, are “precision machinery” that both count and recount votes more accurately than people do. Now, with Senator Kerry demanding recountability, an ominously intensifying partisan split has developed in Washington over whether to have a voter-verified paper trail and, when necessary, to conduct recounts with it. Torment in Washington Though no broad citizens’ movement has formed against computerized vote-counting, a nationwide backlash against unverifiable paperless voting has. The paper ballots used in the op-scan and punch-card systems already provide a voter-verified paper audit trail (VVPAT). The principal proposed security safeguard for the DRE system was invented, but not patented, ten years ago by computer scientist Rebecca Mercuri, now a research fellow at Harvard. In her solution, after voters record their choices on the touch-screen, they confirm them on a paper ballot that appears under glass and then push a button to cast the vote, causing the machine to deposit the paper ballot in a box that will hold it for recounting if that is ordered. The printer for the paper ballots for each voting machine should cost about $50; the total add-on could be $300-$600. Many jurisdictions also have the alternative of expanding or acquiring the relatively inexpensive optical-scan systems or other systems already in place that create paper trails. In the US Senate seven Democrats and the one Independent are co-sponsoring a bill by Senators Bob Graham and Hillary Clinton to require paper trails on DREs by November, with a loophole for jurisdictions whose officials deem it to be technologically impossible. Clinton told the press that without a voter-verified paper trail GOP-leaning corporations might program voting machines to help Republicans steal elections [see sidebar, page 16]. In an interview in his hideaway office in the Capitol, Graham told me that he regards his and Clinton’s bill as so obviously needed that it’s “a no-brainer.” The absence of a paper trail on the DREs could endanger “the legitimacy” of November’s election, Graham said. New Jersey Democrat Rush Holt introduced a House bill more than a year ago requiring a paper trail on DREs. It has 149 co-sponsors, including a few prominent Republicans. Holt says, “The verification has to be something that the voter herself or himself has to do”; without that, “we will never have a truly secure election.” Holt’s bill has opened up a partisan divide in the House. The chairman of the committee to which his bill is assigned, Ohio Republican Bob Ney, informed Holt that he is against the bill and would not allow a hearing on it. A few days later Graham and Holt wrote their fellow members of Congress that “without an independent, voter-verified paper trail, we will be able only to guess whether votes are accurately counted.” Last month Ney relented and scheduled two hearings. Holt plans to offer his bill as an amendment to the Treasury appropriation after Congress returns from its August recess. Graham is still mulling his strategy. The principal stated objection to a DRE paper trail comes from some spokespersons for the disabled, who characterize it as a step back from the touch-screen’s improved accessibility and privacy. Many election officials, whose work paper ballots make both auditable and much more extensive, object variously that the attachment will add costs, that the printers might fail and that paper ballots can be stolen or counterfeited and sometimes produce somewhat different totals. Leading citizen organizations have been split. Initially the League of Women Voters, concerned to minimize invalidly cast ballots, opposed the paper trail, but there was a revolt in the chapters and a petition for the paper trail was signed by 800 members. At the league’s June convention, after a fight led by Barbara Simons, past president of the Association of Computer Machinery, the league switched sides, endorsing voting systems that are “recountable.” Common Cause, placing the highest value on insuring that every vote is counted and can be recounted if necessary, has been among the leaders of the fight for the paper trail. Around the States Not surprisingly, the starkest resistance to the voter-verified paper trail comes from Florida, where more than half the citizens will have to vote on touch-screen systems in November. The President’s brother, Governor Jeb Bush, and Jeb’s Secretary of State, Glenda Hood, express unqualified confidence in the trustworthiness of the DRE systems and militantly oppose providing a paper-ballot trail for them. Hood has denied that the electronic voting machines can be tampered with in the software, saying: “The touchscreen machines are not computers. You’d have to go machine by machine, all over the state.” A spokeswoman for her says flatly that “a manual recount is unnecessary.” This past spring a powerful state senator proposed to make it illegal to recount votes in the DRE systems, but she backed down when called on it by activists. Then Ed Kast, director of Hood’s division of elections, who has since resigned, sought to achieve the same purpose by diktat, issuing a formal ruling that, despite the extant state law requiring recounts under certain circumstances, supervisors of elections do not need to recount DRE ballots. The ACLU and other groups have sued to invalidate that ruling; a spokesperson for the state Republican Party excoriates the suit as a left-wingers’ “ploy to undermine voters’ confidence.” Representative Robert Wexler, a Democrat from the southern tier of the three big counties on the Atlantic, which for election scandals is to Florida what Cook County is to Illinois, sued state and county election officials in state and federal court to require the VVPAT on DREs. He argues that allowing some voters to have manual recounts but not others violates the Supreme Court decision in Bush v. Gore compelling equal treatment of voters (although the majority specified it was only for that election). To date