Clinton Does Best Where Voting Machines Flunk Hacking Tests: Hillary Clinton vs. Bernie Sanders Election Fraud Allegations
by DOUG JOHNSON HATLEM

At the end of the climactic scene (8 minutes) in HBO’s Emmy nominated Hacking Democracy (2006), a Leon County, Florida Election official breaks down in tears. “There are people out there who are giving their lives just to try to make our elections secure,” she says. “And these vendors are lying and saying everything is alright.” Hundreds of jurisdictions throughout the United States are using voting machines or vote tabulators that have flunked security tests. Those jurisdictions by and large are where former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is substantially outperforming the first full wave of exit polling in her contest against Senator Bernie Sanders.

CounterPunch has interviewed hackers, academics, exit pollsters, and elections officials and workers in multiple states for this series taking election fraud allegations seriously. The tearful breakdown in Hacking Democracy is not surprising. There is a well-beyond remarkable gap between what security experts and academics say about the vulnerability of voting machines and the confidence elections experts and academics, media outlets, and elections officials place in those same machines.

In Leon County, Bev Harris’ Black Box Voting team had just demonstrated a simple hack of an AccuVote tabulator for bubble-marked paper ballots. Ion Sancho, Leon County’s Supervisor of Elections, also fights back tears in the Hacking Democracy clip: “I would have certified this election as a true and accurate result of a vote.” Sancho adds, “The vendors are driving the process of voting technology in the United States.”

In 2010, and this reminder will pain those of you who can remember when Nate Silver’s outfit did real data journalism rather than primarily yay-Clinton boo-Trump punditry, a FiveThirtyEight column argued that hacking was one of two possibilities for statistical anomalies in a Democratic Senate primary in South Carolina: “B. Somebody with access to software and machines engineered a very devious manipulation of the vote returns.”

7. Cheating isn't winning.

The bottom line from the OP article, which is very in-depth and interesting:

Of the theories we have so far for why exit polling missed in Alabama by a huge 14%, the only theory that provides a reasonable explanation is vote tabulating machine tampering. Now, perhaps someone else will come up with a non-fraudulent exit polling miss theory that passes the Alabama Test and explains other states as well. Such a theory cannot be about early voting (Alabama had none) and over-projecting young voters (there were very few according to exit polls of Alabama).

Until someone comes up with such a workable theory, election fraud benefiting Hillary Clinton to the tune of a 120 to 150 pledged delegate difference, is the best explanation we have. People wanting to prove this theory should be suing for a technologically sophisticated and independent review of results and the voting results’ entire computer ecosystems in places like Ohio, South Carolina, Alabama, Boston, Chicago, New York, and many others.

"She won" = bullshit.

"It's math" = bullshit.

"More votes" = bullshit

That's all she's got.

9. " vote tabulating machine tampering"

this explains why the Dem 'leadership" and DNC have never tried to fix this problem since 2004. In fact they sweep it under with bullshit

They get to use it too. It's party neutral. It's who makes the better deal with the Corporate elite now

[Waiting For Everyman]

10. Exactly. It's fixed. That is the big fact to know

and we weren't supposed to find out. That's why they're getting anxious.


Hillary cannot be presumed the winner:

1) She shouldn't have been allowed to run with an active FBI investigation open; that is conning people into voting for her who would not if they knew the facts of the matter.

2) She cheated through the whole primary, which in any competition is a disqualifier.

[Ferd Berfel]

12. Man you miss the point

IT's Her turn (and Wall Street NEEDS her!)

[Waiting For Everyman]

13. And Wall St. paid for her!

Besides, Kissinger the Humanoid Zit needs her too. She's his groupie.

[Ferd Berfel]

14. well yea, dont' they get a return on their investment?

what are you a commie?

[reformist2]

17. A picture is emerging, of systematic fraud through tampering with voter registration records.

[IHateTheGOP]

8. This website has become intolerable for a democrat.

11. Bernie polls best where his supporters flunk math. nt

[pdsimdars]

16. Polling is done by independent polling organizations.

I'd say the most OBVIOUS "polls" are Bernie's rallys. Day after day, state after state. . . . look at those people. And he posts some of them only 4-5 hours before they happen.
Maybe it's that Hillary does best where her supporters are blind.

18. That picture's worth a thousand words, but not worth 3 million votes.

I'll take my chances with the candidate who has a higher turnout on Election Day.

[pdsimdars]

15. Hmmmm. . . what a co-incidence. . . . . .
