ELECTRONIC VOTING, REPORTING, AND POSSIBILITY FOR FRAUD
Black Box Voting ^ | July 20, 2012 | Bev Harris

Posted on 11/08/2012 4:18:38 AM PST by God-fear-republican

A press release today about the planned expansion of Unisyn into more USA locations renews attention on foreign ownership of corporations selling voting systems into the United States.

Unisyn is owned by a Malaysian gambling outfit. ...Military voting is now handled in several states by Barcelona, Spain-owned Scytl. In January 2012, Scytl acquired the largest election results reporting firm, SOE Software.

Accenture, now based in Dublin Ireland (formerly headquartered in tax-haven Bermuda), claims copyright over the massive electronic voter registration/voter history databases used in several states, including Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Colorado, Wisconsin and Arkansas. Accenture purchased its voter registration unit from Election.com, a Saudi-owned company based in the Cayman Islands.

Because a computer will only do what it's programmers and administrators tell it to do, whoever issues the commands gains ultimate control over how it receives, counts, and reports votes, voter registrations, and voter histories.

SPAIN-OWNED INTERNET VOTING COMPANY -- SCYTL -- AND RESULTS REPORTING FIRM -- SOE SOFTWARE

In January 2012, Black Box Voting reported that Barcelona-owned Internet voting firm Scytl had purchased another company, which handles a different part of USA elections: SOE Software.

After information goes from voting machines into the county central tabulator, it travels to Tampa, Florida into the SOE system, and is posted on sites like ClarityElections.com (the host domain owned by SOE) or at Web sites which appear with county names, but actually come from Tampa's SOE.

IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF USA ELECTION SOFTWARE?

Not if you don't mind some unknown guys working offshore controlling whatever they choose to in the software processing votes and voters.

All the votes need to be counted by hand. I just don’t trust these results. Obama will probably have a court order seal them just like he did everything else.

Why we bother to vote because our voting results will be “massaged” by foreigners who have connection with Saudi and Malaysia gambling! Banana Republic we have become!

Gore/Bush Florida fiasco was set up to usher in touch-screen voting machines.

I know there was some type of vote fraud in Ohio, not by result, but by turnout numbers reported. All eyes on the ground Tuesday said it was the biggest turnout ever seen, especially in suburban areas. In the cities, not so much.

Wednesday morning? Oh, as it happens, voter turnout was not even as high as the last national election in 2008. Something smells bad to me.

The voting software SHOULDN’T be very difficult to audit - and security measures could be put in place such that prevent tampering.

Of note, I’m not aware of any stories of big bags of “misplaced” ballots (trunks of cars, in unsecured storage closets, etc) that have suddenly appeared - and magically containing enough votes to place a Democratic candidate ahead.

without a vote receipt and the ability to verify your vote was recorded, you have no idea what, if anything, was added to the vote total

This is most likely why Intrade never veered from an Obama win.

Exit polls at red states were not conducted as they would show Republican voters were extremely motivated; therefore, the total tally of votes for Romney did not make sense. For what I could observe at polling place and following various polls prior to the election, our number this year should not be 56 millions they reported but should be much higher than 60 millions McCain got in 2008.

It is the will of God, Obama has to reign over us as we have sinned. He will usher in wars, poverty, pestilence, vices, and despair. We should all kneel down and beg God for mercy and forgiveness. Don’t rely on your brute strength and intelligence to fight back, just look back at the old Israelites of Old Testament, we will never win.

Early voting has thrown the doors wide open to fraud.

It sure seems strange to me that one of my former unionista neighbors who lives in Florida chose election day for a single day trip to Michigan where he owns the house his brother lives in.

We all know that this election was stolen.

I'm not so sure. Consider, we have an effective unemployment rate approaching 40%. These unemployed have a vested interest in continual Welfare, Food Stamp, Housing assistance, medical and other government programs. We have a large percentage of students who feel that unlike their parents, they are entitled to a free education, as well as free food, housing, birth control and spending money while they pursue their education. We have illegal aliens who are given the right to vote, and are voting in their self-interests.

