political deception: Nader Challenges New Hampshire on voting machines

The Nader/Camejo campaign requests a hand recount of the ballots in the presidential election in New Hampshire. Numerous voting rights activists have requested that we seek a recount of this vote.

We have received reports of irregularities in the vote reported on the AccuVote Diebold Machines in comparison to exit polls and trends in voting in New Hampshire. These irregularities favor President George W. Bush by 5% to 15% over what was expected. Problems in these electronic voting machines and optical scanners are being reported in machines in a variety of states.

We are requesting that the state undertake this recount or a statistically significant sample audit of these vote counts.

Go Nader! I hope that we have more pressure being applied as the days go on, i'd like to see these diebold republican's bask in their rotteness...

A bedrock of democracy is making sure that every vote counts. The counting of votes needs to be transparent so people can trust that their vote is counted as they cast it. Paperless electronic voting on touch screen machines does not provide confidence to ensure votes are counted the way voters intend. The software on which votes are counted is protected as a corporate trade secret and the software is so complex that if malicious code was embedded no analysis could discover it. Further, because there is no voter verified paper record, it is not possible to audit the electronic vote for accuracy, nor is it possible to conduct an independent recount. This Primary Day six million voters will be voting on paperless electronic voting machines. This is a grotesquely designed, over-complicated expensive system fraught with the potential for mistakes and undetected fraud.

I was a part of that! Randi Rhodes of Air America Radio motivated me donate to blackbox.org and fax Nader. Her radio program crashed a website, and broke Nader's machine.

Bumping this...

This should get well with bout time's thread on Ohio. This should come together nicely...

Wouldn't that be awesome if we could bankrupt the fed government state by state on lawsuits of voter's fraud and the like? # the feds, I say we put all the power back into the states...
