Stealing votes? Here's an undocumented possibility that is apparently being overlooked by the traditional media and many election officials.
Who is guarding the paper ballots and electronic voting machines in early voting districts? If the ballots and machines are left unguarded, say in schools and churches, what is to prevent tampering and hacking the ballots so that, say, votes for Obama are changed into votes for McCain?
I have spoken with several experts and almost no one has a good answer. There are thousands of early polling locations and security obviously varies from state to state.
Are early votes being tabulated on a daily basis or are election officials waiting until election day? Can anyone say precisely what is being done in your state or district to prevent ballot tampering after the early voting polls have closed at night?