his suits, opposed at every step by the Bush Administration in Tallahassee, have gotten nowhere. If he loses, half the voters in Florida, those voting on DREs, will be denied the manual recounts that the other half can have. The Bush forces in Florida geared up for another purge of released felons from the voter rolls. Ion Sancho, supervisor of elections for Leon County, admits with shame that the state’s felon purge in 2000 resulted in more than 50,000 legal voters being disenfranchised. The state elections division identified 47,000 more suspected felons, a list disproportionately heavy with blacks, and asked that local election supervisors purge them. The Bush people refused to make the list public, but were ordered to do so by a judge. Only then was it discovered that the list excluded felons who are Hispanic. In Florida Hispanics tend to vote Republican. This dandy error was “absolutely unintentional,” the Bush people said–while abandoning the then indefensible list. Miami Herald columnist Jim Defede wrote that Hood–an “amazing incompetent or the leader of a frightening conspiracy”–must resign. “What are we going to do if there’s a close race?” Wexler asked in theOrlando Sentinel. “The voting records of these machines will have disappeared in cyberspace.” He told me angrily: “Apparently their motives are to suppress the vote in Florida in a number of different ways. They are refusing a paper trail on a computerized voting machine. They are again preparing on the felons–they’ve got a new and improved process. I don’t trust ’em to do the right thing.” This summer, Representative Alcee Hastings, whose district includes Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, exclaimed, “Any way we cut it, these people are going to try to steal this election.” The Miami-Dade Reform Coalition asked Jeb Bush to audit the touch-screen machines this summer. Bush’s spokesperson rebuffed that as “an accusation du jour.” Undeterred, Democratic US Senator Bill Nelson of Florida demanded, “Why not do an audit when so much is at stake?… The national election for President could ride on the results coming out of Florida.” Senator Nelson even sent a letter to Attorney General John Ashcroft asking that the federal government audit the machines. This past spring in California, Diebold systems malfunctioned in two counties, disenfranchising thousands of voters. Secretary of State Kevin Shelley discovered that the voting systems in seventeen counties in the state had not been certified, as required by law. After two days of tumultuous hearings in Sacramento, during which high-level election officials called the company’s behavior “despicable” and accused its officials of lying, Shelley prohibited the use of Diebold’s systems in four counties, the first time this has happened in the United States. Shelley, who has said to the Los Angeles Times that he doesn’t want to be “the Katherine Harris of the West Coast,” also made the certification of voting systems in ten more counties dependent on their adoption of twenty-three security improvements that he specified. One of these requires those counties to let citizens vote on paper if they want to, but Shelley flinched at requiring a DRE paper trail this year. Four counties and advocates of the disabled sued Shelley to block his actions, but a federal judge ruled he had the authority and had used it reasonably. Two secretaries of state, Republicans Dean Heller in Nevada and Matt Blunt in Missouri, have required that DREs in their states have a voter-verified paper ballot for the November election. Sequoia is producing the Mercuri VVPAT on demand for Nevada, and several small election companies, including Avante and AccuPoll, have built Mercuri attachments, won their certification and are ready to sell them to local jurisdictions now. Among the thirty-one other states with DRE voting systems in some of their jurisdictions, as of early summer legislatures in five had rejected requiring the paper trail, another nine were considering such a requirement and seventeen had no such proposal before them. In swing-state Ohio, under procedures approved by Republican Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, thirty-one counties decided they would not use paperless DREs in November, and three said they would. Blackwell then ruled that because of unsolved security problems, none of them will. In Maryland, which imposed Diebold DREs statewide in 2002, the Board of Elections ruled that paper ballots cast in the March primary by citizens who did not want to vote on the DREs would not be counted. That’s now in the courts. The Campaign for Verifiable Voting presented 13,000 signatures for a paper trail and called for the resignation of the state elections chief, Linda Lamone, who, sitting tight, said, “I think everything is going to be just fine.” In Texas, Representative Ciro Rodriguez, chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, was renominated by 150 votes until 419 “found votes” made challenger Henry Cuellar the winner. Rodriguez is contesting the outcome, but since the voting in Bexar County (San Antonio) was conducted on DREs, the votes there can’t be recounted. “There’s no paper trail to verify what was put in,” Cuellar said. A paper trail will not assure that elections won’t be stolen in the DREs. “The only thing the VVPAT will do is give us the ability to prove that it happened,” says Roxanne Jekot of Cumming, Georgia, a self-taught computer specialist who has become one of the most effective activists against paperless computerized voting. “There is nothing to deter that single outsourced information-technology worker [from manipulating the machine]. Nobody can prove that he did it.” Many states require recounts if an outcome in a computer-counted race is within a margin of less than 1 percent or a half or quarter percent, but that invites crooked programmers, if any such be at work, to jimmy their rigged outcomes to fall outside the recounttriggering