LawSuit to e-Vict Secret Vote Counting & Hasten Death of DRE's |
DemocracyRescue-LawSuit to e-Vict CorPirate TresPassers, Secret Vote
Counting & Hasten Death of DRE's When it comes to something as fundamental as democracy, the government lacks the power, through contract, to cede that power of vote counting in a democracy to a multinational corporation or to any individual to operate in secret, because vote counting is a public democratic right. It is a public right for which the government has literally never been given the power to give away. The government, plainly and simply, combined with all of the world's corporations, UTTERLY LACK THE POWER to privatize our votes. We ougt not legitimize that privatization in any way by assuming it has any validity, because it is void ab initio (from the beginning). Most importantly, (to put it plainly but crudely) WE DON'T NEED TO PROVE SHIT, THE VOTING MACHINE COMPANIES MUST SIMPLY GET THE HELL OUT of our democracy. Period. UNPRECENDENTED in American history for government to claim, assume Inalienable rights to rig, run, ruin and OWN YOUR LIFE! and help dig your grave ,how are you and WE going to rescue our country and humanity from this dangerous abyss? Lets get real and ON THE BALL, pick it up a notch, for..., We have lost the ability to replace our government by the ballot box, our creation claims they don't need The people's consent anymore.We must talk and act on this affront DAILY. What happened to the AmeriCaN Dream? SORRY-thats classified. Secret Vote Counting Delays OUR Dreams. http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2005/02/310875.shtml ***** Steal Our Vote STEAL OUR Future What is democracy? What is tyranny? Abraham Lincoln said democracy is government of the people, by the people, for the people. History teaches us that whoever conducts an election and counts the votes can also control the outcome. Avoiding fraud requires an open process. If all parties participate and observe, we have the greatest possibility that our election outcomes will express the will of the people. Our November election is suspect precisely because 25-30 percent of the voters used unverifiable electronic systems, and because many states and counties prevented citizens from observing the counting of ballots, handling of tally sheets, etc. Every American is being forced to "trust" that unobserved and invisible procedures -- electronic and otherwise -- were accurate. Widespread charges of fraud are circulating on the internet. Are the charges "bogus?" Are the people behind these charges "conspiracy theorists?" In fact such suspicions are reasonable, given the intentional use of unverifiable computerized election systems even after the problems with them were publicized. The suspicions are realistic, given the widespread secrecy surrounding election operations in many counties and states. Secrecy suggests that something is being hidden. In many counties, tally sheets were not required to be posted in the precinct at the close of voting, ballots and precinct tally sheets were not guarded under multipartisan observation after the close of the election day, and counties have refused to comply with FOIL requests in an open and honest forthcoming manner. When institutions hide what they do, indeed often fraud, stealing, etc. is taking place. Public servants should not only be honest, they must avoid the appearance of dishonesty. This idea is not new. There is no evidence to support or refute charges of fraud, or resolve current suspicions about the November election. This in and of itself weakens our democracy and undermines the legitimacy of the election. A democratic government has only as much legitimacy as the openness and verifiability of its elections. Elections are not a court of law where a defendant is innocent until proven guilty. Elections deal with a broader issue, the legitimacy and credibility of representative democratic government. Secrecy in the procedures of elections, especially vote counting, is a constant when a system of tyranny poses as democracy by holding sham elections. Election directors and Secretaries of State have responded to warnings about unverifiable computerized voting by saying "I will comply with legal requirements." This reduces a democracy argument (democracy requires observability and verifiability) to a legal argument (the law doesn't require openness or verifiability). William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, said (in 1682) that if the people are good, the government will be good. If the people are bad, no form of government will save them from their own evil. He meant, that if those in power make laws that are just (tend toward equal opportunity, equal protection, due process, and openness), the people will thrive. If those in power make laws that are unjust, they can use the same governmental structures and rituals, such as elections, to support tyranny. http://www.wheresthepaper.org/ ***** Who? would rise to defend SecretVote Counting?

Here's a video to help... We've updated the short video compiled by a few Velvet Revolutionaries from Democratic Underground. It is our hope that this video may serve as the definitive record of what happened in American during the 2004 Presidential Election. It documents -- in a few short minutes -- how your American right to a free, fair and transparent electoral system has been taken from you by the cynical and un-democratic powers-that-be. This sort of thing should never happen in the world's most important democracy. And yet -- again in 2004 -- it did. Enough is enough. It's time for the people to take both our country and our democracy back. If you still have any questions about that, please take a look at this video: http://www.velvetrevolution.us/#020505 Americans have died for the Right to Vote. November 2nd, 2004 will serve as a continuing reminder that we still have a long way to go in this country before every American has that right. Please watch the video...And then pass this link... http://www.VelvetRevolution.us#020505 ...to everyone you know so they can remember (or learn) as well! The mainstream media will not be doing it.

