(NJ) 2/10 - JUDGE RULES (MAYBE) FOR PAPER TRAILS, BUT DON'T JUMP FOR JOY QUITE YET -
New Jersey has a tentative ruling that MIGHT result in a paper trail, as described below. But the ruling, and the news article about it, contain many inaccuracies so clarification is in order before celebration.
First, instead of ruling on the public right to have elections that are actually public (ie, processes enabling the public to see and authenticate every essential step of the election), the judge issued a ruling that demands the impossible: Before requiring a voter verified paper trail she asks for a finding as to whether the machines are secure. Of course they are not, since you cannot secure a computer against its own administrator, programmer or custodian. It will never be possible to judge a vote-counting computer to be secure, whether it has a paper trail or not. Someone always has custody of it. Someone always programs it.
The judge continues riffing off the security concept, ruling that machines be disconnected from the Internet. Yikes, that they ever were connected, but bear in mind, this focuses attention on outside hackers while insiders control concealed counting of the vote.
In fact, this decision is a bit of a stunner for pointing out existing procedures:
- "Unlike the panel that currently evaluates voting machines, the new panel must have requisite knowledge of computers and computer security"
- "all voting machines and vote tally transmitting systems be disconnected from the Internet immediately"
- There are currently no criminal background checks for those with inside access to voting machines.
- The ruling says they will "no longer leave voting machines unattended in polling places...currently they are left attended for up to two weeks before and up to two weeks after elections."
The Judge purports to require a new protocol that will ensure that the machines haven't been tampered with. Such a thing is not even theoretically possible when you acknowledge that insiders can circumvent their own protocols.
The saddest comment of all is from Professor Venetis, who spreads this false premise: "A voter-verified paper ballot system would detect tampering, and would obviate the very extensive security measures that the Court ordered."
No voter-verified paper ballot system detects tampering or obviates security measures. It is important to have a voter-verified paper ballot, so that measures can be put in place to... More
(MA) 1/10 - BIPARTISANLY YOURS: COAKLEY WON THE HAND COUNTS -
This article is about our right to know, not about Martha Coakley or Scott Brown. And lest you think something here favors a Democrat, just you wait, I'm still working on anomalies in the NY-23 election that are just plain hard to 'splain. As Richard Hayes Phillips says when people tell him to forget it, "I'm a historian, I've got all the time in the world." NY-23 still has history to be written. My public records are starting to arrive. But that's another story.
Back to Massachusetts, I think you have a right to know that Coakley won the hand counts there.
That's right.
According to preliminary media results by municipality, Democrat Martha Coakley won Massachusetts overall in its hand counted locations,* with 51.12% of the vote (32,247 hand counted votes) to Brown's 30,136, which garnered him 47.77% of hand counted votes. Margin: 3.35% lead for Coakley.
Massachusetts has 71 hand count locations, 91 ES&S locations, and 187 Diebold locations, with two I call the mystery municipalities (Northbridge and Milton) apparently using optical scanners, not sure what kind.
ES&S RESULTS
The greatest margin between the candidates was with ES&S machines -- 53.64% for Brown, 45.31% for Coakley, a margin for Brown of 8.33%. It looks like ES&S counted a total of 620,388 votes, with 332,812 going to Brown and 281,118 going to Coakley. Taken overall, the difference -- 8.33% Brown (ES&S) added to 3.35% Coakley (Hand Count) shows an 11.68% difference between the ES&S and the Hand Counts. Of course, as Mark Twain used to say, there are three kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies, and statistics. These statistics don't prove anything, and probably shouldn't be discussed without a grain of salt handy before examining more detailed demographics.
As a point of reference, however, in the Maine gay marriage issue recently there was no significant overall difference between machine count and hand count locations.
DIEBOLD RESULTS
Diebold's results are 51.42% for Brown, with 791,272 Republican votes counted by Diebold, vs. 47.61% for Coakley, with 732,633 Democratic votes counted by Diebold, for a spread of 3.81% favoring Brown.
LATE-REPORTED RESULTS
It's always interesting to watch hand counts beat machine count results to the newspaper.
In the Massachusetts special senate election, results from six of 71 hand count locations were reported about 2 1/2 hour... More
(MA) 1/10 - LOOKING OUT FOR PREMATURE "CALLING" OF MASS. ELECTION -
SHINING A BRIGHT LIGHT ON AN UNDEMOCRATIC TACTIC
For 10 years, I've been watching a trend to manipulate elections through premature "call" of the race by a media outlet. See below for predictions on what may follow a media call for either candidate in Massachusetts.
