Yahoo! News - Machine Error Gives Bush Extra Ohio Votes

Yahoo! News - Machine Error Gives Bush Extra Ohio Votes

Black Box Voting (dot org) is investigating reports of electronic voting irregularities and is filing a freedom of information request for the blackboxes on over 3000 voting machines.

Davis Foulger defends this action against those who would say it's just "sour grapes": Before you dismiss this as meaningless, note that the difference in Ohiois currently 130,000 votes. If the one machine that we have a report onis extrapolated to other machines (and that may or may not be areasonable thing to do), Bush would get that many votes from only 34machines. The issue may or may not be fraud, but if it is, there aremany more than 34 electronic voting machines in Ohio and Florida.

Black Box Voting - Bev Harris - one of the leading groups doing voting machine investigations. A nonpartisan, nonprofit, consumer protection group for elections.
