2000 Florida Election may have been hacked!

Leon County's Ion Sancho Believes Electronic Manipulation of Votes Occurred in Florida's Contested Presidential Race!

Fallout Continues to Rock E-Voting World in Light of Recent Hack Demo of Machines made by Diebold, Inc.

MACON, GA. (www.bradblog.com)- The "hack test" of a mock election using Diebold voting equipment earlier this week in Leon County, Florida -- in which results of the election were completely flipped from 2-6 to 7-1 without even a trail of evidence left behind -- has continued to send shockwaves from Florida to Ohio to California and everywhere else in between.

The Director of Elections in Leon County, Ion Sancho reportedly proclaimed, after the stunning results of last Tuesday's test, that he would never use Diebold voting machines in any election in the county again.

Television news coverage began hitting last night in Tallahassee, the Florida state capital, which also happens to be in Leon County. And in a remarkable admission, Sancho now says he believes that such a hack occurred in the 2000 Presidential Election in Volusia County, Florida.

Elections Official: Some Voting Machines Could Be Hacked



POSTED: 12:17 pm EST December 15, 2005
UPDATED: 4:35 pm EST December 16, 2005



Voting machines used in four Central Florida counties might be flawed.

There's new evidence that computer hackers could change election results without anyone knowing about it, WESH 2 News reported.

The supervisor of elections in Tallahassee tested voting machines several times over the last several months, and on Monday, his workers were able to hack into a voting machine and change the outcome. He said that same thing might have happened in Volusia County in 2000.

The big controversy revolves around a little black computer card that is smaller than a floppy disk and bigger than a flash drive. The card is inserted into voting machines that scan paper ballots. The card serves as the machine's electronic brain.

2. I still say the Dems should
Hack these machines for 2006 to give themselves majorities in the House and Senate. Then sit back and watch all the crooked hypocrites cry 'foul' and and admit the machines are insecure.

There is no 'may have been', anyone who's crunched the numbers and has an IQ over 100 can see very clearly that the last several elections were manipulated on a massive scale.

The 'ruling elite', in their blind quest for dominance, forgets about the critical mass they are fueling into a nationwide meltdown. The longer this shit continues, the more severe the reprecussions will be.

10. isn't it Volusia county
That had a major problem in 2000? Wasn't there an accusation way after the fact of vote flipping? In the middle of the night gore suddenly was way behind. Was that when Volusia posted results? Help me here I am trying to remember.

12. Ion Sancho is a good man, and honest.
Leon county was one of like two in the whole state that didn't have any election problems in 2000. They use simple paper ballots you mark with a pen and optical scanners. While he defended other elections supervisors against criticism, which I believe speaks more to his character than to whether or not he believed them wrong, I remember seeing him in line to watch Farenheit 9/11 during opening week at the only theater in Tallahassee that was showing it.