The media "call" can be manipulated because the public doesn't know that projected winners come from a system that is not even a governmental source! In fact, the media "calls" elections based on data from just one media outlet -- usually a quiet little division of the Associated Press that occupies a little corner somewhere and answers very few questions. Volunteers call in result reports to the corporation. The reports are often inaccurate (see below for examples). The names of these volunteers are not part of the public record. We will never get the list of names for those who will call in the 351 numbers which will result in "calling the election" for Tuesday's Massachusetts election.
HOW THE MEDIA "CALL" MAY ULTIMATELY CONTROL POLICY
If Tuesday's Massachusetts special senate election is "called" for Democrat Martha Coakley, expect to see a rush to install her, copying a Republican tactic in 2006 whereby San Diego's Brian Bilbray was seated by the US House of Representatives before tens of thousands of votes were even counted. Yes, the Senate can override the actual election results, or pre-empt the real results, and pre-emptively install a candidate based on a media prediction, or a bunch of unofficial tallies, or whatever they want. It can be done. It has been done. And if the media calls the race for Coakley, expect to see it done again.
If the race is "called" for Republican Scott Brown, expect to see a rush from Republican lawyers to claim that Brown has the right to vote immediately, instead of Paul Kirk who is current interim successor to Ted Kennedy. If that fails, look for an attempt to force abstention on the Massachusetts vote while stall tactics play out.
Sixty votes are needed. If Coakley is called and installed, they've got the 60. If Brown is called and stalled, they've got 59. Either way, the media "call" on Massachusetts is going to be under exceptional political pressure.
No matter where you stand on the controversial healthcare bill, be aware that what you see reported on Election Night is not only not "official" or "final", but is not even real, and ma... More
(MA) 1/10 - WHAT TO DO ABOUT MASSACHUSETTS -
Below you'll find suggestions for effective actions everyone can take, whether you live in Massachusetts or not, to help protect the truthfulness of Tuesday's Massachusetts senate special election.
Massachusetts election results will roll in from 351 municipalities (counties do not run elections in Mass., unlike most states). I've been poking around, and it looks like initial results will be posted through this news Web site:
http://www3.whdh.com/elections/MA100119/summary
These will be media results, not a governmental source, but should be collected as they roll in and compared with governmental results.
Yes, the machines are hackable*, machines are programmed by a firm with a member of its key management team afflicted with a criminal record and a history of driving around the state with replacement memory cards and voting machines in his trunk. And this election is vehemently political, with the winner possibly holding a key vote on the controversial healthcare bill.
(* Did a program update eliminate hackability? Well, the point is that no one really knows what's on the machines, and there's no point in taking anyone's word on anything with regard to whether problems have been "fixed" or not (or whether new vulnerabilities were introduced with a "fix"). But if anything was "fixed" it was put there by LHS Associates, the firm that programs all the machines.
NOTHING IS REALLY DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION
Except for the unusually high octane senate race, this election is no different than any other Massachusetts elections over the past 10 years. They've had tamper-friendly machines and a thuggish, centralized voting machine programming firm for many years now, the same situation that afflicts New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine and Connecticut.
When I say "thuggish" I refer not only to the narcotics trafficking conviction of LHS Associates' key management team member/voting machine support guy Ken Hajjar (photocopy of record here: http://www.bbvdocs.org/LHS/hajjar.png ), but to the sometimes profane and very blustery and pushy interactions many of us have had with these characters. Here's YouTube video showing LHS President John Silvestro interrupting a New Hampshire legislative hearing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiiaBqwqkXs
Now, when I say there is never basis for 'trust', what I mean is this: Public elections are th... More
(US) 12/09 - IT'S OFFICIAL: US DEPT. OF JUSTICE and 14 STATES LAUNCH ANTI-TRUST PROBE OF ES&S/DIEBOLD ACQUISITION -
Black Box Voting lodged a formal 21-page complaint with the U.S. Dept. of Justice in September, 2009 regarding the acquisition of Diebold's elections division by ES&S, on the grounds that the deal violates the Clayton Act. The United States Dept. of Justice has now formally opened an investigation. Here is our complaint:
http://www.blackboxvoting.org/BBV-AntiTrust-Letter.pdf
(1100 KB)
In addition, we provided the USDOJ with legal citations indicating that acquisitions which violate antitrust laws can be rolled back up to two years after the acquisition goes through.
Our complaint provided hard-to-obtain details on jurisdiction by jurisdiction voting machine purchases, proving overconcentration of the industry with the Herfindahl Index, used by the USDOJ to ascertain whether acquisitions create an anticompetitive marketplace. We also documented numerous specific instances of past anti-competitive behavior and unfair practices.
