Over 100 *missing* vote machine memory cards!!!

Just in Chicago and Cook County.

How is that even possible?

If that does not destroy your confidence in electronic voting, you're HIGH.

5. Google is your friend.

Seems like they might have found some since the story I read earlier;

I've been dealing with a death here... So please excuse my somewhat late posting about this, but the story I heard this AM was that they were searching through bags of equipment for memory cards in like 300 precincts. Now, if they have found them, I have to wonder how secure the chain of custody is!

4. You're KIDDING ME?! Was that on the local news?

Has anyone given an explaination yet?

100 missing cards is THOUSANDS of votes, right? This is the card from a particular machine that they take to the "central tabulator" and that's how it's read? So one card would hold thousands of votes, right?

G-d I hope this wakes people up to these machines!

I'm over in Michigan now, dealing with the death of my Father-in-law, but heard this on my way to get breakfast this AM.

7. Have they been used?

And for which election?

[in_cog_ni_to]

8. The Tuesday Illinois Primary. We just voted 2 days ago.

:hi:

[benburch]

11. And they are still counting votes.

How could a paper ballot tallied by hand be any slower?

[MarmiteVarmint]

15. Cards

Can those votes now be included? And are they from maj. Dem districts?

[benburch]

16. Yes, they plan to count them.

And I am not certain what districts they are from.

10. Sometimes I wish I were "HIGH" It might makes this nightmare

easier to take. :banghead:

13. Only Heroin would do now.

Where is that needle?
