"...Elections officials are investigating why vote totals couldn't be pulled from memory cards of some electronic voting machines used in Tuesday's special election..."

[lifelong_republican]

So they threw the machines in a van and drove them around awhile, before dropping them off. Did they turn them over to the elections workers who've already been convicted of tampering? We'd have to ask the elections board director who's already resigned ...

That forced poll workers to transport the voting machines in vans to county elections headquarters so officials could read the results off the machines' memory.>/I>

It appears from this that they were able to read the machines, after taking them to hdqtrs. Seems as though the system worked.

Cuyahoga County- the fetid swamp that spawned Dennis (the Keebler Elf) Kookcinich.

Still no one can explain how North Hampton, OH (Clark County) came up with 30 more ballots than they had registered voters????

Why do you imagine that it must have worked because they claimed they got something?

They don't even know what they got.

Maybe they started 'working' from being rattled around in transit.

[lifelong_republican]

The board of elections director is on his way out, perhaps taking his convicted employees with him.

We shouldn't have to 'trust' anyone to know that our elections are valid.

Thank you! You make an excellent point. You wrote:

That's not an isolated example, either. Thousands of votes are known to have been lost, others switched, and thousands more faked, by the electronics. They haven't been proven to be accurate, but they've been proven to be extremely unreliable and vulnerable.

After glancing at a few of your previous posts, I noticed you seem to be very dedicated to eliminating electronic voting. Do you think that all electronic voting methods are suspect and are being manipulated?

[lifelong_republican]

All other opinions on all other matters will be entirely moot unless we preserve our right to vote.

NIST, the GAO, and computer scientists have confirmed that the electronic 'voting' equipment is unreliable and vulnerable.

Do you believe any of those systems would somehow transcend the known problems with electronic processing?
