With Florida precincts firmly under the control of partisan officials, the issue of dimpled chads seems to have taken a fast track off everyones radar screen post election. For good reason me thinks, as Rush recently pointed out that the only way he was able to create a dimpled chad was by stacking more than one ballot at a time into the mechanism.
This fact casts doubt on the precinct captains and wether or not there was a bit of chicanery going on. Like folks being given two, three or even four ballots, hence the preponderance of evidence suggests that Precincts where Loyalty was ranked high, statisticly produced the dimpled undervotes.
Coincidence or just another smoking gun for why election reform needs to take place?
We need state of the art voting, which includes voice,photo or fingerprint, ID, with on line check in, voter rolls need to be matched on the input and output side.
One way of doing this would be to have a private agency take a digital picture of registered voters, then when the voter goes to the polls their picture comes up and the supervisor checks it against the face, this system is not fraud proof either but the fraud points have their own checks and balances which cannot be discussed here. |
