The question of fraud in electronic voting machines was conclusively proven in December of 2005 in Leon County, Florida in a test conducted by the Leon County Supervisor of Elections, Ion Sancho, Finnish computer expert Harri Hursti, Black Box Voting, and Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. It's known as the Leon County Hack.
The test was on Diebold machines and Hursti not only proved the potential for fraud, he proved that the machines were DESIGNED for fraud.
He proved that the Diebold software allowed for negative votes to be counted. Anyone who knows anything about software would know that this had to be done intentionally and the only reason for allowing negative votes to be counted is fraud.
How does the fraud work?
Before the election starts add 500 negative vote to candidate A.
During the election, say candidate A gets 2000 real votes. His total at the end of the day will be 1500, minus the 500 negative votes.
What do you do with the extra 500 real votes.
Add them to candidate B.
During the election. say candidate B got 1200 real votes. His total at the end of the day will be 1700 votes, plus 500 real votes from candidate A.
Winner .. Bush .. I mean candidate B .. AND the number of total votes comes out perfect. In 2004, half of America voted on Diebold machines.
After the Hursti Hack, Florida got rid of Diebold and states all over the country began demanding a Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) with every election held on electronic voting machines.
The activists begged the Democratic Party to take action on this before the 2004 election, and not only were we ignored, in some states like Georgia, it was the democrats we had to fight. I know because I was in the middle of that fight.
