MS Election Official: No Evidence McDaniel Supporters Accessed Election Ballots or Central Tabulator During Primary Night Courthouse Caper
So why was the 'Tea Party' trio locked inside Hinds County election HQ at 2am on night of incredibly close race with Cochran?...
You may have already heard at least some of the bizarre story about three "Tea Party" supporters of Mississippi's Republican U.S. Senate candidate Chris McDaniel who found themselves locked inside the Hinds County Courthouse around 2am on primary election night last Tuesday. McDaniel himself is now locked in a run-off for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate against six-term Senator Thad Cochran, after the nail-biter on Tuesday which left the two men reportedly about 1,400 votes apart out of more than 300,000 cast.
But with one of the original headlines about the story focused on the fact that the three had been locked in the empty courthouse "with ballots on Election Night," there remain a number of questions about what actually happened, despite initial reportage indicating that "ballots had been secured prior to the intrusion" and a subsequent report noting that "some precinct information wasn't sealed."
So, The BRAD BLOG contacted the Hinds County Election Commissioners to get more information on the exact type of voting system used there, which aspects of it might have been vulnerable to the three McDaniel supporters alone inside the courthouse, and what type of information was left unsealed there on election night.
We received detail answers to our questions from one of the five Hinds County Election Commissioners --- the one who would, perhaps, have the most reason to be suspicious of the trio of McDaniel supporters...

(13,685 posts)Or they didn't know what time it was? Or that every night the building closed at a certain time? We should have pity on those poor idiots who had no where else to go that night and forgot where they lived and where they should have been? Surely them being t-bag activists had no bearing whatsoever, and their being lost in the courthouse with all the ballots and the vote counting computers that everyone knows can be hacked was just one big innocent mistake, right?

(6,785 posts)All they've gotta do is show their cell records where five minutes after the janitor left they made about a thousand panicked phone calls to every number they could dial.
If they didn't do something along those lines, they wanted to be locked in there, and I'm guessing it wasn't to get some peace for a nap.

(10,493 posts)or Spoonmoore that is one of the designers of the credit card protection system that has posted a few videos explaining how a "King computer" was used to change votes from Kerry to Bush in Ohio. This was the time they caught a TN., company and were going to depose Rove's IT guy who was killed in a mysterious small plane crash days before testifying. He goes on to say that our system is virtually unprotected and explains why. Very interesting stuff, especially the fact that neither party is trying to do anything about it.

(50,477 posts)It goes off every time that the vault is opened? So they couldn't have turned off the alarm system before opening it?
What other ways could they have tampered with the votes?
