‘Phantom Vote’ for Obama Found on NJ’s Failed Sequoia E-Voting Machines…

Curiouser and curiouser in New Jersey…

The mysteries keep piling up around the Sequoia voting machines used in New Jersey. This time Princeton University computer scientist Ed Felten has uncovered a phantom vote for Obama in summary tapes from three voting machines used in the state’s February 5th primary in Pennsauken District 6.

See Kim Zetter’s WIRED report for the details, where, incidentally, she notes, “no problem shows up for the Republican primary numbers.”

Lots of related stories here at The BRAD BLOG for additional context. Here’s the most recent.

    If a computer can change the vote count by one, the mechanism to change the vote by any amount exists inside the machine.

    If the mechanism is controllable and how it’s controlled are the next questions that need to be answered.

    Keep an open mind about this sort of thing happening (I am not voting for Obama, either)”¦
    It makes all the sense in the world for HILLARY’S handlers to do this.

    They want her to win at all costs (witness the missing Ron Paul option on ballots in Rockwell County NY, nation-wide vote fraud, and the recent ‘surprise upset win’ in PA).

    HilLIARy is David Rockefeller’s man. She is a Trilateralist, a CFR member, and possibly even more telling – a Bilderberg meeting attendee.

    Why does this phantom vote make ‘headlines’, when none of the others (going back to pre-2000 elections) did?

    Because they want Obama to fail, and their man HilLIARy to win, pure and simple. HilLIARy is a globalist – and globalism is their goal.

    This is nothing more than slight of hand, people, pure & simple. Pay no attention to this circus called an election.

    Instead focus on what’s happening with the “NAFTA on steroids” NAU, the SPP, the Trans-Texas Corridor, the Amero and their Coups d’gras, the soon-to-be-implanted-in-an-arm-near-you RFID chip.

    This is serious to your individual freedom, folks! This is why they stonewalled Dr Paul (more than once) and to a greater extent Dennis Kucinich – both excellent men.

    By the way – Blackwater, and very likely companies we haven’t yet learned about – have the contract to operate within the United States! They are the loyal citizens of America who confiscated New Orleans homeowners’ weapons after Katrina. Their former SEALS are probably who blew up the levee!

    This has been done before, people!!
    Read Rising Tide!

    THIS is what we should all be on top of!

    If you are wondering aout this, read Votescam….the most detailed research on the stolen vote… it is of course not published now, oh, and the authors were both killed in an armed robbery, in 2000, just before George controversially elected…

    Basically, electronic voting is fraudulent..

    read the book online –