ExtremeFundamentalistRegime !!!!!!!!!ExtremeFundamentalistRegime !!!!!!!!!ExtremeFundamentalistRegime ***** **** *** ** ! WARNING: It should be clear that more is at stake than the presidency itself. Use of computerized vote counting will only increase, as mandated by law. Vote counting is the bedrock protocol of a democracy and meaningful reform of a broken counting system is dependent on an expression of public will ultimately exercised at the ballot box and fairly, accurately, and honestly tabulated. If the system has broken down and is no longer counting accurately and honestly, there is no effective democratic mechanism to bring pressure upon a governing majority to reform a vote counting status quo which is seen to work in its favor. This is, as may be seen, a potentially crippling catch-22 for a democracy. *footnotes from statistical proof on examination of vote count data http://www.spiral-stairs.dailykos.com/story/2004/12/30/... explanation of the ease of hackability at end of this post. we are called to RISE to the Rescue and challenge of http://www.thebattleforamerica.com watch! homepage: http://www.solarbus.org/election/index.shtml **** Full report with fantastic paper ballots arguments http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2005/02/310875.shtml county by county The consent of The People MUST be Restored & Democracy RESCUED Not In Our Name will we allow the Earth to remain a bad neighborhood and turned into a global slave plantation cease the stranglehold on Illumination |

4. Governments do have the right to contract with business -- |
They do it all the time.
But it is an interesting philosophical question as to whether something as fundamental as voting should be subject to contract with private companies. If the government has limits on its power to contract, you would think that this would be at the top of the list. |

5. It appears the twelfth amendment might just say that.... |
"The electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;"
If one were to substitute 'the voters' for 'they' (I believe they are using it that way), you could make the argument only voters of that state, should be counting the votes. Hey...but WTF do I know, heh. 8) |

Hastening the Death of DRE'$ - CounTy, by CounTy by financiaLLy-$trapped COUNTy
Paul Lehto radio interview with Mike McCormick KEXP archived mp3 http://www.radio4all.net/index.php?op=program-info&prog... Going to listen as soon as it's finished downloading! WE CHOOSE !-in the nOOze Monday, February 07, 2005 A vote for "fusion tyranny" I had rather hoped that when I resumed blogging, I would be able to speak about something other than vote fraud. But the news keeps piling up... Snohomish County: This new analysis has implications that go far beyond the region under scrutiny. The authors are Paul R. Leto, an attorney who served on the Board of Governors of his state's Bar Association, and Jeffrey Hoffman, Ph.D., a physicist. Neither writer is a statistician (a fact which rightists will no doubt seize upon), although Hoffman seems to have a good grasp of that discipline and they had input from a professional mathematician. Their argument speaks for itself. Analysis of voting pattern show that Sequoia touch-screen votes heavily favored one party (guess which) while optical scan votes favored the other; no other variable seems to account for the discrepancy. Sequoia's managers, you will recall, have been accused (and in one case, convicted) of bribery of public officials. The Leto/Hoffman paper makes a number of other pertinent points. I'll note but four: 1. Machines which recently had their CPUs "repaired" (how the devil do you repair a CPU?) developed a mysterious tendency to spew out Republican votes. (Note: The authors may have confused the terms "CPU" and "motherboard" in a section of their paper.) 2. Touch screen voting was supposed to help eradicate undervoting, yet undervoting remained four times the national average in minority districts of New Mexico using the technology. 3. The low rate of undervoting in Snohomish County may be connected to the numerous reports of "pre-selections" for Bush. (And that, in turn, may be connected to point 1, above.) 4. Sequoia requires -- for no reason I can discern -- that its machines have their power cords daisy chained. Is it possible to transmit data through the power line? In a word: Yes. Sequoia's enigmatic insistence on plugging the machines into the juice in a certain way may indicate the presence of a hidden network. That last point has boggling possibilities. Even if we make sure that no election machine contains a modem, how can we be sure that outsiders aren't "talking" to the computers using this covert route? If the devices are plugged in, manipulators can plug in to their data. Even if the machine, as originally designed, does not contain internal devices capable of transmitting and receiving data via the power cord, such a device can be easily installed during "repairs." Shelley: People are starting to catch on to the possibility that California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley was railroaded out of office because of his staunch opposition to Diebold and touch screen voting. (If you haven't read the post below, you may want to do so now.) We now have a sample letter of protest, which contains a defense of Shelley. It's a little too long-winded (not that I'm in a position to carp about such a thing!), but it makes some excellent points. The "sexual harassment" charge against Shelley, mysteriously unspecified in most news accounts, apparently amounts to little. He lost his temper at an employee and used foul language. Not an advisable action, of course -- but such an outburst hardly justifies an attempt by the media to frame the poor fellow as a sex-crazed fiend. And if that charge turns out to be mere hype, we have every reason to suspect that the other charges have been blown out of proportion. (Can I be accused of sexual harassment because I used the word "blown" in the previous sentence?) The battle over the new California Secretary of State has spawned an important web site called Ban the Machine. I advise you to check them out. John McLaughlin: I never much cared for him or for his band of stuffed shirts. But he's old and cantankerous enough to allow himself the occasional snarl at the leash, and he comes from the William F. Buckley wing of the conservative movement. (God help me, but I miss the days when guys like Buckley constituted the Face of the Enemy.) At any rate, McLaughlin recently said on his program that Bush won Ohio by 70,000 votes. Which leads to this simple question: Who handed McLaughlin that number, which differs from the official tally? http://cannonfire.blogspot.com/2005/02/vote-for-fusion-tyranny.html ***** Tuesday, January 20, 2004 Why the League of Women Voters Is Wrong on E-Voting A Point-by-Point Rebuttal By Eric A.

