So what do the 18,181 election results have to do with Bev's work?

Just curious because this rather odd coincidence happened, then seemed to vanish. Yes, I know that there were some "excuses" but was it ever fully explained?

Seems like it just fell into the abys.

Is this what got everyone interested in the code and private ownership of it?

"Computerized voting machines in the 2002 election did all kinds of weird things: if you pressed the Democrat's name in some counties in Texas, for example, the Republican's name was chosen. And in Cormal County, Texas, three Republican candidates won by exactly 18,181 votes apiece. There's the kind of coincidence the FBI loves. But it gets even more amazing: in two other races elsewhere in this great nation, Republicans won by--wait for it--18,181 votes. The odds of this are similar to the odds of waking up on the surface of Mars with your underwear on your head and a bowling trophy gripped between your knees. These results were eventually 'adjusted', proving it was all just a wacky coincidence. But how can we know? Because there is no physical evidence of how a vote was cast. No punch card, no paper ballot, no twig with notches in it."

2. Yeah,

it's all that "adjusting" I object to. I also wonder how this happened. Maybe Bev Harris can connect it, if anyone can. Or some of the great DUers who are helping her. I wish I knew enough to understand it all. I get the gist of it, but the fine print eludes me.

4. I remember this. What's Bev's take on this?

It will suffice here to cite a couple of specific examples ﾖ these are excerpts from the soon to be published " Black Box Voting: Ballot Tampering In The 21st Century". These examples of actual events are consistent with the existence and use of an electronic vote counting hack described above.

...

November 2002, Comal County, Texas - A Texas-sized lack of curiosity about discrepancies: The uncanny coincidence of three winning Republican candidates in a row tallying up exactly 18,181 votes each was called weird, but apparently no one thought it was weird enough to audit. Conversion to alphabet: 18181 18181 18181 ahaha ahaha ahaha