And, mysteriously, we have a segment of the employed "Producers" who feel that the money they earn SHOULD be taken away and given to these people.

I believe that Sean Hannity, Rush and other Conservatives have finally caught up to what I've been saying for years. When you get enough non-producers dependent upon Gov't, and allow them to vote; they will inevitably vote to enslave the producers - which is exactly what we have now.

Bev Harris? The scam artist who took many thousands from the DUmmies after 2000. This is considered a reliable source? Please, this site is better than that.

FROM DRUDGE REPORT:

http://www.drudgereport.com/flash1.htm

FOREIGN COMPANY BUYS U.S. ELECTION RESULTS REPORTING FIRM
By Bev Harris
http://www.blackboxvoting.org

In a major step towards global centralization of election processes, the world’s dominant Internet voting company has purchased the USA’s dominant election results reporting company.

When you view your local or state election results on the Internet, on portals which often appear to be owned by the county elections division, in over 525 US jurisdictions you are actually redirected to a private corporate site controlled by SOE software, which operates under the name ClarityElections.com.

The good news is that this firm promptly reports precinct-level detail in downloadable spreadsheet format. As reported by BlackBoxVoting.org in 2008, the bad news is that this centralizes one middleman access point for over 525 jurisdictions in AL, AZ, CA, CO, DC, FL, KY, MI, KS, IL, IN, NC, NM, MN, NY, SC, TX, UT, WA. And growing.

As local election results funnel through SOE’s servers (typically before they reach the public elsewhere), those who run the computer servers for SOE essentially get “first look” at results and the ability to immediately and privately examine vote details throughout the USA.

In 2004, many Americans were justifiably concerned when, days before the presidential election, Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell redirected Ohio election night results through the Tennessee-based server for several national Republican Party operations.

This is worse: This redirects results reporting to a centralized privately held server which is not just for Ohio, but national; not just USA-based, but global.

A mitigation against fraud by SOE insiders has been the separation of voting machine systems from the SOE results reports. Because most US jurisdictions require posting evidence of results from each voting machine at the precinct, public citizens can organize to examine these results to compare with SOE results. Black Box Voting spearheaded a national citizen action to videotape / photograph these poll tapes in 2008.

With the merger of SOE and SCYTL, that won’t work (if SCYTL’s voting system is used). When there are two truly independent sources of information, the public can perform its own “audit” by matching one number against the other.

These two independent sources, however, will now be merged into one single source: an Internet voting system controlled by SCYTL, with a results reporting system also controlled by SCYTL.

With SCYTL internet voting, there will be no ballots. No physical evidence. No chain of custody. No way for the public to authenticate who actually cast the votes, chain of custody, or the count.

SCYTL is moving into or already running elections in: the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Norway, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, India and Australia.

SCYTL is based in Barcelona; its funding comes from international venture capital funds including Nauta Capital, Balderton Capital and Spinnaker.

Here is the link to the press release regarding SYCTL’s acquisition of SOE:

I think there was plenty of fraud but that doesn’t mean a stolen election. That just means that there’s plenty of institutionalized fraud.

A good paper trail is using black markers on paper ballots then scanned. That’s how we do it.

I know for sure that in my district, the election was stolen. I don’t disagree with your opinion, but take my word for it, this election was stolen.

The dems knew all among that they had this election because they knew they could steal it! That’s why Biden laughed, Jarrett threatened and Obama said “revenge”.

I thought Black Box Voting and Bev Harris material was banned from this site.

Are you attempting to imitate DU??

As of yesterday, 11/7/12, I include myself as a member of a group of people henceforth known as the “Counters”.

(sample)

We demand that it be proven beyond reasonable doubt that votes cast for all candidates and state proposals were legitimate and in accordance with all US and state laws.

In addition, all 2012 general election and voting apparatae, forms, processes, etc. be proven certified retroactive to commencement of any and all early, absentee and military voting.

Feel free to add, delete, edit.