ES&S officials lied to county election officials, claiming the deal wasn't subject to anti-trust laws because it was too small. While it did fly under the radar because the dollar amount evaded an automatic hold on the acquisition, the provision invoking a hold does not have any impact on whether the deal is, ultimately, a violation of anti-trust laws.
Black Box Voting received a letter from the US Dept. of Justice last month indicating that they were paying attention to our complaint, and indicating intent to investigate providing that their initial inquiries corroborated the anti-competitive practices. (And how could they not?)
Reuters News just announced that the US DoJ and 14 individual states have launched formal antitrust investigations into the acquisition of Diebold's Premier Election Solutions by Election Systems & Software (ES&S).
Here is the article:
Reuters - Dec. 19, 2009

U.S. opens probe of Diebold unit sale
CHICAGO, Dec 19 (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Justice and 14 states have opened investigations into the sale of Diebold Inc's (DBD.N) voting machines business to Election Systems & Software that could lead to the unwinding of the September sale, the New York Post said on Saturday.
The deal was too small to require government approval at the time, but it gave ES&S a 70 percent share of the voting machine mark... More
(MI) 1/10 - DETROIT: CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION REQUESTED FOR ELECTIONS VIOLATIONS
Let's watch Detroit carefully, because today's request to prosecute election violations may help with a rotten elections culture elsewhere in the USA.
Ex-candidate Tom Barrow has filed a formal request for investigation along with stunning documentation of chain of custody breach in the recent Detroit mayoral election. Black Box Voting has been in close contact with Barrow, and we will be reviewing additional documents related to this case. The allegations are fascinating.
Detroit citizens executed watchdog actions brilliantly. One of my favorite tactics: They piled leaves in front of the back door, and went out to check frequently to see if anyone was sneaking in and out. The leaves showed that someone had entered through the back door. A security guard confessed to letting strangers in to the security area.
There's more ... in fact, the full complaint and its accompanying Exhibit provides a pretty good primer for citizens and candidates who want to watchdog elections. But first, a word about how widespread this culture of violating chain of custody has become:
NEW HAMPSHIRE CHAIN OF CUSTODY VIOLATIONS
In New Hampshire, Black Box Voting documented ballot boxes with removable seals affixed with post-it note style adhesive, ballots arrived in the wrong boxes, ballot boxes arrived open, they placed ballots in an unlocked room outside the ballot vault and they refused to account for the blank ballots. The only investigation launched was into the citizens who videotaped these transgressions.
ARIZONA CHAIN OF CUSTODY VIOLATIONS
In Arizona, citizen observer John Brakey spoke up about broken and mismatched seals in Pima County. The only investigation done was into John Brakey himself, who was arrested, apparently for his loud utterances about the broken chain of custody. That got Brakey and his pesky observations off the premises while they proceeded to count; charges were later dropped.
In Maricopa County, Black Box Voting board member Jim March revealed that they were ordering up to 10 copies of duplicate seal numbers (rendering seal numbers moot for chain of custody protection).
GEORGIA CHAIN OF CUSTODY VIOLATIONS
In Georgia, one poll worker after the next wrote down notes detailing missing, mismatched and broken seals. No action at all was taken, except to ridicule Cynthia McKinney, the candidate who had the backbone to ask for cha... More
(CO) 12/09 - ASPEN'S SLIPPERY SLOPES: CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS and BLOCKING RIGHT TO PUBLIC RECORDS -
Black Box Voting is now formally involved in a crucial public policy fight in Aspen, Colorado. Part of our role is to educate the public on the necessary argumentation to protect our rights. During a political bruise-fest following the City of Aspen's May 2009 election, important public policy issues have emerged.
Perhaps it began when Aspenite Marilyn Marks uncovered overspending and underdisclosing on a government housing project, then ran for mayor and lost. Using her blog, "The Red Ant," Marks had exposed massive cost overruns and significantly misleading cost estimates on the Nov. 2005 ballot to approve Aspen's Burlingame Ranch "affordable housing" project. She later decided to run for mayor, dueling it out with incumbent Mayor Mick Ireland, a staunch advocate of the Burlingame Ranch project. Marks and Ireland share a backbone for contentious issues, and neither one is afraid of a good fight.
Ireland beat Marks in the mayoral election by a nose.
VOTING RIGHTS CONFLICT OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE
During post-election jockeying between mayor-elect Ireland and former candidate Marks, a voting rights conflict of national importance was exposed. When the City chose to deny a crucial open records request by Marilyn Marks, she filed a lawsuit to compel compliance with Colorado Open Records Laws.
