Interview with source on electronic vote fraud - TX

[treadlightly]

Electronic voting systems in Texas do not allow officials to follow an important point in election law.

Election officias are required to allow review of a specimen ballot in each format used in every election.

A specimen ballot is not a sample ballot, which is a depiction of a ballot.

A specimen is an actual ballot, kept secure at the election clerk's office and available for review by any citizen.

I have been denied the right to review a specimen ballot in the format actually counted, the electronic zeros and ones that constitute an actual paperless ballot.

Without getting too lengthy, this hamstrings the ability to audit ballot data and has toppled election integrity in certain elections in the past.

Now here's the weird part. I've been hammering this shortfall in election compliance to officials since about 2005, and have never, ever, in even one case gotten an interested response from any politician.

We're talking 100's of letters and phone calls.

Chilling... There is no election integrity with the ballot counting systems currently in use. Unless literally caught in the act there is no way to know that your vote wasn't changed, and there is no way to know it has been counted or recorded correctly, along with all the other votes cast. With no reasonable assurance of election integrity, we do not have representative Government.

Damn... election corruption is so endemic that our representatives at State and Federal level must act.
I'll keep praying.
