Ohio seizes voting machines

We live in a banana republic.

At the request of election officials, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation has seized voting machines for forensic analysis and has launched a criminal investigation into the Franklin County Board of Elections.

 

Can we once again be plunged into a confrontation between the truth and proof of voting machine tampering and government officials, journalists, and citizens that ask us not to look at the man behind the curtain?  Will the MSM stand with the people and say:  enough is enough?  Are we so blind that we can let people walk out of the shadows, manipulate our election process again and again, and walk back into the shadows?  When will we shine the light of truth and justice on that most important- that most sacred- action we can take to ensure that we, as citizens are fulfilling our nations creed of "creat[ing] a more perfect union":  voting?  

 

The investigation was launched after Jennifer Brunner, Ohio's Secretary of State and chief election official, found that a candidate's name was marked as withdrawn on the electronic voting machine that she used during the recent primaries, an irregularity that was also reported by voters in other precincts. The state attorney general is now working with a team of computer forensic consultants to determine if there was any tampering.

Preliminary analysis conducted by specialists from SysTest Labs indicates that the internal audit capability of the Franklin County voting machines had been manually disabled by county election board programmers last year, making it almost impossible to tell if any nefarious changes have been made to the systems. SysTest also discovered that the election board had failed to adhere to routine machine testing standards and had tested only one machine in each precinct rather than all of the machines.
