MOONSHINE MATH IN KENTUCKY
Kentucky never has accounted for its 2006 election math, as can be seen by
examining the data reports published by the Election Assistance Commission
(EAC)
That file contains the raw data submitted by each secretary of state, with
details right down to the number of absentee ballots in the wrong envelope and
the reasons voters were taken off lists. What it DOESN'T contain, however, is
the number of votes counted in Kentucky in the 2006 General Election. When you
search the minimal information presented in news reports back then, you see a
glimmer of a hint that Kentucky had a statewide voting computer meltdown in
2006.
Kentucky submitted thousands of data points for the EAC 2006 survey for every
one of its 120 counties but omitted -- you guessed it -- the votes. Results
have been posted on Web sites, but I find myself wondering, given the
all-too-real 2006 meltdown of the voting tally system in 96 counties, whether
people in the Kentucky Secretary of State's office may have been reluctant to
sign a federally required report committing to those very problematic results.
THE BULLITT COUNTY MISMATCH WENT STATEWIDE
Bullitt County, Kentucky citizen Kathy Greenwell could have told you that was
going to happen. Her husband ran for sheriff in November 2006, and while she
obtained copies to match up the voting machine results tapes with the announced
results she discovered they didn't match. None of them.
Here's the article by Black Box Voting on that situation:
http://www.bbvforums.org/forums/messages/1954/47065.html - "Elections give you:
The Judge, the Prosecutor & the Sheriff"
HERE'S HOW THE KENTUCKY VOTING MACHINES ARE SUPPOSED TO WORK
Voters cast their votes into paperless touchscreens at the polling place. At
the end of Election Day, each voting machine spits out a results tape. Then,
the cartridges from each voting machine are fed into a cartridge reader. It
reads all the cartridges and transfers the data into a tallying program that
adds them all up. And that's when Kathy Greenwell got her dander up in 2006,
because the information coming out of the tally system didn't match the results
on the poll tapes for any race.
As the evening progressed, the mismatches began to hop around like frogs on
electronic lily pads. In addition to wildly fluctuating results, a bunch of
questionable individuals started wandering in and out of the back room, many of
whom were related to the Tinnell family, which had three members of the family
on the ballot (Donnie Tinnell: Sheriff; Sherman Tinnell: Mayor; Melanie
Roberts: Judge Executive). All the Tinnell people won, but none of the results
ever did match up.
Kathy Greenwell keeps demanding answers, but never has gotten any. At one point
Bullitt County Clerk Kevin Mooney gave her a new results tape which, he
claimed, made things match up. Unfortunately, this new tape only balanced the
mismatch out for Kathy's husband Dave Greenwell's sheriff's race. All the other
races are still out of whack.
Bullitt County -- and the other 96 counties in Kentucky serviced by a voting
machine services firm called HARP ENTERPRISES -- claimed that the incorrect
vote totals were due to a "fusion problem" when the computer tried to add up
the totals from the old Shoup/Danaher 1242 voting machines combined with the
new Hart eSlate machines.
WHAT YOU DIDN'T READ IN THE NEWS ABOUT THIS:
1. Pennsylvania also has locations that use both these machines, and their
fusion program works. Or at least so we are told -- Philadelphia County got the
bright idea to charge the public to look at results there, restricting viewing
to those who purchase a password, and we don't know if anyone did the same
thing Kathy Greenwell did, matching up each tape to the published results you
have to purchase.
Nevertheless, we have no evidence that Pennsylvania's system, same machines as
Kentucky, is unable to match its own results up.
2. Kentucky then "solved" the problem by deciding to stop printing the reports
so no one can check to see if they match.
Yes, that's what I said. Kentucky decided to use ONLY the poll tape results,
hand entering them into a computer in the back room, and never put the
cartridges into the reader, never generate that second report. With only
one-half of the check and balance, you can neither check nor balance the poll
tapes against the cartridge reader.
For "transparency", at least in Bullitt County, observers wait in a lobby with
a small video picture of people sitting in a different room typing
"you-can't-see-what" onto "screens-you-can't-see", with people occasionally
wandering in and out of the videotaped area into completely unviewable areas,
carrying items that look like poll tapes. On at least one occasion when Black
Box Voting was there, they turned off the camera for a bit while they did
"we-don't-know-what."
ELECTION WRANGLERS
They also had the Wrangler active that night. For those of you newbies to the
activity known as "election monitoring" (also accurately termed "smacking into
a brick wall") -- well, here's what a "Wrangler" is in Election lingo:
Government insiders, who are in there counting votes in secret on the computers
they control, have a designated wrangler, or in trouble spots a couple of them.
Their job is to distract observers if something interesting is going on.
Blip-lights flicker -- out comes the lady with the candy tray. I once watched
the "blue screen of death" appear on a crashing King County, Washington vote
tabulator and while trying to write down the time and particulars, was accosted
by the Republican Party observer who out of the blue left the computer room to
engage me in a stubbornly aggressive conversation about nothing. In Bullitt
County, Kentucky it was the candy tray lady, a trick reported by activists in
other states as well.
