Question For A Mathematician: On Vote Stealing

[WillyT]

Since it would be rather obvious for a precinct to go 100 percent Bush, you would have to program the e-vote boxes to toss votes randomly to Bush, correct?

What would the number be, that would still make the vote look legit, but give Bush the win???

Every 18th vote goes Bush? Every 147th, every 2,842nd... ???

What sort of vote theft frequency would you have to set the machine to?

3. 2+2= 5 in Bush brain?

4. every sixth Kerry vote changed to a Bush vote.....

Whether you vote absentee, on touch-screens, or on paper ballot (fill in the bubble) optical scan machines, all votes are ultimately brought to the "mother ship," the central tabulator at the county which adds them all up and creates the results report.

These systems are used in over 30 states and each counts up to two million votes at once. . . ."

". . . By entering a 2-digit code in a hidden location, a second set of votes is created. This set of votes can be changed, so that it no longer matches the correct votes. The voting system will then read the totals from the bogus vote set. It takes only seconds to change the votes, and to date not a single location in the U.S. has implemented security measures to fully mitigate the risks. . . ."

The above as well as more information can be found at the following link (Bev Harris's site):

Perhaps the recent divergence in skewed polls are a preparation for another stolen election? Isn't it possible that keeping the polls skewed in Bush's favor before the election, there would be little questioning of the bogus results in the event that the GEMS tabulation "counts" the votes in not only Bush's favor, but those for the House and Senate as well?

There is additional information at the following urls, including 3 prominent Professors of Computer Science who have studied and noted the hugeness of the potential problem: (http://sonoran-desert.forclark.com/)

Dr. Avi Rubin at Johns Hopkins University(http://avirubin.com/vote/)

Dr. David Dill at Stanford University (http://www.verifiedvoting.org)

Dr. Rebecca Mercuri at Harvard University (http://www.notablesoftware.com/evote.html)

There is also a documentary film "Invisible Ballots" available, which features all of the 4 individuals noted above. It can be previewed and purchased at: http://www.invisibleballots.com

I and a few others are attempting to bring this huge hole in the Diebold central tabulator to the attention of people in a position to bring it way out into the spotlight so that it can be dealt with, if it isn't too late.
