What Does Election Fraud Look Like?
By Michael Richardson
http://www.opednews.comSNIP....That was then and this now. Old-fashioned ballot boxes have been replaced by electronic voting machines that remove the human element. Instead of stuffed ballot boxes, election fraud in the computer age looks like "undervotes". Self-deleting malicious computer software code can now steal or flip votes and then delete any trace that election fraud occurred
In 2006, some 18,000 "undervotes" in Sarasota, Florida have likely changed the outcome of a Congressional race and everyone is scrambling to find a reason. Probably the voters themselves will be blamed. The Congressional race was on the same screen as the Governor contest and already "ballot design" is the leading excuse. The idea is that voters were not bright enough to figure out there were two places to vote. Another theory that is more complimentary to the voters is that they decided to boycott the Congressional race because it was such a dirty campaign. That notion might even hold some water if other voters in the district also "undervoted" in large numbers--but they didn't, just those on the paperless machines.
If the election officials in Sarasota cannot succeed in blaming the voters then unknown, but innocent "glitches" in the machines will be the culprit. The idea that a single person might have been able to steal 18,000 votes without detection will not be entertained. However, it should be.
In this modern age of electronic voting machines, election fraud looks like "undervotes". There will never be more proof, no cyber fingerprints, no confessions, just "undervotes" that can never be figured out. Failure to recognize what modern election fraud looks like dooms us to more of it.
The solution is hand counting paper ballots in the open, in full view of the public.
