6. This is great info but what about the central tabulators?

It seems to me that regardless of the method used by the voter, the vote can be easily misrepresented by the central tabulators. Is there not some way to know what central tabulators are used in each state?

[Wilms]

10. That's a really good point.

And I don't know the answer to that...except to say that anywhere there is a DRE or an OpScan system, there may (and perhaps probably are) tabulators involved.

9. We need a comparison of Bush/Gore vs. Bush/Kerry in all paper counties.

I'm betting Kerry did a lot better than Gore anywhere the votes were hand counted.
I did an analysis on just NH's paper ballot counties that showed that conclusiviely.