3. And now we get to the best part. Scratch that. The worst part. The machines
used in 96 of Kentucky's 120 counties, the Shoup/Danaher 1242s, can be tampered
with rather easily by anyone with access during or shortly after the testing
phase, but this could be caught -- unless you skip the step of loading in the
cartridges to produce the tally report.
And that's just what Kentucky decided to do. In Kentucky, it was decided to
stop reading the cartridges and use only the poll tape results. And this is
precisely the check and balance cited to show that these old 1242 machines are
"safe."
THINGS TO DO TO HELP MONITOR KENTUCKY
1) Wear a helmet. You'll be running into the brick wall.
2) Ask the officials to read the cartridges into the cartridge reader and print
out a report to prove to you that the cartridge results match the voting
machine results. The cartridges contain what is supposed to be the actual vote
data.
3) Ask to inspect or get copies of the "poll tape" results. Ask for copies of
the cartridge reader results.
4) Record the order in which Kentucky counties deliver their results tonight.
Late results -- especially when accompanied by a trend reversal -- are
associated with fraud.
5) Get screen shots of any tallies that go DOWN as results are coming in.
6) Hunt for "impossible numbers." Here are examples of impossible numbers found
by Black Box Voting, the media, and citizen observers:
a) Barnstead, New Hampshire, 2008 primary. Fifty percent more votes than voters
in the Democratic Party presidential race.
b) Election location in Harlem, New York: Obama got zero votes. Greenville, New
Hampshire: Ron Paul got zero votes, and when citizens came forward swearing
they'd voted for him, the Town Clerk found the missing votes. Sutton, New
Hampshire: Ron Paul got zero votes. When citizens came forward swearing they'd
voted for him, the Town Clerk found the missing votes. Note the pattern, hunt
out the zeroes, onesies and twosies because they happen in every election.
THE IMPOSSIBLE NUMBERS HUNT
You can get lost inside that EAC data set for weeks, but in moments when you
come up for air you'll be able to raise red flags that may help prevent
problems this fall.
Black Box Voting is not a fan of the EAC, but the data surveys are actually
quite terrific. They show that some locations are refusing to comply (like the
entire state of New Hampshire, which refuses to provide even basic numbers like
voter registration or number of votes). They provide at least the skeletal
framework that has potential for quality control and fraud research.
And the data can be used, in conjunction with other data you find, to identify
potential hotspots for trouble this fall.
Remember sixth grade math and story problems? The EAC data tables are a like a
set of Lego's for constructing all kinds of interesting story problems. Which
counties are most likely to binge and purge voter registration lists? You can
get a good idea of that using these data tables. Which counties appear to have
been stuffing the ballot box in the past? Yep, that can be divined as well.
Hint: Lake County, the Indiana location that couldn't seem to find its votes
for so many hours in this year's primary, is one.
THE CRACKERJACK EAC DECODER RINGS FOR THE DATA TABLES
And you'll need them, because they for some reason did not bother to put the
labels on the columns to define what data each column contains. For that, you
need to download this file:
http://www.eac.gov/files/Eds2006/eds2006/Survey_Data_Code_Names.xls (Excel
file)
Then you get to do the fun and tedious activity of looking up the secret code
in the decoder table to insert it on the top of each column.
But that's just the first decoder ring. Secret Agent Natalie, from Black Box
Voting, wondered why none of the data could be summed up or divided for
percentage analysis, and found that the EAC, in its infinite wisdom, converted
the numeric data to text. What that means is that instead of reading the number
"5" your computer reads it as text, like "f-i-v-e" and since it doesn't know
how to perform math functions on alphabet letters, you can't perform simple
tasks like ranking smallest to biggest, or dividing one number into another to
get a percentage.
Black Box Voting has applied both decoder rings to all the data, and is
providing the complete decoded, correctly labeled, numerically converted EAC
data table as part of our 2008 Tool Kit

Make 800,000 dollars in just a few months!!!
Posted by Lori on Sunday, 12 October 2003, at 8:24 p.m.
Dear Friends: Greetings: I am a retired attorney. A few years ago a
man came to me with a letter. He asked me to verify the fact that this
was legal to do. I told him I would review it and get back to him.
When I first read the letter my client brought me, I thought it was
some “off-the-wall” idea to make money. A week and a half later we met
in my office to discuss the issue. I told him the letter he originally
brought me was not 100% legal. My client then asked me to alter it to
make it perfectly legal. I asked him to make one small change in the
letter. I was still curious about the letter, so he explained to me
how it works. I thought it seemed like a long shot, so I decided
against participating. But before my client left, I asked him to keep
me updated on his results. About two months later, he called me to
tell me he had received over $800,000 in cash. I didn’t believe him,
so he asked me to try this idea and find out for myself. I thought
about it for a couple of days and decided I really didn’t have
anything to lose, so I asked him for a copy of the letters. I followed
the instructions exactly, mailed 200 copies, and sure enough, the
money started coming in! It arrived slowly at first, but coming. I
kept a precise record of the earnings, and in the end, it totaled
$978,493! I could hardly believe it. I met with my friend for lunch to
find out exactly how it worked. He told me there are quite a few
similar letters around, but this one is different because there are
six names at the end of the letter, not five like some others. This
fact alone results in your name being in far more returns. The other
fact was the help I gave him, making sure the whole thing was legal,
since no one wants to take the risk of doing something illegal.