OVERVIEW: No rational person can favor unaccountable elections. Elections that are unaccountable to the people they purport to serve fail to recognize that the people are the sole legitimate and ultimate source of power in any democratic system of government. Concealment of Aspen's ballot images violates a high-level right: The right of the public to examine and authenticate all essential components of public elections. Ultimately, Aspen's decision to conceal ballot images from public scrutiny violates all of the following:
(1) the Constitutional frame ("We the People...do hereby ordain...),
(2) the Declaration of Independence (governments are formed to "secure these rights" and "derive their just powers from the consent of the governed") and
(3) the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (holding the sole source of legitimate political authority is the people of a nation).
AT ISSUE IN ASPEN:
Can a local government legally prohibit a citizen from examining anonymous digital images of the ballots? The City of Aspen seems to think so.

(MI) 12/09 - DETROIT: BALLOTS COUNTED FROM EMPTY BALLOT BOXES -
You know, the CPAs are great allies for voting rights. Marilyn Marks, the plaintiff in a controversial ballot open records case in Aspen Colorado is a former CPA; we now have a Detroit candidate who is a CPA. His campaign manager is also a CPA, and they refused to buckle under when they ran into the ol' buffalo shuffle in Detroit.
The article below details fascinating problems with ballot and vote accounting in the recent Detroit mayoral election.
MY PERSONAL FAVORITE: Votes were counted and certified from two absentee ballot boxes which happened to be empty.
Unfortunately, Michigan can be one of the most obstructive states in the nation when it comes to requesting public records. I take my hat off to these guys for digging their heels in and insisting on a careful examination of the records.
I just got off the phone with Tom Barrow to confirm the authenticity of this information. I think we can all look forward to follow-up information on this:
BARROW RECOUNT OF MAYORAL BALLOTS FINDS WIDE-SPREAD VOTER IRREGULARITIES
Empty Ballot Boxes, Breached Seals, Missing Absentee Ballots, Mar November 3rd Election
December 18 (Detroit) --- Former mayoral candidate Tom Barrow has turned a routine recount of election precincts into a sweeping indictment of the entire conduct of elections in Detroit when he discovered empty ballot boxes and numerous ballot boxes with security seals which been breached, disqualifying tens of thousands of votes in the November 3, 2009 general election from being recountable.
"The problems we had suspected since the Primary pale in comparison to what we have discovered so far with nearly 52% of Absentee ballot boxes we have tested so far being uncountable because of breached security seals," said Barrow, 60, "what is at stake is the very foundation of our representative system of government and administration of what should be transparent fair and verifiable elections."
One egregious discovery by the professionals on the Wayne County recount team Thursday was that the Detroit Board of Canvassers and Detroit's Election' S Officials had actually certified two ballot boxes that were empty of the several hundred votes they were certified to contain.
In a statement before the Wayne County Board of Canvassers, Barrow cited numerous violations that could jeopardize the certification of the election and installation of ... More
(NY) 11/09 - IMPOSSIBLE NUMBERS CERTIFIED IN NY-23 RACE
For several days now, I have been in close communication with Richard Hayes Phillips, author of WITNESS TO A CRIME, a book detailing his findings when conducting a ballot examination after the 2004 Ohio election. Phillips lives in NY-23, the site of one of the nation's most controversial political races in 2009.
Today, he wrote a disturbing article about the impossible numbers certified by election officials in the NY-23 race. I'll reprint portions of that article below; first, let me share the comments of V. Kurt Bellman, former elections director for Berks County, Pennsylvania, concerning what an election official should do when asked to sign off on mathematically impossible numbers:
quote:"Not even ONE mathematically impossible number gets even one 'cell' on any document I would need to sign," writes Bellman, "and anyone who might try to get me to sign it needs to be prepared to see the inside of another kind of 'cell."
There is no doubt that New York election officials are under the gun, and NY-23 districts are no exception. New York locations are being pushed into abandoning their cost-effective and trusty old mechanical lever machines to implement new Sequoia/Dominion ImageCast optical scanners. This change was not embraced by many of the New York elections officials, who are now struggling to explain machine failures in many different counties, and in NY-23, officials were certainly under massive pressure to sign off on the numbers, and they probably never had never dealt with NEGATIVE numbers before.
That said, the traditional method of tampering with a lever machine, is to "roll back the odometer" so that before the day starts, you have your guy at +25 and the other guy at -25, and at the end of the day after the votes all roll in, all the numbers match the number of votes cast. Unless, of course, the other guy only got 24 votes, in which case it all comes unraveled.
