Back To The Future? 2009 Article On Election Machine Tampering in Kentucky.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/brad-friedman/ky-election-officials-arr_b_177468.html

Seems to me like there are an awful lot of people around who know how to rig election machines for the purpose of stealing elections, especially in Kentucky. And when pre-election polls, exit polls, and down-ballot results don't match the top ballot results, people should look into it. We've got to A) get rid of electronic voting machines that leave no paper trail, and B) stop allowing people who are suspicious of these results to be dismissed as crackpots.

"Clay County Clerk, Freddy Thompson, 45, allegedly provided money to election officers to be distributed by the officers to buy votes and he also instructed officers how to change votes at the voting machine. ...

Election officer William E. Stivers, 56, allegedly marked votes or issued tickets to voters who had sold their votes and changed votes at the voting machine. ...

Paul E. Bishop, 60, allegedly marked voters or issued tickets to voters who sold their votes and he also hosted alleged meetings at his home where money was pooled together by candidates and distributed to election officers, including himself. He was also accused of instructing the officers how to change votes at the voting machine."
