‘Daily Voting News’ For November 25, 2005

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org

It seems that the reports from California are less than accurate. They say that the test machine will be chosen from among machines used in 17 counties. That has never been agreed to by the state or Diebold. In fact, Hari Hursti has never been invited to fly over from Finland and no details have been set-up with BBV, according to Bev Harris. For some reason either the state or Diebold, or both, are misrepresenting the facts. A call to the California Elections Division found that everyone seems to be taking the day off….

      Yeah, it’s pretty shocking, isn’t it (that only 6 votes flipping from Kerry to Bush would have been enough to swing the whole election)?! This is one of the reasons I am loathe to rely on less-than-100% hand recounts.

      And you can be sure that any county official who found their numbers were "only" 6 votes off would say that was no big deal, since it wouldn’t be enough to change the election results.