Communities across America are purchasing electronic voting (e-voting) machines, but the technology has serious security problems that aren't being addressed. Most of the machines use "black box" software that hasn't been publicly reviewed for security. Almost none provide voter-verifiable paper ballots to detect fraud. A recent analysis by several academic researchers outlines the many and varied ways that anyone from a technically proficient insider to an average voter could disrupt an e-voting system to defraud an election. The response of some of the companies that make e-voting machines has been even more upsetting. Instead of embracing close technical review and public interest in its products, one of the three major manufacturers of these machines has embarked upon a campaign of sending cease-and-desist letters to those who criticize it. The company first sent one to the academic researchers and then later sent many to individuals and groups who republished internal email messages that reveal both the problems with the systems and employee attempts to cover up those problems. E-voting technology is promising, but its benefits should not obscure its dangers. Without basic auditing checks, these machines dramatically increase the chances for undetectable election fraud.

7. pay NO attention to " the Man Behind the Curtain " |
I don't think were In-Democracy AnyMORE..., toto ! ***** Snohomish County (WA) update Edited on Mon Feb-21-05 07:56 PM by bailey77 link: http://www.bbvforums.org/forums/messages/1954/1954.html... Black Box Voting will pick up the last of 12 boxes of public records from Snohomish County, Washington this week. The records consist of internal audit logs and "trouble reports" from Snohomish County touch-screen voters. An e-mail obtained in the request, written from Snohomish County Auditor Bob Terwilliger to San Bernardino (CA) County Registrar Scott Konopasek indicated that Snohomish County had experienced quite a few "calibration problems" where the touch-screen put votes onscreen that differed from the voter's choice. Black Box Voting has obtained about eight voter's reports of touch-screens marking votes for the wrong candidate. - In one report, the voter said that votes were on the screen for Bush before he even had a chance to touch the screen. - Other reports indicated that voters had to "correct" the votes repeatedly. - In one case, the voter was instructed to press a spot on the screen above the box for the candidate she wanted. - Another voter was told that the problem might be corrected if she pressed "very lightly only." Yet, these voter reports are clearly only the tip of the iceberg. Bev Harris examined the internal touch-screen logs from approximately 950 Snohomish County touch-screens. Voting machine internal logs report that "calibrations" were performed on the machines 100 times while the election was in progress. Presumably only technicians can recalibrate the screen, and one would expect that the screen would not be recalibrated unless it was performing incorrectly. In Snohomish County, the actual number of calibrations was apparently more than ten times the number of voter reports. Internal logs from the touch-screens show a large number of other anomalies, clustering especially on the Tulalip Indian Reservation and the Cascade Elementary School polling places, as well as some other locations. Black Box Voting is completing an audit of these "mystery anomalies" and will then seek permission to conduct tests to see if they can be replicated, in order to evaluate what was going on with the voter and votes while the internal workings of the machine appeared to be malfunctioning. Though Snohomish County has been exceptionally cooperative with the Nov. 2 records request, it appears that a small number of records are also missing from the documents produced. In one case, there is a notation that a poll tape is being "held." (No further information was offered as to why the tape was not forthcoming.) Black Box Voting is taking the Snohomish County documents to Jeremiah Akin in Riverside County, California for his examination, because Riverside has been obstructive with its own records, and the Snohomish records provide a fairly complete set. Akin has developed expertise in examining Sequoia systems, and has expressed interest in seeing a set of records from a cooperative Sequoia touch-screen county. Additional work has been done on Snohomish County by VotersUnite.org (http://www.votersunite.org ). An attorney, Paul Lehto, is currently taking on the role of a plaintiff in a lawsuit against Snohomish County touch-screens, on the grounds that the touch-screens force votes to be counted in secret, a violation of the law. The records from Snohomish County will be used in Riverside, California to help teach local citizens techniques for auditing elections on Sequoia touch-screens, and the techniques learned from Snohomish County will also be applied to Palm Beach County, Florida. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x331377 ***** Here's the list of speakers and topics for the teach-in!