spreads. Furthermore, a paper trail isn’t an audit unless the ballots are recounted. Even before the advent of touch-screen systems, obtaining actual recounts of elections was becoming more difficult. Election officials, election companies and state laws have often combined to block recounts or discourage narrowly losing candidates from getting them. Incredibly, in 2002 the legislature in Nebraska, the home state of Election Systems & Software, outlawed recounts of the paper ballots in the ES&S optical-scan computerized ballotcounting systems that tally 85 percent or so of the votes in that state. Colorado requires that for elections conducted on DRE machines, recounts must be conducted on the very same machines. In Alabama two years ago, during a controversy over an election for governor conducted mostly on op-scan machines, Attorney General Bill Pryor, backing up the sheriff in one questioned county, ruled officially that under state law anyone recounting the ballots would be subject to arrest. This year President Bush, circumventing Senate hearings, elevated Pryor to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals in a recess appointment. ‘It’s Really a Matter of Trust’ Confident, friendly, but officious, Jesse Durazo, the registrar of voters of Santa Clara County in the heart of the Silicon Valley, is typical of hundreds of local election officials who berate “the academics.” This past spring, despite dire warnings from Professors Neumann of SRI and Dill of Stanford, Durazo led his county into buying 5,500 of the Sequoia AVC Edge DREs at $3,000 each ($20 million, figuring in everything). The anteroom of his county election headquarters is festooned with cheery signs such as one saying Voting Just Got Easier. He is delighted that DREs will facilitate voting by those who speak a foreign language (including Spanish, Vietnamese and Chinese). Durazo said that the AVC had first been approved by the federal government (which is not correct) and then certified by the California secretary of state. He said that providing a voter-verified ballot would open the way to “unlimited error,” while computer error, in contrast, can be “quantified.” As for Trojan horses smuggling in corrupt instructions, he said in a confident tone, “I don’t have those fears.” Stealing votes in the computers is next to impossible, he insisted, because local ballots are set up at the last minute, there are a large number of races and ballot initiatives in any one election, and the order of the candidates’ positions on the ballots is rotated in different precincts. The three sets of all the votes, kept in the computer, provide the recount, he said. Are those not just copies of each other, automatically made? Durazo exclaimed in high dudgeon: “It’s a redundant perfection!… It starts with the premise that the information in the system is correct.” Alfred Gonzales, Durazo’s Filipino outreach specialist for voters who speak Tagalog, demonstrated the AVC, a sign on the top of which said Try It Out Today. No More Punchcards! I voted on it and asked Gonzales how I knew for sure that my vote would be counted. “Because it will be registered in the machine, saved in the hard drive, and put on a cartridge,” he said. “At the end of the day it will be in the printout of the total.” How did he know the machine would do that? “Because it has been federally certified!” he said. “There is fool-proof security.” Well, one more thing, I asked. There’s no ballot– what if you need a recount? “It’s really a matter of trusting the machine,” Gonzales said. Patting the AVC gently, he intoned with pride, “It’s really a matter of trust.” “These companies are basically saying ‘trust us,'” Rebecca Mercuri told theNew York Times. “Why should anybody trust them? That’s not the way democracy is supposed to work.” Douglas Kellner, a leader on the New York City Board of Elections, exclaimed at a meeting of computer specialists in Berkeley this past spring, “I think the word ‘trust’ ought to be banned from election administration!” Dr. Avi Rubin, computer science professor and technical director of the Information Security Institute at Johns Hopkins University, recently testified before the federal Election Assistance Commission, “The vendors, and many election officials, such as those in Maryland and Georgia, continue to insist that the machines are perfectly secure. I cannot fathom the basis for their claims. I do not know of a single computer security expert who would testify that these machines are secure.” Mercuri wrote in her dissertation on vote-counting in 2001 that “security flaws (such as Trojan horse attacks)…are possible in all of the computer-based voting systems” and that providing thorough examinations of source code and other circuits for DREs that vary from municipality to municipality “is a Herculean task–one that is likely not to be affordable, even if it were accomplishable.” Not all the scientists agree. Michael Shamos of Carnegie-Mellon, who once warned that computerized vote-counting is highly vulnerable to fraud, now takes the position that “the issue is not whether voting systems are absolutely secure, but whether they present barriers sufficiently formidable to give us confidence in the integrity of our elections.” Voting Machines Stolen in Georgia In 2000 five out of six Georgians cast a paper ballot that could be recounted on ES&S systems. In January 2001, in a speech to the Democratic-controlled legislature, Georgia Secretary of State Cathy Cox, a Democrat who is expected to run for governor in 2006, declared that considering all the recent problems down in Florida, Georgia should adopt one “uniform electronic voting system by November 2004.” Upon Cox’s fervent recommendation of the just-born Diebold Election Systems, in May 2002 Georgia agreed to pay Diebold $54 million for 19,000 DRE voting systems. The counties and cities of Georgia had chosen their own voting machines for the last time, and, less obviously, Georgians