NJ election cover-up By Andrew Appel Freedom to Tinker September 13, 2011
During the June 2011 New Jersey primary election, something went wrong in Cumberland County, which uses Sequoia AVC Advantage direct-recording electronic voting computers. From this we learned several things: 1. New Jersey court-ordered election-security measures have not been effectively implemented. 2. There is a reason to believe that New Jersey election officials have destroyed evidence in a pending court case, perhaps to cover up the noncompliance with these measures or to cover up irregularities in this election. There is enough evidence of a cover-up that a Superior Court judge has referred the matter to the State prosecutor's office. 3. Like any DRE voting machine, the AVC Advantage is vulnerable to software-based vote stealing by replacing the internal vote-counting firmware. That kind of fraud probably did not occur in this case. But even without replacing the internal firmware, the AVC Advantage voting machine is vulnerable to the accidental or deliberate swapping of vote-totals between candidates. It is clear that the machine misreported votes in this election, and both technical and procedural safeguards proved ineffective to fully correct the error. ... https://freedom-to-tinker.com/blog/appel/nj-election-cover Did NJ election officials fail to respect court order to improve security of elections? https://freedom-to-tinker.com/blog/appel/did-nj-election-officials-fail-respect-court-order-improve-security-elections Will the NJ Attorney General investigate the NJ Attorney General? https://freedom-to-tinker.com/blog/appel/will-nj-attorney-general-investigate-nj-attorney-general What happens when the printed ballot face doesn't match the electronic ballot definition? https://freedom-to-tinker.com/blog/appel/what-happens-when-printed-ballot-face-doesnt-match-electronic-ballot-definition http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~appel/voting/nj-election-cover-up.pdf _______________________________________________ Medianews mailing list [email protected] http://lists.etskywarn.net/mailman/listinfo/medianews
