DIEBOLD MANUAL OVERRIDE/ pt 3: Back Door Security Hole

January 29, 2008--SARASOTA, FLORIDA 2008
Part 3: BACK DOOR SECURITY HOLE in the DIEBOLD/ PREMIER CENTRAL TABULATING SYSTEM...

Well--new year, new system, SAME OLD PROBLEMS. Seems there is a back door to Diebold software that not many of us had considered--the ability to completely override the central tabulator MANUALLY FROM THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS OFFICE.

Okay, no biggie, as long as someone representing BOTH PARTIES is on hand, WATCHING to make sure the CORRECT NUMBERS are being entered into the system...right?

Oddly enough, FLORIDA SECRETARY OF STATE, KURT BROWNING issued a letter advising SARASOTA SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS, KATHY DENT, that "election code is silent about who is permitted in the tabulation room
to observe..."

BROWNING also argues that "tabulating"
is not "counting". This missive barred some of FLORIDA's most renown election and computer experts (including the amazing Susan Pynchon "Hacking Democracy"/ Ellen Brodsky of BROWARD COUNTY)from witnessing YOUR VOTE BEING COUNTED...or NOT COUNTED...or PURGED, ERASED, SHREDDED, TRASHED or now--even OVERRIDDEN.

I was not allowed in the tabulation room, but was forced to film from outside the "election terrarium", behind glass, from 20 feet away. If it hadn't been for a sharp eyed OBSERVER who was allowed to view the TABULATION ROOM and the MODEM UPLOADS, I could not have confirmed what I thought saw and filmed...a manual override of the central tabulator by election officials--who for some reason don't want you to watch them.

I have been haunted by these events of JAN. 29th, 2008...hoping this video will shed some light on this knee-slapping, horror story: the nation's unreliable voting systems and the felon-vendors who profit from them. Even more egregious, at least in PART 1, is the yammering of the MADDENING MEDIA. This video is as much of an
indictment of them, as it is of our failed voting systems.

Good video--very, very bad day.

Please help me circulate this and part 1 part series, as it will probably be my FLORIDA ELECTION VIDEO SWAN SONG...
I figure it doesn't get any better AND worse than this! Nowhere to go but UP and down. And up and down. And up...

Thanks!
Jeannie Dean

This is REALLY telling. How many ordinary citizens know that election officials can change the vote totals to whatever they wish, presumably to make the totals match what they have as precinct totals? Kind of defeats the purpose of machine tabulation, doesn't it? of course given the fraud inherent in machine tabulation, maybe the pencil method is a step in the right direction!!
