BBVers: Chief Programmer for Diebold
Edited on Wed May-26-04 04:50 PM by kaitykaity
on the Ed Shultz program saying he's willing
to give a demonstration of how to alter the source
code in a voting machine?

Is Schultz being scammed?? The guy said he's based
in Houston. Had a heavy Indian accent.

1. I heard that too
What he is talking about, source code, is what makes the program work. Something like:
if lever A is pulled
then demvotes = demvotes + 1
If lever B is pull
then repvotes = repvotes + 1

That would be the legit coding. So all they would have to do is code it:
if lever A is pulled
then demvotes = repvotes + 1
If lever B is pull
then repvotes = repvotes + 1

That is a simplified example, they would have to have it happen at different intervals or by some algorithm, but that is all there is to it.

4. Their programmers have been based in Vancouver and McKinney
Is he a former programmer?

I'd have to check, but the only East Indian I saw in the personnel roster who did programming for Diebold was a woman.

This is either huge or a hoax.

5. Have you ever been on Shultz's show?
Does he know about you?

He has a web site, and he reads his email. You could
set him straight.