had lost their ability to recount their votes in contested elections. At once Diebold set to manufacturing 282 of its AccuVote TS voting systems a day. Some of the earliest ones arriving in Georgia, sent out for use in the training of election workers, were left in a hotel conference room overnight, stolen and never recovered. Late that June the secret vote-counting codes inside nine to fourteen more of the Diebold machines were stolen. Diebold made an uncounted number of apparently illegal changes in the election-conducting code between June and November. The memory cards on which the votes on each of the computers were recorded on election day all over Georgia had no encryption. According to Rob Behler, who served as Diebold’s production deployment manager in Georgia during the first half of that summer, those cards could be used to change the results manually, precinct by precinct. Incumbent US Senator Max Cleland and incumbent Governor Roy Barnes, both Democrats, were odds-on favorites to win re-election. A week before the voting an Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll showed Cleland ahead by five points, 49-44, but on election day he lost to his Republican opponent, Saxby Chambliss, by seven points, 5346, a twelve-point swing. The loss of Governor Barnes to Sonny Perdue was even more remarkable: a one-week switch of fourteen percentage points. These were suspicious anomalies, and subsequently in a Peach State Poll one in eight Georgia voters were “not very confident” or “not at all confident” that the DREs had produced accurate results; another 32 percent were only “somewhat confident.” In his front parlor at home in Georgia, Rob Behler told me that just before or just as he took over the Atlanta warehouse for Diebold, some of the voting machines had been sent out to “do demos,” and in one southern county “somebody broke in and stole…[nine or] fourteen of the machines and, I think, one of the servers.” He says the vote-counting programs in the stolen computers could have been completely reconstructed by reverse engineering and employed to jimmy the election. “Quality-checking” the AccuVote machines as they arrived from Diebold at a warehouse in Atlanta, Behler and his crew found problems, he says, with “every single one” of them and about a fifth of them were shoved aside as unusable. When Diebold’s programmers wanted “patches,” that is, changes, inserted into the voting-system software, Behler says, they sent them to him via the company’s open, insecure File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site in cyberspace. On his own unsecured laptop (resting on his desk as he spoke), Behler made twenty-two or twenty-three of the cards that were used to change the programs in the machines. The night of the November 2002 election, sixty-seven of the memory cards used in Fulton County (Atlanta) disappeared. Running his laptop with a dual battery, Behler says, in six or seven hours he could have changed the totals on those sixty-seven cards. “There’s no technical problem. There was absolutely zero protection on the card itself. You throw the card in, you just drill down into its files.” Brit Williams, a computer consultant at Kennesaw State University who runs Georgia’s testing of voting systems, confirmed to me that the memory cards were not encrypted and all had the same password (1111), but each one, he contended, was “unique to its machine.” He snapped, “We had 22,000 voting stations. How would you like to be in charge of 22,000 passwords?” Williams said the sixty-seven missing memory cards in Atlanta had been left in the machines by forgetful workers and were recovered. The Georgia election of 2002 illustrates how serious risks of technical malfunctions and malicious tampering can occur without anyone outside the voting business finding out about them. No doubt in part because of the hasty start-up, Diebold’s “security,” though approved by the independent testing authorities and the state, was in fact farcical. Both of the losing Democrats had backed installation of the DRE systems statewide, so they could hardly call for recounts that their own state party had made literally impossible. The Kids Prick Open a Scandal Some kids who are “really interested in computers” were playing around last year, spidering through the links on various websites, when they discovered that Diebold had an unsecured FTP site (the same one Behler had used). One of the boys noted the fact on his website. Some other material on that site–not the stuff about Diebold–attracted a lot of hits, and that automatically led Google, the cyberspace search engine, to position it among the early-listed sites for many searches. One day Bev Harris, a literary publicist in Washington who was doing research for a book on vote-counting in computers, fed Google the right search words and the FTP site itself popped up. Knowing little about computers, she turned to David Allen, who was publishing her book, and he recognized the openly posted source codes and much other data concerning Diebold voting machines. A small group of activists in Georgia worked with Harris. One of them, Roxanne Jekot, who runs a software consulting firm, analyzed “almost every line” of the Diebold source code and found many ways to change vote totals there and also in the Microsoft operating code. “The software is totally junk,” she says. “They sold vaporware.” Determined to get peer review of what she was finding, Jekot approached David Dill, the Stanford computer science professor. “Both Roxanne and Bev were very courageous and determined to lift the veil of secrecy on the code,” Dill says. “I think most academics would be much more cautious, especially about publishing the fact that they looked at the code. I certainly was, and I wasn’t about to get other people in trouble by asking them to help me. A number of us would be inclined to talk to lawyers before doing anything too bold. So it made a huge difference that Bev posted the code in New Zealand for everyone to download. That reduced but didn’t eliminate the legal risks of the Johns Hopkins/Rice University people looking at the code. If Bev and whoever else was involved in releasing this code had not been so brave, people [with strong professional reputations] might not have been able to speak out so freely.” After some agreements on a division of roles, Avi Rubin of Johns Hopkins and three other scientists produced a devastating twenty-three-page exposure of the Diebold software. That was followed by two more damaging technical studies in Ohio. Then a “Red Team” exercise to break the Diebold code was staged at RABA Technologies’ headquarters in Maryland. Four of the eight computer scientists on the team had worked at the National Security Agency, and the team director had been the senior technical director for the NSA. The team concluded, “A voter can be deceived into thinking he is voting for one candidate when, in fact, the software is recording the vote for another candidate.” A security vulnerability “allows a remote attacker to get complete control of the machine.” And one can “automatically upload malicious software” that will “modify or delete elections.” Some kids sniffing around in cyberspace had led, step by step, to the dawning national realization that computerized vote-counting puts democracy in grave danger. What You Can Do Public interest groups are mobilizing to head off another Florida. Petitions calling for a paper trail for DREs have attracted something approaching half a million signatures. Lou Dobbs’s quick poll on CNN on “paper receipts of electronic votes” was running 5,735 to 85 for them on July 20. Greg Palast and Martin Luther King III have more than 80,000 signatures on their petition against paperless touch-screens and the purging of voter rolls. Global Exchange, the San Francisco-based organization, is inviting twenty-eight nonpartisan foreign observers to monitor the US election. Eleven members of Congress asked Kofi Annan to send UN monitors. Cindy Cohn of the Electronic Frontier Foundation is organizing attorneys for litigation against paperless electronic voting. In mid-June the California secretary of state approved the nation’s first set of standards for a verified paper trail for touch-screen machines. A recent “Voting, Vote Capture and Vote Counting” symposium at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government has produced an “Annotated Best Practices,” available at www.ljean.com/files/ABPractices.pdf. On June 29 the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights and the Brennan Center for Justice, with the endorsement of Common Cause, the NAACP, People for the American Way and most of the leading scientific critics of paperless touch-screen voting, sent the nation’s local election officials a “call for new security measures for electronic voting machines,” including local retention of independent security experts; the full report is available atwww.civilrights.org/issues/voting/lccr_brennan_report.pdf. Douglas Kellner, the New York City election expert, believes the best practical remedy for the dangers of computerized vote-counting is voting on optical-scan systems, posting the election results in the precincts and keeping the ballots with the machines in which they were counted. In all computerized vote-counting situations the precinct results should be publicly distributed and posted in the precincts before they are transmitted to the center for final counting, Kellner says. Once they are sent from the precinct the audit trail is lost. Citizens can stay current on election developments via several websites: electionline.org, a reliable and up-to-date source; VerifiedVoting.org, Dill’s group; notablesoftware.com, Mercuri’s site; blackboxvoting.org, Bev Harris’s site; countthevote.org, the site of the Georgia group led by Jekot; and these will key into many others. For a steady flow of news stories on this subject (and a few others) from around the country, get on the e-mail list of [email protected]. Official information concerning each state is available online at each state’s website for its secretary of state. People should go down to their local election departments and ask their supervisor of elections how they are going to know that their votes are counted–and refuse to take “Trust us,” or “Trust the machines,” for an answer. They can be poll watchers. Many organizations are fostering poll watching, including People for the American Way’s Election Protection 2004 project. Common Cause “has made election monitoring a major project,” a spokesperson says. VerifiedVoting.org is concentrating on having people watch election technology, including pre-election testing as well as the procedures on election day. Bev Harris is organizing people to do such work (see her website). Rebecca Mercuri says that if you believe an election has been corrupted through voting equipment, you should collect affidavits from voters; get the results from every voting machine for all precincts; get the names and titles of everyone involved; inventory the equipment, including the software, and try to have it impounded; demand a recount; and go to the press. Noting that all counties that have rushed to purchase DRE voting systems also have paper-ballot systems in place to handle absentee voters, motor-voters and emergency ballots for when the system breaks down, she suggests mothballing the DREs and using paper ballots. “Counties are saying there’s nothing they can do but use the DREs in November, and that is simply untrue,” Mercuri declares. Much of this would be unnecessary if Congress enacted either the Graham-Clinton or the Holt bill, which would empower voters to verify their own votes and create a paper trail. The computerized voting companies have precipitated a crisis for the integrity of democracy. Three months to go. SIGN UP RELATED UPDATES: FROM THE NATION AND DCCC. YOUR EMAIL WILL REMAIN PRIVATE.

Written by Beth Clarkson on 05 June 2015. Posted in Politics When you do your civic duty, and cast your vote for the various candidates and public propositions at an electronic voting machine, how confident are you that the results will be tabulated honestly? If you feel less than sanguine about it and do a bit of the research to assuage your doubts, be prepared to feel even less confident afterwards. After years of casual research, the results I found have led me to file a lawsuit requesting access to the records needed to perform an audit myself. My statistical analysis shows patterns indicative of vote manipulation in machines. The manipulation is relatively small, compared with the inherent variability of election results, but it is consistent. These results form a pattern that goes across the nation and back a number of election cycles. I’ve downloaded data and verified the results from several states for myself. Furthermore, the manipulation is not limited to a single powerful operator. My assessment is that the data reveals multiple (at least two) agents working independently to successfully alter voting results. What convinced me that vote fraud is possible? For me, it started with the 2004 Ohio presidential election. In 2005 I obtained and examined that data and it confirmed what other statisticians had said – that the results were highly suspicious. The official report from the congressional hearing on that election describes it as 'the abuse and manipulation of electronic voting machines and the arbitrary and illegal behavior of a number of elected and election officials which effectively disenfranchised tens of thousands of voters in order to change the outcome of an election.' For a thorough assessment, I recommend reading 'Post-Election Audits: Restoring Trust in Elections' published by the Brennan Center for Justice which includes a lengthy appendix of various well documented voting equipment problems. The audit in my county (Sedgwick, Kansas) that I wish to perform is similar to those recommended in this report. Currently, my county does not perform any sort of post-election verification of voting machine results, not even for recounts. I know because I requested such a recount after the November 2014 election. That request was denied. The voting machine software used is proprietary and even the election officials are not allowed to inspect it. This is termed Black Box Voting and combined with Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) voting, which permits touchscreen machines and does not require a paper trail allows a situation ripe for exploitation. In addition, as Harper’s Magazine reported in 2012, the security of these machines is so lax that: 'As recently as September 2011, a team at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory hacked into one of Diebold’s old Accuvote touchscreen systems. Their report asserted that anyone with $26 in parts and an eighth-grade science education would be able to manipulate the outcome of an election….Johnston’s group also breached a system made by another industry giant, Sequoia, using the same “man in the middle” hack - a tiny wireless component that is inserted between the display screen and the main circuit board - which requires no knowledge of the actual voting software.' Also, there’s the fact that the polls are red-shifted (where there is systematic biasing toward Republican candidates) and have been for several election cycles. This is routinely assumed to be due to Republicans being less likely to answer pollsters, but there is no empirical justification for it. It’s used by polling organizations in their models in order to more accurately predict official results. What convinced me to take action was a paper titled ‘Primary Election Results Amazing Statistical Anomalies’ by Francois Choquette and James Johnson. After analyzing the same elections (which I downloaded myself from various state government sites) and confirming Choquette and Johnson's results, I had to try and do something about the problem. The data I’ve analyzed supports their hypothesis that we have a serious pervasive and systematic problem with electronic voting machines. The results of my analysis Here are the results for three different elections, all occurring after the Choquette and Johnson paper was published, all three conform to their predictions: the 2012 Ohio presidential race, the 2014 Wisconsin gubernatorial race and the 2014 Kansas Senate elections. If there is no significant interaction between voting precinct size and %Republican (%R) vote (our null hypothesis), then we expect no significant slope to the ratio of the cumulative sums of Republican votes to total votes cast for sufficiently large n. While there will be considerable variation in the initial terms of the summation, as n grows large, the ratio will converge to the true proportion p, which I express as a percent1. Put another way, if the variation is randomly distributed across all precinct sizes, then the law of large numbers ensures that the sample proportion will quickly approach the true proportion. However, if there is a relationship where the larger precincts have a larger %R votes, this will show up as a positive slope in the cumulative ratios of the two sums. If the inverse relationship holds, we will see a negative slope in the cumulative ratios. This formulation could be extended to multiple races. Elections in non-overlapping jurisdictions would be independent under the null, while multiple races with overlapping jurisdictions would need more careful computation. In this model, %R will converge quickly to p if the variable on the x-axis is randomly distributed. If it does not converge for a given sequence (such as precinct size), that indicates that you have located a signal amidst even a large amount of noise. Graphing the cumulative percentage versus the cumulative votes ordered by precinct size allows a quick visual inspection to look for a suspicious trend. The graph below shows the cumulative votes (x-axis) by %R (y-axis) model for three different races in three different states. There is an expectation that %R vote will go down with the size of the precincts due to the association of rural districts with the %R vote. These trends are clear in the data. For the concern regarding voting machine manipulation, I restricted the visual inspection to the right half of the graph showing the larger precincts associated with higher density population centers. This truncation of the data eliminates the confounding effect of rural districts which are expected to have both a higher %R vote and smaller precincts in terms of number of votes cast. In all three cases, there is an indication of an upward trend as we get to the largest precincts. The downward trend on the left of zero to approximately 600,000 to 800,000 cumulative votes is expected and appropriate. The upward trend on the right is the pattern that concerns me. It shouldn’t be there at all. But such a pattern would be expected under the hypothesis of vote fraud proposed in the Choquette and Johnson paper. Given that the signal exists, another approach to demonstrating this is by simple linear regression restricted to precincts with more than 500 votes cast. When separated out by machine