“In the Cuyahoga case, the poll workers are charged with circumventing state recount laws that require a random sampling of at least three percent of the votes cast in a given precinct, to be recounted by hand and by machine. The prosecution charges that the workers instead hand picked sample precincts to recount that they knew did not have questionable results. Once they were able to match those recounts with official results, they could then do the rest of the recount by machine, in effect rendering the entire process meaningless. “This was a very hush operation,” said prosecutor Baxter. Similar allegations have been made in other counties. Indeed, such illegal non-random recounting procedures appear to have been common throughout the state, carried out by board of election employees with the tacit consent of Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell”, according to an article in “The Free Press”

      Now I know I’m living in a black hole. First the story about the retraction of the story about radio transmitters in Canadian coins disappeared. Then my comment on this thread, the on-topic thread having disappeared, asking what happened disappeared. I didn’t used to be paranoid, but . . .

      In defense of Cyber and Wyle or anyone with a Government contract, the rules are constantly shifting (too many chiefs, not enough indians) so therefore so does the testing procedure, so its hard to gain a solid footing sometimes, especially with new technologies, that being said, they are GOP owned and operated so show them no mercy, drive them into full compliance or into oblivion
