HBO Hacking Democracy The Pima County Way, Card Reader and RTA Election.

In the RTA election of May 16, 2006 more than 100 optical scanners failed on Election Day at various precincts.

Election day I was out inspecting precincts and once I found that a large number of optical scanners were failing to work at the precincts I called Rep. Ted Downing, (Chair of State Party Election Integrity committee) also (at that time) the Chair of our county party "Donna Branch-G". Both went to the election department to see what the problem was and that is when they found the Microsoft -Access manual open right next to the central tabulator.

Donna and Ted took pictures of this. Both were told that they had no oversight rights because this was a nonpartisan election thus stopping us from actually finding out if MS-access was on the system and if the central tabulator networked to other computers in the office. By the time we got to check the computer several months later the program was gone. However, we did find MS-Access on the Maricopa Election Department and that system count 58% of the vote state wide.

The Diebold-GEMS software is built on MS-Access program. It is illegal by state law to have software that has not been approved and or certified by the SOS office such as MS- Access. This is because MS Access easily backdoors the database and one could change anything they want by passing the GEMS Audit log.

To make it worse the normal backup which was always done EVERY election night and/or major event was not until the following Friday at 5:01pm.

Additional Facts: In the case of the RTA, the election department after processing 13,000 early ballots 6 days out, went in early the next morning and did a backup over that database destroying that file called "early ballots day 1" and replaced it with a new day 1 backup, then illegally printed (5 days before the election) 2 election summary reports 10 minutes apart. These reports by law are not supposed to be printed until one hour after the polls close. Such a process took many computer moves that could never be a simple "slip of the finger".

Fact: Even though Brian Crane told the Judge Miller this was a normal practice, examination of the computer logs showed this had only been done one other time since 2000. In actuality, Bryan Crane did backups at lunch and before he went home at night.

Vendors, that is an awesome description to these people. Why? When you have a soda machine in your lunchroom you have a choice of what goes in that soda machine or you find another vendor that will cater to your needs. Hence someone has found a vendor that will cater to their needs to the outcome of all these elections. Its that simple.
