It is funny to see how the 2-party corporate rulers rig U.S. elections. Like the one in Florida in 2000! Or the one in 1960 where Kennedy won with the help of some Mafia vote rigging. :)

The Diebold Magic Disappearing Memory Cards. And memos!

As many people already know around 600 votes officially won the election in Florida 2000 for Bush. Gore actually won the popular vote nationwide. Many people also know (because of Greg Palast and others) of the tens of thousands of Democrat-leaning voters illegally scrubbed from the voter rolls of Florida. But what many people don't know is this breaking news about the Diebold voting machines in Florida in election 2000. For more info go to
http://BlackBoxVoting.org and read the book online chapter by chapter. Before it is taken down again.

Google News has many articles indexed from the news source "Scoop, New Zealand." Even articles more recent than the one below. Why isn't the article below indexed at Google News? Is it because the article quotes from the Diebold internal memos that Diebold is successfully causing to be taken down from the Internet? There is a worldwide civil disobedience campaign to keep the Diebold internal memos up on the net. Pass it on!!

Diebold Memos Disclose Florida 2000 E-Voting Fraud.

Some quotes follow from the Oct 24 2003 Scoop article. Emphasis added.

- The error was introduced in such a way that the total number of votes remained unchanged (again something that could not happen by chance.);
- According to the technical boffins, the chance of the memory card being corrupted and still passing the checksum error test are less than 60,000 to 1;
- The technical managers at Diebold Election Systems considered it a reasonable possibility that the second card was part of deliberate conspiracy to rig the election results.

...

First there are the 16,022 votes stolen from Gore in Volusia county by the "faulty memory card". Meanwhile over in Brevard County another error - also involving Global Elections System (the predecessor of Diebold) equipment is responsible for a further 4000 votes being lopped off the Gore total.

And it is also worth noting that nobody knows whether the Brevard and Volusia county errors were the only ones in play at this time. These errors were both big ones. They were noticed and corrected on the night. How many smaller vote subtractions could have taken place on the night? Theoretically hundreds. As Dana Milbank's Washington Post report shows it was only because someone noticed the error in Volusia that it was corrected and remarkably the software itself contains no automatic system for rejecting negative vote totals being reported by precincts, events which by definition can only be nefarious and wrong.

...

...Everybody knows that the TV networks screwed up big time on election night, and the issue of bias at those networks has also been well traversed.

What has not been discussed, or even conceived of till now, is that the events that occurred between around midnight and 4am might have been the result not of mistakes but of organised voting fraud.

Yet that is precisely what Talbot Iredale and Ken Clark's memos confirm is a distinct possibility, in fact, reading between the lines they suggest it is the most likely possibility.

...

We also now know, again thanks to the work of Black Box Voting investigators like Washington State's Bev Harris and California's Jim March, that the Diebold vote tallying programme used in several Florida counties, GEMS, is easily hackable, both by outsiders and by insiders.

We do not know what would have happened had a full state-wide recount been undertaken as the efforts to have one were blocked in the courts.

Would they have discovered other counties where unusual events like those discovered in Brevard and Volusia counties?

...

Is it possible that less egregious vote stealing took place in counties all over Florida?

Add into the mix the blatant roll scrubbing in Florida discovered by Greg Palast and exposed in his best-selling book "The Best Democracy Money can buy" and you have a recipe of reasons to reopen a full scale inquiry into the Florida debacle.

Perhaps more importantly. With paper-less touchscreen voting systems in place in many Florida counties come November 2004, should such events occur again, there will be no record with which to conduct a recount.
