Ohio recount: An opportunity to examine computers/software?

[lthuedk]

Particularly in the most suspicious counties. Should the same machines be used in the recount, the "late hour adjustment" will be in play. The auditing process should be absolutely scrupulous from scanner through central tabulator. No closed door tabulations.

A computer specialist should be present in each of the suspicious counties to assess any peculiar jumps in recounts. This would not require more than a handful of specialists.

Blackwell should be approached publicly on this issue as soon as possible. If Blackwell is reluctant to allow this transparency, he should be asked why.

1. Proprietary code, The machine code is not Blackwells to show

it belongs to the private company that owns the voting machine

4. Its the manifestation of the code that might be important.

Couldn't anomalies be revealed if percentages for each candidate suddenly change over time? I wonder if there's a way to examine scanner results periodically, so that a graph could be made (count/time interval).

Or, precinct totals be at odds with central tabulation?

2. Remember there are 2 issues Voter SUPRESSION and Voter FRAUD

We need to make sure we discuss things in this context. I think we have a better chance with Voter Supression. There is evidence to that effect in the thousands of affidavits. We can make people go to jail over Voter Supression.

Voter Fraud is more difficult to prove. Plus it will never get to the RNC like the Voter Supression will. Voter Supression can be directed right from the pricincts directly to Blackwell then linked to KKKarl and the RNC.

5. It's not VOTER fraud

the voters didn't do anything but vote...it's ELECTION fraud. Please refer to it as election fraud.

3. Actually, we need to get the binaries off these machines

As I posted here, we could get back to the original source code:
