The Arizona state senate is pulling the wool over someone’s eyes. They have put forth a bill to do a hand count audit of all ballots from 10 randomly selected precincts in the state’s two largest counties. However, the bill also says that the audit results cannot be used in place of the machine count, even if there are problems found. Maryland Gov. Ehrlich is trying to find a way to pay for a change of voting systems but some in the state Senate are doing all they can to squelch that plan. And in New Jersey a lawsuit against the use of Sequoia machines in the state is progressing….

    1. That AZ law is frightening. Is this law in the early stages? I assume it has not been passed yet.

      It is unbelievable that they would be so brazen as to mandate hand recounts but then say the results of a hand audit cannot be used to affect the vote tally.

      Shudder.

    2. So if the hand count is one thing, and the machine count is another, of course, the machine count is right???! Machines are only as good as the data entered into them – GIGO –

    3. Florida and Ohio enacted some anti-voter recount
      and audit laws to the books too.

      It is a brazen/naked display of hubris – "We can game election results via the electronic voting equipment,… no documentation for voting/balloting
      has been created,… no ability to audit the results,..
      the voter tabulations are stored in the electronic machines,… and that result is the only record,…
      the final word to determine the victorious winner."

      "We hi-jacked the election,.. erased all evidence,..
      left no foot prints,… the ability to audit/analyze
      the results are by design,.. nonexistent.

      DON"T BE A SORE LOOSER –
      JUST GET OVER IT AND LET"S MOVE ON !!!

      Why is it Demo’s hate America so much ?

    4. I can’t believe how they are blatantly making absurd laws to hold onto the corruption they’ve got. It’s unbelievable. Keep posting stuff like this. Otherwise we’d never know about it, and that’s how it happened in the first place.

    5. The increasingly certain method for detecting election fraud is going to come from exit poll science:

      "Exit polling is a well-developed science, informed by half a century of experience and continually improving methodology" (link here, page 7, bold added. See also Polling and presidential Election Coverage, Lavrakas, Paul J, and Holley, Jack K., eds., Newbury Park, CA: Sage; pp. 83-99).

      It is the number one weapon against fraudulent elections. But as with most fraud, the strength and the weakness in all systems is in the people of the system.

      We know that "Edison/Mitofsky samples voters for a nationwide exit poll as well as for each state’s exit poll" (ibid).

      We know then, where the attack to establish the coverup will come from. We can expect a major movement to corrupt Edison/Mitofsky from the inside.

      Lets take a look around and check them out.
