1. Hey, there's Tod Rapp again!

Anderson said that in 1988, the Triad workers were fixing problems with the machines caused by a lightning strike. Triad president Tod Rapp concurred in a letter to Anderson.
Beville disputes that the weather had anything to do with the repair work.

But even it if did, "My question is, why was it a secret? The party chairmen were not called in. The canvassing board was not notified. The Division of Elections was not notified.

"Why was I forbidden to mention it? If the party chairmen and division had been notified, it may not have been a big deal. But it should have been made public. Everyone has a right to know."

Beville said state law allows minor changes, such as correcting misspelled names on the ballot, to occur without the supervisor having to get the system recertified. But if the computer program is altered, which she claims is what occurred in 1988, the tabulation system must be recertified.

However, a memorandum from the Division of Elections seems to contradict that. It reads: "Modification of the election system software would require recertification; however, modification of parameters is not the same as a modification of the election system. . . . Modification and creation of election parameters is a normal operation which must occur for each election on all systems."

Psephology is the predictive or statistical study of elections. (From the ancient Greek psephos, 'pebble', which the Greeks used as ballots.)

Psephology: the study of voting patterns comes from the Greek word psephos, meaning pebble. In their ancient democracy, Athenians voted by casting pebbles into an urn.

Psephology is possible for a variety of reasons: the compilation of precinct voting returns for all elections going back many years, the publication of numerous public opinion polls asking similar questions on many different dates, and the public availability of campaign finance information. As a result of all these, and other factors, there are fewer and fewer election result surprises over time.
