Beth Clarkson thinks there were vote counting anomalies in the Dem LA primary.

She found the same sorts of problems that she found in OK. Here's a graph that gives an indication of the problems. She checked the Dem primary of course, but she thinks that Trump may have been cheated as well since there are hints in both cases that the votes for Hillary and for Trump's chief rival were higher as the population size increased.

This is not by any means certain of course but it is very much worth investigating. It's impossible to investigate the LA primary because the machines DO NOT EVEN HAVE A PAPER TRAIL. But if Bernie could be persuaded to ask for an audit of some of the primary results, in MA for example, and maybe in some to come (MI if the results don't ring true), I think he very likely would find discrepancies between the paper count and the machine tallies.

Here's the newest chart that Beth has worked out, this one for LA:

1. Go figure. Brad has been saying it for years. So

has Greg Palast and many others.

We let ourselves be distracted with BS at our own peril.

It is in the voting machines, and we ignore it.

2. I wonder if the phenomenon is most apparent in limited areas.

Dividing up the state into smaller units and examining how closely the tally for the area reflects this anomalous pattern might be very informative. The software "glitch" that would account for such results may not be in all the machines.

Although a recount is impossible without paper ballots, there would certainly be a justification for auditing the software, particularly if the pattern can be attributed to a subset of machines.

Perhaps verified voting, or other group, is already doing this, but if not, any ideas on who would be the best organization to contact about feasibility/usefulness?

3. Bradblog has the answers you seek.

Not at home, phone is dead.

Will try to get you more later.
