20 Voters File Complaint Alleging Touch-Screen Vote-Flipping in Montgomery County, OH
County's Election Director, Steve Harsman, Wholly Clueless...
BLOGGED BY Brad Friedman ON 3/9/2007
And still another complaint registered against DRE/touch-screen voting systems. It's Diebold's turn again this time. According to the Dayton Daily News...
DAYTON — A legal rights advocacy group wants Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner to investigate complaints from
about 20 voters that Montgomery County's [Diebold] touch screen electronic voting machines changed their votes during
the November election.
The avalanche of these types of complaints and lawsuits is just beginning, people. Will Congress and Elections Officials
figure it out any time soon?
In any case, it doesn't look like Montgomery County's Election Director, Steve Harsman, has joined the rest of us here
in Reality Land yet.
Even after the story linked above detailed a member of the board of elections who "said the machine he used would not record his vote" properly, Harsman told the paper that "he believes most of the
problems can be explained by voters unfamiliarity with the new machines, rather than equipment failure."
The BRAD BLOG begs to respectfully disagree with Harsman. We believe most of the problems can instead be explained by Mr. Harsman's overfamiliarity with the bullshit he's been peddled by Diebold, in addition to a complete Election Director failure.
E-Voting - Game Over. We win. They lose. Move on. Get over it. The only question now is how long it takes them to get it
and how many more elections jerks like Harsman are willing to see trashed (and how many voters he's willing to trash
along the way.)
