[Peace-discuss] Fwd: Morton....

[Morton K.Brussel]

{I mentioned to this Eric Smith that he might be interested in coming  
to AWARE meetings, not knowing where he was. He replied as follows.  
Some will consider what he says alarmist, but I think he has important  
points to make. MKB}

> Assertion: "Upgrading the printer already in the (Diebold) machine  
> costs
> money"
> Fact: Diebold has stated in writing that their pre-installed internal
> printers are sufficient to generate a voter-verified paper trail.
>
> Assertion: "The paper is very expensive"
> Fact: No, thermal paper is the cheapest made. And with an estimated  
> maximmum
> of 300 people voting at each touch screen. A LARGE precinct may have  
> seven
> touch screens, but many have just two or three. It might cost $15 per

>
> Assertion: "The paper won't last"
> Fact: If the report to be by the machine will last the required amount

> time, the ballots will too, if printed on the same paper. The printer

>
> Assertion: "the machines will jam"
> Fact: The printer is similar to models used in supermarkets and  
> WalMart.
> Remember: the total number of transactions, will be about 300. Do
> supermarket and WalMart printers jam every 15 sales? No; They process

>
> Assertion: "the ink will run out"
> Fact: There is no ink in a thermal printer
>
> Question: "If a paper ballot record doesn't match a machine record,

> Fact: The voter-verified paper must trump the machine unless a

> that can be changed by a single technician!

> Assertion: "Paper ballot systems have been tampered with"

> Assertion: "Officials won't know what to do with paper ballots and new

> Fact: Laws and procedures set up for optical scans are applicable.

> Assertion: "A paper trail will only lead to demands for more

> Fact: Yes, it will. We're asking for that anyway, with optical

>
> Question: "Why use machines at all if you're demanding paper ballots?"
> Fact: Voting machines are helpful for the visually impaired
>
> Assertion: "Paper ballots prevent the visually impaired from voting"
> Facts: Wheelchair-assisted voters can use a touch screen with the same

> Optical-scan systems and absentee ballots: We have information that all

> NOT
> recognize all inks. You may want to bring a soft lead pencil to the  
> polling
> place with you to mark your optical-scan ballots.
>
> All Diebold counties (AccuVote and AccuTouch are Diebold brands) --  
> Demand
> that the poll workers print a report and post a copy at the polling  
> place at
> the end of the day, whether they are required to or not. All Diebold
> machines, both touch-screen and optical-scan, contain internal  
> printers and
> have the ability to print a polling place results report. This takes 60
> seconds and costs nothing, and is an important check and balance to  
> compare

> contain
> security flaws. Votes should not change from the polling place to the
> county.
>
> Report any instance of mismatched polling place/county tabulations  
> here. Do
> NOT accept the excuse that they won't match because early votes,  
> absentee,
> provisional, or challenge votes were added into the polling place

> That is called "co-mingling" the data and is not an acceptable

>
> Sequoia touch-screens do not have an internal printer. A printer can

>
> Watch for any "wandering vote tallies" on election night, especially  
> if any
> votes go DOWN. (Yes, this has been known to happen).
>
> Late poll openings: Report these immediately and we'll try to get

>
> Late vote results: Report late incoming tallies. These can be

>
> Observe how many cords come in and out of the voting machines. Report

> Wardrive election sites. See if you can pick up wireless signals either

> Also,
> report any use of cell phones for vote transfers, which is also not

>
> Election workers: Report the procedures used for training if they seem