It is exactly this "roll back the odometer" tactic that WE used when hacking the optical scan memory card, as seen in the film Hacking Democracy and in this short video (which also shows that -- unlike the lever machines -- the counter can read "zero" at the beginning of the day with software-driven systems, even when votes have been preloaded):

Whew. Ready to read the whole article by Richard Hayes Phillips, detailing the an... More
(ME) 11/09 - TOOLS TO HELP EXAMINE CONTROVERSIAL ROLLBACK OF GAY RIGHTS IN MAINE ELECTION -
This week, Maine rolled back gay marriage rights, just as California did last year with Prop 8. Many of our members have contacted us to request information on how to investigate the Maine election. Here are some tools, and you don't need to live in Maine to dig in.
Maine election jurisdictions are municipalities, not counties, and there are about 535 of them. Most of the Maine population votes on Diebold(bought by ES&S) scanners of the type we hacked in "Hacking Democracy." Some of the Maine population votes on ES&S Optech scanners. Some Maine residents have their votes hand counted.
ALL MAINE VOTING MACHINES ARE PROGRAMMED BY A SINGLE OUTFIT IN MASSACHUSETTS, called LHS Associates. I wouldn't hire those guys to walk my dog. One of the key people is a convicted felon. The other -- well, you be the judge, here he is interrupting a New Hamsphire legislative hearing on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiiaBqwqkXs
One of the first things citizens can do is to compare hand count to machine count locations for results. Also, compare the ES&S locations to the Diebold. Maine has perhaps the most voter-friendly recount system in the United States. I believe it's about $10,000 to hand count the whole state. So that's another option -- if anyone decides to go for that, let me know. As most of you know, Black Box Voting has experience in tracking chain of custody on these things.
It's darn hard to even find which municipality uses which system, so Black Box Voting obtained this from the Maine Secretary of State. Here is a link to a spreadsheet that breaks out each municipality by system used:
http://www.bbvdocs.org/ME/state/Maine-voting-systems.xls
(1,238 KB)
In the New Hampshire 2004 primary, the Accuvote (Diebold) and Optech (ES&S) machines reportedly got very different results. Maybe one is harder to rig than the other, I dunno. New Hampshire then dumped all its ES&S machines and now has only LHS Associates-programmed Diebold Accuvote machines owned by ES&S -- because, of course, ES&S bought Diebold so it's all one monopolistic vendor now. In Maine, they still use two different machine models. And all of New England handed control of the programming over to LHS Associates.
In case you're wondering about what's going on with the antitrust investigation of the ES&S monopoly move, the US Dept. of Justice wrote to Black Box Voting to let us k... More
4-22-09: Arizona A.G. releases results ... questions linger
by Jim March, with addendum by Bev Harris
Arizona AG Releases Official RTA Results:
Election A Clean Bill Of Health, Pima County Elections...Not So Much...
THE OFFICIAL BOTTOM LINE
At a press conference today in Tucson, AZ Attorney General Terry Goddard released the results of the 2006 Pima County RTA election handcount. His office says that most ballots are present and accounted for save for less than 100, and the hand count totals match the machine count of 2006 to within .01% - variances of 300 to 500 votes between the two questions, in an election with over 120,000 votes cast.
This seems to be an end to the RTA controversy...but not quite.
WHAT ABOUT THE MISSING BALLOTS?
Former NSA computer guru Mickey Dunahoe went over the high-resolution video of the handcount this week, and managed to do his own accurate-to-the-ballot count of a precinct box. This precinct contained around 1,500 ballots – filling the 12” tall box to the brim without overstuffing. The count we had managed to perform during the election was of a box of mail-in votes, counting about 1,240 or so before box-bulging began.
This would indicate that mail-in votes were literally thicker cardstock than the precinct votes. By basing our count estimates on thicker mail-in votes, our estimates on the precinct vote were off by up to 300 votes a box (with 55 precinct boxes).
When asked about the difference, the AG's office admitted not even noticing a possible difference in paper stock for the ballots.
We'll be getting the full paper trail from this "investigation" soon, and will try to revisit this and other issues.
OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE HAND COUNT
The AG's office made three mistakes with the handcount process.
* They didn't try and do a tally of counted precinct votes against either the original statement of votes cast (SOVC) report or against the polltapes and/or pollworker “end of day report” (also known as “the yellow sheet” in Arizona). IF the paper record was manipulated, it would be easier to fake the numbers for vote totals rather than try and get fake paper ballots lined up in the correct ballot boxes. Auditing to a precinct detail level is a barrier against paper swap or alteration frauds.
* They didn't attempt to confirm paper ballot authenticity with spot-checks under a microscope or ink age analysis, or even an informal look at why the same ballot boxes hold more precinct ballots than absentee ballots.