type, the evidence for vote fraud by machine or software sabotage is compelling. My results for the three elections are broken out by machine type for the top five voting systems. Wisconsin 2014 gubernatorial race results Wisconsin has three voting systems which show a statistically significant positive linear relationship between the two variables. In this graph, look at the green line. It’s approximately what I expect when there is no effect attributable to the number of votes cast. The green line is the result of the precincts with ‘none’ listed as their primary voting machine equipment and either Dominion (Sequoia) or Command Central-Edge for the ADA voting. It does not have a statistically significant linear relationship between the number of votes cast and %R. The voting systems represented by the three red lines all show a statistically significant effect for a linear regression analysis with votes cast being the independent variable and %R the dependent variable. These lines all demonstrate a clear upward trend on the right. The purple line doesn’t show a similar trend and doesn’t have a statistically significant effect for a linear regression analysis. Ohio 2012 presidential results Four of the five voting systems shown have statistically significant linear trends. The voting system represented by the green line in the center is the only system in large scale use that does not confirm such a trend. The voting systems represented by the two red lines both show statistically significant linear positive linear relationships for %R with votes cast. The voting systems represented by the two blue lines both show statistically significant linear negative linear relationships for %R with votes cast. The different systems show different patterns, which I interpret as representing different scales or types of manipulation. In short, the evidence supports a theory of multiple (minimum two) independent parties affecting various voting systems to rig the election in their preferred direction. Ohio had a plethora of different systems in use, but none of the voting systems not shown had a statistically significant relationship. Kansas 2014 Senate race The two red lines show an upward trend on the graph and have a statistically significant linear relationship between the %R vote and the total votes cast. The three brown lines do not. I want to emphasize, as I always try to do, that statistics don’t prove vote fraud. These statistics show that patterns exist in the data that correlate the type of electronic voting system in use with the %R vote changing with the total votes cast. Such patterns are examples of what we might expect to see if some voting systems were being sabotaged, but that doesn’t mean that no other explanations are possible for these patterns. Voting machine manipulation is, in my opinion, the most likely explanation for these patterns. The most common pattern supports Republican candidates, but Democratic candidates are sometimes the beneficiary. The only way to prove vote fraud is through a post-election audit demonstrating significant deviations from the reported totals. That is what I want to see done. It is also recommended by experts in voting integrity, including 'The American Voting Experience: Report and Recommendations of the Presidential Commission on Election Administration' published in 2014. Footnotes I encourage others to download election results datasets from the various state governments and check my results and check other elections to see if this pattern holds. If anyone does this, would you please contact me? I would appreciate knowing my errors if I have made any. If I agree with your finding, I will update my tables and graphs to the correct values.

I am watching this topic with great interest. One question I had was, where are you obtaining vote data on such a granular level such that you can use # of cumulative votes as a dimension? All of the publicly available election data I've seen from various sources so far only seem to have the final totals, not snapshots along the way. Maybe I just don't know where to look for that level of detail? Or is it only available by special request? Or, were you taking snapshots of the available data as the election progressed? thanks! about 10 months ago 0 LikeShare Guest - Andrew PERMALINK If I understand your post correctly, I think there is a problem with the interpretation of the data. I believe you are trying to suggest that precincts with larger populations should have voting percentages, with perhaps room for an outlier or two or three, that trend very closely to the state-wide percentages for each party within the state. This is the aforementioned "law of large numbers" that "ensures that the sample proportion will quickly approach the true proportion" as the size of the sample proportion increases. So, since Scott Walker won 52.3% of the vote in 2014, then in the biggest handful of districts he should have won approximately that percentage of the vote, and as you look at districts in increasing order of size, the trend should be that the result in each individual precinct should get closer and closer to the state-wide result. On first glance, you would have appeared to have discovered an important anomaly with this data, because Walker's percentages start trending up after a certain point as the precincts get bigger - suggesting that something is amiss. The implication is that his number in each successively larger precinct gets further and further away - because it gets larger - from his "true" percentage, his state-wide number. What is hidden here, and what severely undermines your point, is that - YES - Scott Walker's percentage in each precinct does in fact get larger as the size of the precinct increases, after we pass the 600,000 to 800,000 vote threshold - but that is because it is RECOVERING from being below where his state-wide number was (he is down around 50% in the 1.2M range) to just about exactly 52.5% by the time we get to the biggest precincts (up around the 2.5M range). Now, I hate Scott Walker, and I hope he wakes up every morning to find that his dog, if he has one, has pooped his bed, and I do find it curious that, looking at the data you chart here, apparently NO precinct recorded Walker taking in less than 50% of the vote (I've been to Madison and, having been there, this does not seem possible). But I can't say that the data you present here supports your conclusion, if my analysis is correct. about 11 months ago 0 LikeShare Guest - Matt Harris PERMALINK I fully agree that we need a fool-proof way to make sure votes cast by real people perfectly match the tally that is counted to determine our elections. I also applaud your desire to make data available and to audit it as well as possible without revealing individual people's votes. I also think it's interesting to see some of the machine-specific trends you show. That's a new twist on the results by Choquette and Johnson, which I was also interested to study on my own. One additional piece of data that you don't mention is voter registration data. I was able to reproduce Choquette/Johnson graphs with the election data, but I was able also to show that by looking at the voter registration demographics, the trends in those