Raw Story: Additional Triad video finds 'conspiracy to thwart hand recount
Edited on Thu Dec-23-04 05:01 PM by rawstory
Adding onto Mr. Pitt's story. The source has been extremely reliable to date; expect the actual video probably tomorrow.

Source says new Triad video shows ‘conspiracy to thwart actual Ohio hand recount’

By John Byrne | RAW STORY Editor

A video shot by a documentary filmmaker suggests that an Ohio voting firm sought to thwart the recount of actual paper ballots, a source who has seen the tape tells RAW STORY.

The filmmaker, Lynda Byrket, recorded the re-creation of a Triad Election Systems technician showing how he reconfigured at tabulating machine in Hocking County, Ohio.

The film was made Dec. 20 when independent observers sought to recreate and explain what actually took place after a local elections official signed an affidavit saying the company had tampered with the machines and posted a “cheat sheet” to allow those recounting the vote to bypass paper ballots.

In the film, Triad says the purpose of the “cheat sheet” is to allow was so the counters would know if they missed an overvote.

“Triad pretty much admits that the purpose of the cheat sheet is to foreclose the possibility of the county finding a discrepancy between the hand count and machine count,” the source, who asked not to be named because of their employment, told RAW STORY. “If mid-count they figure out some undervotes are real votes, they can go back and try again.

I'll be looking forward to watching it!:toast:


BTW, I take it this is a video "based" on actual events and not the actual occurance?

3. No...
This is when the police officer came down when they were investigating the Eaton affidavit -- they recreated it to 'prove' they hadn't tampered with the machines' count.

2. unreal!



With all the dirty deeds and deals it is unbelievable that there aren't more whistleblowers.

Someone has got to step up and tell us more.
