Voting Result Irregularity - Summary

Thu, 18 Nov 2004 14:46:14 -0800

Stories listed in this section document apparent discrepancies between election results in electronic voting areas as compared to statistical expectations (since there is no other way to "check" the accuracy ofall-electronic election results).

Whether or not such issues turn out to have effected the outcome of a US election, the fact that such stories are being written demonstrates the petition's point that such un-verifiable voting technology is certainly contributing to a perceived lack of legitimacy in the US electoral system.

GAO Report Confirms Errors & Irregularities

Thu, 10 Nov 2005 16:15:17 -0800

The Free Press - October 26, 2005 - The latest critical confirmation of key indicators that the election of 2004 was stolen comes in an extremely powerful, penetrating report from the Government Accountability Office that has gotten virtually no mainstream media coverage.

The government's lead investigative agency is known for its general incorruptibility and its thorough, in-depth analyses. Its concurrence with assertions widely dismissed as "conspiracy theories" adds crucial new weight to the case that Team Bush has no legitimate business being in the White House.

New Ohio voter transcripts feed floodtide of doubt...

Sun, 28 Nov 2004 15:29:00 -0800

Among other irregularities and problems reported, this article presents sworn testimony by two voters who experienced problems with all-electronic voting machines in Ohio:

Janine Smith-White, Youngstown:
�I went to my polling place approximately about 9:45 to vote. I waited, I would say, 30 minutes in a line. When I did get to my machine, I pushed John Kerry and my vote immediately jumped up to George Bush. After I started screaming about them cheating again, the aide hurried up and came over and said, oh, that's been happening a lot. Just go ahead and push John Kerry again and I'm saying, you say that's been happening a lot and it hasn't been corrected? Yes, but we can't do anything about it. So I did push John Kerry again and the vote did stay on John Kerry. Even though I completed my voting and after I went over my ballot and I pushed the vote button, I'm still not sure that I voted for John Kerry because, I mean, did my first vote that went to George Bush count or did John Kerry count.�
