I suppose this addresses<BR/>one of the many disasters waiting to happen but given the number of unusable<BR/>VVPATs from ESI study and just about any examination of real world VVPATs,<BR/>this is a huge tragedy.<BR/><BR/>What this memo guarantees is that anyone who wants to rig an election in<BR/>Ohio only needs to "accidentally" spill coffee on a box of VVPATs. Then your<BR/>VVPATs for a recount would be printed from the memory cards and you are<BR/>certain that your tabulation (DUH!) matches the newly printed contents of the<BR/>memory cards (no matter what those memory cards happen to say).<BR/><BR/>What? You can't imagine a county BOE storing election papers right next to<BR/>coffee pot? What about on the ground of a storage room that floods regularly?<BR/>What about all those tapes that "accidentally" get ripped when removing the<BR/>rolls from voting machines or just plain old "lost".<BR/> <BR/>Brunner opens a huge loophole in Ohio recounts. Especially when counties<BR/>do not have to post results at the polling locations on election night.ADELE EISNERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12773754799165318407noreply@blogger.com
