‘Daily Voting News’ For December 06, 2006

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org

A county supervisor in Riverside Co. California has opened his mouth and may regret it. He has challenged the local advocacy group, SaveRVote, to bring in a computer expert and hack their Sequoia voting machines. They say it can’t be done and are challenging someone to come in and prove them wrong. Any takers? / Recently EAC Commissioner Donnetta Davidson spoke before the “Florida State Association of Supervisor of Elections”. Witnesses to that speech have reported that Ms. Davidson expressed concern that Democrats won control of the Senate in the recent election. Her concern? She stated that she had promises from Republicans in the Senate that legislation requiring a voter verified paper audit trail and audits would never come to the floor. Ms. Davidson’s statements seem to be neither independent nor bipartisan and show a willingness to play politics rather than work for the good of the voter….

      I thought I could get through all of them without commenting, but the last one was astounding
      “Of the 11 million votes registered, only 30 blank votes were cast.”
      I don’t know what to say, except someone either here or there is pulling our leg

      Re: the Riverside challenge to a hack… Will it be the sort of contest as previously was yammered about by the e-voting proponents where the e-voting machine and working conditions are carefully set up in advance by the corporations… and no one was silly enough to walk into that trap?

      Remember: e-voting proponents were still trumpeting that “challenge” far and wide as proof of machine invulnerability … regardless of the fact that it never happened.
