Please see this ad which ran in New Hampshire's Manchester Union
Leader newspaper 2 days before the Primary:
http://www.votefraud.org/ron_paul_NH_newspaper_2008.pdf It was an
attempt to get poll watchers to watch the polls.
If you watched the New Hampshire primary results come in as I did,
you would have noticed that the distribution of votes remained
constant, with no change or fluctuation over the whole state, all
night. In the real world- that doesn't happen. In the real world we
could have expected sudden surges as one candidate pulled ahead as
votes from some towns were tallied, but that didn't happen- the
percentages stayed constant- a sure sign that the fix was in from the
beginning.Jim Condit clearly spells out the problem we%u2019re facing
at www.votefraud.org Especially see these key articles in his archives

In the town of Sutton, at least 3 people voted for Ron Paul, but
their votes were not
talliedhttp://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/files/elections/2008/by_county/NH_GOP_0108.h\

"My mom, aunt, and dad all voted for RP today in my hometown, My mom
and aunt both work passing out ballots, and checking them off. I just
looked at the politico map and it says their town has ZERO votes for
Ron. Now i know that there isn't corruption on voting in that little
town, so where they reported it must be. What do I do, anyone know???

A YouTube video from Black Box Voting that you won't soon forget:

THE CAT THAT CONTROLS NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION PROGRAMMING
John Silvestro and his small private business, LHS Associates, has
exclusive programming contracts for ALL New Hampshire voting
machines,
which combined will count about 81 percent of the vote in the
primary. And
as to Super Tuesday and beyond: Silvestro also has the programming
contracts for the states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont.
Silvestro IS the New Hampshire chain of custody in New England -- Or
at
least, a very large component in it.
Last fall, with the help of citizens like you, Black Box Voting began
working on "Chain of Custody" projects, in which we identified some
of
the areas of concern that might affect many jurisdictions at once.
First
on the list for the Northeast U.S. is LHS Associates, a vendor with
inside access to every memory card, as well as to the chips
containing
the "brain" of the Diebold optical scan machines.
RARE VIDEO FOOTAGE
In an unusual confluence of available video, we obtained footage of
Silvestro grappling with Harri Hursti, the master hacker who had his
way
with the Diebold optical scans in Leon County, Florida in the famous
exploit that was showcased in the film Hacking Democracy.
The exact same make, model and version hacked in the Black Box Voting
project in Leon County is used throughout New Hampshire, where about
45
percent of elections administrators hand count paper ballots at the
polling place, with the remaining locations all using the Diebold
version
1.94w optical scan machine. Because the voting machine locations tend
to be urban, this represents about 81 percent of the New Hampshire
voters.
The video shows Harri Hursti testifying on Sept. 19 before the New
Hampshire legislature, attempting to explain significant
vulnerabilities
requiring urgent mitigations; throughout his testimony, Silvestro
inserted his own comments, opinions, misstatements and speculations.
VOTING MACHINE CHECKUP
One area of disagreement between Hursti and Silvestro was the amount
of
expertise needed to exploit the Diebold 1.94w optical scan system.
Silvestro claimed (in a strange contortion of reasoning) that he
doesn't
hire very skilled programmers, implying that this makes New Hampshire
elections more secure.
Hursti pointed out that hiring programmers with a lack of knowledge
is
generally not considered a security feature, and also that an average
high schooler can learn to exploit the system in two days to two
weeks.
WE THINK IT DOESN'T TAKE THAT LONG
Black Box Voting purchased a Diebold optical scan with 1.94w
firmware,
and chose a computer repair shop out of the phone book, took it in,
grabbed the first available technician. It took him less than 10
minutes
to zero in on the memory card as a point of critical vulnerability --
and oh my, did he point out some other intersting things!
NEW HAMPSHIRE HASN'T UPGRADED SYSTEM SECURITY
Silvestro tries to claim that the security problems have been fixed
in
newer editions. Whether or not they have been, it's a moot point in
New
Hampshire where the upgrade is not made unless the Ballot Law
Commission meets, and they have not met for ages.
Silvestro then points to extraordinary measures taken by other states
to enact special procedural safeguards, but of course none of those
were
implemented in New Hampshire either, because the Ballot Law
Commission
has not bothered to meet since March 2006.
IN FACT, NEW HAMPSHIRE HAS NOT IMPLEMENTED MITIGATIONS FOR KNOWN
RISKS
Not only that, they have turned all the programming over to a sole
source private company, taking vote counting for 81 percent of New
Hampshire citizens out of the public domain.
LHS is not subject to public records requirements, as the government
is, at least, not in New Hampshire. The control over memory card
contents
is absolute; when cards malfunction or get lost, LHS brings the
replacements.
CONTROL OVER THE "BRAINS" OF THE MACHINE: ACCESS TO THE CHIP
Since LHS maintains the machines, repairs the machines, and replaces
the machines -- often on Election Day -- when they malfunction, they
have
intimate access to the chips, sockets, ports, communications devices
and other electronic components.
Silvestro stated that the chip has "read only memory" and cannot be
reprogrammed without frying it under ultraviolet light overnight.
Hursti never had a chance to examine the hardware, nor have most of
the
recent university studies had access. But our friendly neighborhood
computer repair guy differed with Silvestro on the point of plug &
play
reprogramming of the guts of the machine.
After I push the button to send this message out to the media and the
citizenry, I'll work on getting a short YouTube video of the Accuvote
checkup by our local computer repairman. And before you say, "But
wait!
He's not a world class expert!" -- That's just the point.
Our local computer repairman may hit or miss on some of his analyses.
You'll all be able to try your hand at second guessing him as soon as
the next video is up. But if he hits even one of his ideas for how to
exploit the machine to steal votes, that's all it takes. From someone
who
is not, certainly, a world class hacker or even a hacker at all.
I'll post the link to that in a follow up here:

They deserve everyone%u2019s support. We must immediately challenge
this rigged Primary and demand a recount. If Ron Paul%u2019s campaign
staff doesn%u2019t do it, as far as I%u2019m concerned that would be
indicative of plants on the staff.
How could that be? Melinda Pillsbury has exposed the Cato Institute,
a Libertarian Think Tank in Washington DC as being controlled by the
Neocons- see her excellent article "The Enemy Within- Cato's Covert
Agenda" at http://www.nolanchart.com/author18.html
Jim Condit of www.votefraud.org had poll watchers in at least some of
the precincts. I talked with him yesterday, and will be in touch with
him about anything they might have found out. If there were any
discrepancies in those precincts that used paper ballots, he would
have found them out. Also, if the result from the precincts counted
via paper ballots differed noticably from those where the vote was
counted by LHS associates using hackable Diebold Machines, that would
also raise a red flag. Stay tuned folks, and while this gets sorted
lets keep pushing full tilt for Dr. Paul. We have no choice at this
point, he either gets elected, or we get the iron boot of tyranny
stomping in our faces forever.
WHAT TO DO: Call Ron Paul's campaign office at 703-248-9115 and
demand that they officially demand a RECOUNT!! The Supreme Court has
ruled that a constitutional election entails two things 1) That we
have the right to cast a vote, and 2) We have the right to have that
vote COUNTED accurately!
It is very evident from the information cited in this message that
LHS Associates just rigged the New Hampshire primary. Every American
who has contributed to the Ron Paul campaign has just been ROBBED
along with the registered voters of New Hampshire including those in
Sutton whose votes were not counted! Email this whole alert to Ron
Paul via this contact form on their website