cumulative voting percentage graphs could be reasonably explained. I have begun to reproduce your plots, starting with the 2014 Kansas Senate race. I see the same trend for data you showed in the first plot above using cumulative fraction of total votes cast that are for the republican candidate, Pat Roberts, when ordered by the total votes cast in each precinct. I downloaded the voter registration data from kssos dot org / elections / elections_registration_voterreg dot asp. Since this data is provided by county, I could only plot the data by county in a similar manner but ordered by number of registered voters in each county. The curve did not match yours, which got me curious, but fortunately the voting data provides not only precinct but also county. When I made the plot for election results by county rather than by precinct the curve matched the voter registration curve very closely. This helped me to realize the reason for the curve upward in republican fraction of the vote for larger precincts - precinct size does not correlate directly with the local population. The largest outlier for the 2014 Kansas senate race was a precinct in MCPHERSON county called McPherson Ward 1 Precinct 1, which had the highest number of votes cast by far, but is in a far less populous county. This precinct cast 1367 republican, 886 independent, and 118 libertarian votes - skewed drastically toward republican. Even though it's the highest vote count precinct (2371 total votes cast), it's in a county that is only ranked 92 out of 105 counties for number of votes cast (10138 county votes). Voter registration records show that Republican registrations make up 60% of the county registrations, which is in close alignment with the votes cast there. There were several additional precincts in smaller counties with higher than normal votes cast that cause the cumulative trend to curve upward when you rank them by number of votes cast in each *precinct*. When ordered by number of votes cast in each *county*, there is a huge dip downward for republicans in the top 5 counties, as expected - 'WYANDOTTE', 'DOUGLAS', 'SHAWNEE', 'SEDGWICK', and 'JOHNSON'. I am not sure if this type of correlation using registration data can be applied to the analysis by voting machine type, but it's possible that certain counties or areas used one manufacturer, and other counties used different manufacturers. I think it is possible, as you admit in your discussion above, that the trends you have observed could be fully explained using correlation with voter registration demographics. Please look into this while you continue to be blocked in gaining access to records in your county. I may take some time to try and work on the Ohio data with the very distinct trend in one specific machine type.

I noticed you focused in on the actual voting machines though, like the Accuvote, and how easy they are to hack. That voting machines are NOT the problem. Any weakness in the voting machines are relatively inconsequential and if anything, serve as a smokescreen. The problem is the central tabulators. The voting machines connect to a tabulator, which is basically just a server running Windows, and the tabulators connect to a central tabulator. On these machines, it is possible to manipulate the database to rig the election, and cover your tracks by modifying the audit log. The implementation model for these voting systems shifts the responsibility for securing the servers properly on the customer. For this reason, the people who run the elections, and are generally not technically savvy, are basically responsible if one could prove that an election was rigged. And that is why those people are resistant to investigations, not because they are the ones who committed the fraud. It's a nice little trick to cover one's tracks. If you would like more information on any of this, feel free to email me. about 12 months ago 0 LikeShare Guest - Drew Miller PERMALINK Worth investigating voting behavior before the installation of those types of machines - maybe suburban counties (which tend to be richer and have republican election officials) are more likely to buy certain kinds of voting equipment? about 1 year ago 0 LikeShare Guest - Jim Riley PERMALINK In Kansas, Clarkson overlooks that the largest precincts tend to be in more suburban areas. Because these areas are more Republican, they tend to have higher turnout, which pushes them to the right in her charts. (ie if two precincts have 2000 registered voters, the more Republican-leaning precinct will have more voters still living at the residence that they were registered at (Republicans are more likely to be home owners, married, employed, etc., all factors that lead to greater residential stability). And for the same reasons, they are more likely to actually vote. Precinct sizes are not granular.They require a polling place such as a school. Once established, they are not easily disestablished even if the population declines. The oldest areas of cities were developed before there was widespread access to automobiles, so precincts might be based on walking distances. Early suburbs tended to conform to the PLSS, and precincts might be a section or half section. Over time, some older housing stock may be torn down, converted to commercial use, rented, etc., all that lead to fewer voters. Newer suburbs were developed with an assumption of access to a car, for going to the store, school, or voting. If an area is growing, it is easier to add a few more voting machines, than to establish a new polling place. Clarkson could take any of the large Johnson County suburbs and will discover there is a very strong correlation between votes cast and latitude or longitude. She could map the precincts in Sedgwick and Butler counties showing how many votes were cast. about 1 year ago 0 LikeShare Guest - D.

Speaking as an analyst, Binney raised the possibility that the hack of the Democratic National Committee’s server was done not by Russia but by a disgruntled U.S. intelligence worker concerned about Clinton’s compromise of national security secrets via her personal email use. Binney was an architect of the NSA’s surveillance program. He became a famed whistleblower when he resigned on October 31, 2001, after spending more than 30 years with the agency. Binney referenced testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in March 2011 by then-FBI Director Robert S. Mueller in which Meuller spoke of the FBI’s ability to access various secretive databases “to track down known and suspected terrorists.” Stated Binney: “Now what he (Mueller) is talking about is going into the NSA database, which is shown of course in the (Edward) Snowden material released, which shows a direct access into the NSA database by the FBI and the CIA.

Binney referenced testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in March 2011 by then-FBI Director Robert S. Mueller in which Meuller spoke of the FBI’s ability to access various secretive databases “to track down known and suspected terrorists.” Stated Binney: “Now what he (Mueller) is talking about is going into the NSA database, which is shown of course in the (Edward) Snowden material released, which shows a direct access into the NSA database by the FBI and the CIA.
