A Wichita State University mathematician sued the top Kansas election official Wednesday, seeking paper tapes from electronic voting machines in an effort to explain statistical anomalies favoring Republicans in counts coming from large precincts across the country. Beth Clarkson, chief statistician for the university’s National Institute for Aviation Research, filed the open records lawsuit in Sedgwick County District Court as part of her personal quest to find the answer to an unexplained pattern that transcends elections and states. The lawsuit was amended Wednesday to name Secretary of State Kris Kobach and Sedgwick County Elections Commissioner Tabitha Lehman. Clarkson, a certified...

In at least two polling locations, voting machines are changing votes for Pat Roberts to votes for Greg Orman. The machines were located in Overland Park, Kansas. Both changed votes to Orman, but did not change votes from Orman to Roberts. According to a local report, voters who noticed that their votes were changed were allowed to vote again. The Johnson County Election Office confirmed that they were aware of the issue and were looking into the matter. They said "the voter was allowed to vote on another machine" and the broken machine, which they said was calibrated wrong, was...

This is the stuff of which conspiracy theories are made. This video posted by an anonymous Virginia voter suggests that he had quite a difficult time supporting the candidate of his choice: CLICK ABOVE LINK FOR THE VIDEO Now, clearly this voting machine has nothing personal against Republicans, per se. The video shows this eager Virginia voter casting his ballot in favor of GOP Senate candidate Ed Gillespie. It does, however, seem to have a problem with 2nd Congressional District candidate Suzanne Patrick. This might be easily dismissed if it was an isolated incident, but it is not. According...

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...

Earlier this month, Obama made his first official move to corrupt and undermine the 2010 elections. The move consisted in the little noticed appointment of a technical adviser to the Technical Guidelines Development Committee (TGDC) of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC). The importance of the appointment was explained at The Brad Blog last Monday. The Official Press Release of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission read as follows: U.S. ELECTION ASSISTANCE COMMISSION 1225 New York Ave. NW – Suite 1100 Washington, DC 20005 For Immediate Release December 11, 2009 Contact: Jeannie Layson Sarah Litton (202) 566-3100 New Technical and Scientific...

MANATEE - A state audit of Sarasota County's touch-screen voting machines and an independent review of their source code found no evidence that they caused 18,000 non-votes in the 13th Congressional District race, according to two reports released Friday. Instead, the reports' authors suggested ballot design was a more likely culprit and urged more study into it. Critics quickly faulted the findings as flawed, incomplete and a "whitewash," contending the authors ignored evidence to the contrary. Critics also vowed to continue legal efforts to force a new election between U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Longboat Key, and Christine Jennings. Officials certified...

N.C. judge dismisses voting machine case; vendor may pull out RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - One of the nation's leading suppliers of electronic voting machines may decide against selling new equipment in North Carolina after a judge declined Monday to protect it from criminal prosecution should it fail to disclose software code as required by state law.Diebold Inc., which makes automated teller machines and security and voting equipment, is worried it could be charged with a felony if officials determine the company failed to make all of its code -- some of which is owned by third-party software firms, including...

Secretary of State Kevin Shelley badly mismanaged a federally funded voter-rights program, costing counties the money they need to replace outdated voting machines, a state audit released Thursday concluded. Shelley -- California's chief elections official -- also failed to prevent his staff from improperly participating in overtly partisan Democratic events, the audit said. And his mishandling of Congressional Help America Vote Act funds and bungling of the HAVA program has left the state subject to federal penalties and in danger of missing a January 2006 deadline for instituting new voting requirements. "The office's insufficient planning and poor management practices hampered...

A Really Open Election By CLIVE THOMPSON Published: May 30, 2004 This fall, as many as 20 percent of American voters will be able to cast their ballots on A.T.M.-style electronic voting machines. But to put it mildly, these machines -- where you simply touch a screen and a computer registers your vote -- have not inspired much confidence lately. North Carolina officials recently learned that a software glitch destroyed 436 e-ballots in early voting for the 2002 general election. In a Florida state election this past January, 134 votes apparently weren't recorded -- and this was in a...

WEST PALM BEACH -- Florida's voting machines came under attack again Monday when a lawmaker sued state election supervisors because new ballot counters lack a paper trail needed for possible recounts. Democratic U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler said voters need to be assured every vote is counted, particularly in close races where a manual recount is required by law. "Why doesn't Gov. Bush simply say, "Let's improve our Florida election system even more than we've done so, provide for certainty and provide for security and in case something goes wrong, have a back up?'" Wexler said moments after filing the lawsuit...

I just voted in Snohomish County, and had a couple of observations. Turnout seemed typical. I voted at 10:30 am and the voters were mostly Socialist Security recipients and mental cases (like they say, the Short Bus always stops in Everett).I do have some concerns about the new machines. The first is, you have no way of knowing what is actually written to the chip. It could be anything, and the tech industry is not known for their ethics or support for the GOP. Secondly, and I should have prevented this, but they didn't let me put the card into...

(Manchester-AP Nov. 5, 2002 11:30 AM) _ Too bad some voting machines don't have spellcheckers. In Manchchester today, some machines had the name of the incumbent state treasurer Denise Nappier, a woman, turned into a man's name, Dennis Nappier. Election officials were told about the misspelled name and got stickers with the right name to put on the machines.
