Documented, illustrated electronic voting failures.
This came out about a month ago, but if you missed it, it is ESSENTIAL.

Great stuff for handing to those who still think electronic voting is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Or, who haven't thought a whit about it. Sit on them until they spend ten minutes reading it. It's a quick 14 pages.

State after state. Election after election.

My personal favorite is still the negative 25 million votes recorded in one Ohio precinct.

This is extraordinarily well-written and documented. I commend it to each of you.

3. Oh, and by the way. No exit polls. No understanding of
MOE or WPE or statistics necessary. Not at all.