By now you are surely curious to know what small changes to make. If
you sent a letter like this one out, in order to be completely legal,
you must actually sell something in order to receive a dollar in
return. So when you send a dollar to each of the names on the list,
you must include these words, “PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST” and
include your name and address. This is the key to the program. The
item you will receive for the dollar you sent to the six people below
is the letter.
At the time I first tried this idea, I was earning a good living as a
lawyer. But everyone in the legal profession will tell you there is a
lot of stress that comes with the job. I told myself if things worked
out, I would retired from my practice and play golf. I decided to try
the letter again, but this time I sent 500 copies. Three months
later , I had totaled $2,341,178!
Here are a few reasons a person might give for not trying this
program: Ø Some people think they can never make a lot of money with
anything this simple. Ø Some are afraid they will be ridiculed for
trying Ø Some dream of large sums of money, but do nothing to actually
achieve it. Ø Some are just plain lazy. Ø Some are afraid of losing
their investment. They think this program is designed to beat them out
of a few dollars.
The system works if you will just try it. But you must follow the
simple instructions exactly, and in less than three months, you will
receive $800,000 GUARANTEED! Keep what you are doing to yourself for
awhile. Many will tell you it won`t work and will try to talk you out
of your dreams. Let them know of your success after it works.
LETTERS FROM PARTICIPANTS IN THIS PROGRAM:
My name is David Rhodes. In 1992 my car was repossessed and bill
collectors were housing my. I was laid off and my unemployment ran
out. In October of 1992, I received a letter telling me how to earn
$800,000 anytime I wanted. Of course, I was skeptical. But because I
was so desperate and virtually had nothing to lose, I gave it a try.
In January 1993, my family and I went on a 10-day cruise. The next
month I bought a brand new Mercedes with cash! I am currently building
a home in Virginia and I will never have to work again. This money
program really works perfectly every time. I have never failed to
receive less than $500,000. This is a legitimate, money-making
opportunity. It does not require you to sell anything or to come in
contact with people. And , best of all, you only leave the house to
mail the letters. If you have always believed that someday you would
get the lucky break, then simply follow the instructions and make
dreams come true.
Larry McMahon, Norfolk, VA Six months ago, I received this letter and
ignored it. Five more came within a period of time and I ignored them
also. I was tempted, but I was convinced that they were just a Hoax.
After three weeks of deliberating, I decided to give it a try ( not
expecting much ). Two weeks went by and nothing happened. The fourth
week was unbelievable! I cant say I received $800,000 but I received
$400,000. For the first time in years, I am debt free. I am doing this
again, only this time starting with 500 post. I strongly recommend
that you follow the instructions exactly as outlined in this letter.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Immediately send $1.00 to each of the six people on the list at the
end of this letter. Wrap the dollar bill in a note saying “ Please add
me to your mailing list” and include your name and address.
2. Copy this letter. You do not have to type it 200 times. Simply
place your cursor at the top of the page, hold it and drag it all the
way down to the end of the letter. Then click on 'edit' and select
'copy'. Now open up a notepad file on your computer and put the cursor
at the top of the page in the notepad, click on 'edit' and then select
'paste' it will copy the letter for you onto your computer.
3. Remove the name next to the #1 on the list and move the rest of the
names up one position (#2 becomes #1, #3 becomes #2, etc…..) Then
place your name in the #6 position. Then save it, make sure it is
saved as a txt. file.
4. When you have completed the instructions, take this letter and then
go to (Google,Yahoo,...) and type in (Making Money Massege board,or
post massege,...)and start posting your copy to 200 message boards,or
more this is only the minimum, you can post as much as you like...The
more copies you send the better the results. Keep a copy of this
letter so you can use it a second time. Post it out again in six
months, but Post it with the addresses you receive with each dollar.
It will work better the second time. NOTE: This service is 100% legal
- (Refer to title 18 section 1302 of the U.S. Postal & lottery laws)
How does it work? When you send out 200 Posts, it is estimated that at
least 15 people will respond and send you a $1.00. ($15.00) Those 15
will Post 200 Posts each and 225 people send you $1.00 ($225.00) Those
225 people Post 200 Posts each and 3,375 people send you $1.00
($3,375.00) Those 3,375 post 200 posts each and 759,375 people send
you $1.00 ($759,375.00) At this point your name drops off the list,
but so far you have received $813,615.00. P.S. When your money begins
to come in, give the first 10% to charity with spirit and share a good
fortune!
