Whatever happened re: affidavits of Remote Patch by Manuf. Rep. to tabula
Vote Tabulators

Manufacturer Reps have Remote Patch to Vote Tabulators, including on Election Day(Manufacturer had election results live on web site as the votes were being compiled by the manufacturer)

Van Wert County (Punch Cards, Triad Tabulator ) random sample , Triad serviced tabulators remotely before recount.
"The hand recount of Jackson went smoothly and matched the total from election night. The Van Wert 1D count did not match the first time through. It was counted about three times and then matched.
"When asked if Triad had serviced the machine, the deputy director and a board member stated that they had serviced the machine over the phone via modem on December 9th."


Affidavits of Tampering by Manufacturer Reps prior to Recount
Hocking County(Punch Cards, Triad Tabulator)
At an Ohio hearing convened by Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., an affidavit was filed on behalf of Sherole Eaton, an election worker in Hocking County, describing how an employee of Triad may have tampered with the vote tabulator when he dismantled it three days before the Dec. 13 recount. In her affidavit, she states the technician told her "how to post a 'cheat sheet' on the wall so the ... count would come out perfect and we wouldn't have to do a full hand recount of the county."
Conyers has asked the FBI to investigate. Attorneys for John Kerry filed two motions on Monday to preserve the evidence in this case and to take the deposition of the Triad technician

1. What happened to the Green County suit re: phantom votes
Green Recount Team statement(2 precincts examined)

"In Perry County, we inspected the voter logbooks, which showed 100 people voting in one precinct without any signatures, leaving no way to verify who actually voted." A lawsuit asking the courts to overturn the results of the Perry County auditor's race alleges that the number of votes exceeded the number of people who signed the voting books.

2. And the fraudulent absentee ballots in Trumbull County?
Trumbull County No Green report filed yet:
A careful review of the absentee vote in one Ohio county revealed that many more absentee votes were cast than there were absentee voters identified. All absentee voters must be identified as such by name and residence in the
precinct poll books of the precinct in which they are registered. Over 100 precinct poll books in Trumbull County were checked for absentee voters and that number of actual absentee voters was compared to the certified number of absentee votes. There was an inflated difference in nearly every precinct of the five communities examined. The five communities whose poll books were carefully inspected for an absentee vote overcount are: Warren City (311), Howland TownshipThe 106 precincts of these five Ohio communities, about 39% of all precincts in Trumbull County, netted a total of 580 absentee votes for which there were no absentee voters identified in the poll books. Assuming the same rate of inflated absentees statewide would produce a swing of 62,000 votes.

5. These come from the Green Party recount team debriefing
Edited on Sat Apr-23-05 04:01 PM by berniew1
The Greens who participated in the county recounts made the statements used here.
Has anyone followed up on their findings of fraud and irregularities in many of the counties???
I only listed a few. http://www.flcv.com/greenrc.html

Another county had white stickers over Kerry optical scan votes
Mercer?

Green County found voter logs didn't match official vote totals??

many other problems noted.
There should be followup investigations going on in each of them.
They represented illegal actions(felonies in most cases)
Is no one investigating any of the known fraud in Ohio?
other than Cuyahoga- which had a lot more serious problems than what is being investigated(lack of random sample in recount- which was known to be true for 90% of the counties)

7. Mercer Co. also had pre-prep by Triad Rep. before recount& not random samp
Edited on Sat Apr-23-05 07:49 PM by berniew1
Mercer County( Punch Card, Triad tabulators) ***
"... the three percent of ballots to be recounted were already selected in advance "
" forced to stand up during the entire recount process, which seemed to be a needless inconvenience that could easily have been resolved."
"... we were denied access to the poll registry ... "
"I asked our local contact person if Nader's name had been covered on the actual punch card units at the polls and she replied that they had not been and that this had been controversial."
"I specifically asked if it was possible for us to get a number on ... the only way we could get this number would be to request and pay for a complete hand recount because the company that provides the tabulating equipment and computer software had come in before the election and reprogrammed everything to simply ignore the Nader votes."
"I asked who the vendor was, and he replied Triad Systems ... that, as a matter of fact, they had been at the Mercer County Board of Elections the day prior to the recount. He further stated that he was told that there was some problem with the tabulator, and that the technician had replaced a switch."
"... the technician who had done the work was still on the premises ... It turned out he had actually disassembled the tabulator at 7:30 that morning. He said he'd replaced a box containing a switch, and then made a remark to the effect that he didn't have anything to do with the software, that he's just a hardware technician."
"Unlike other counties at which the Wisconsin volunteers were present, our volunteers did not have the opportunity to see what happened when the data was transferred from the tabulator machine to the computer compiling the votes. The officials present did claim, however, that this computer is not networked to any other."
"I would not accept this on its face since they were not honest about the equipment being serviced the day of the recount. Surely they all knew this had occurred."
(affidavit from another Triad county cast doubt on this- said Triad had remote wireless patch)

8. I really appreciate all your excellent documentation Bernie!
I remember the Triad story as it was unfolding...amazing how the media and all other investigatory agencies are ignoring these blatant transgressions.

Right in front of everyone's faces. Truly dispicable, isn't it?

9. So why don't people follow up by reminding authorities and inquiring
as to how the investigations are going? When an indictment will be expected. If this isn't happening, why not?? Isn't there strong evidence that the law was violated??
