Failure of ES&S Touch-Screen Voting System 'Should Not Have Been Possible,' Says Arkansas Official Where Election Outcome Was Reversed

Excerpt:

'Paper Trails' Said to Have Been Correct, but Internal Numbers Wrong; System 'Worked to Perfection' During Early Voting Period
Voting Machine Company Tasked With Auditing Own Machines to Find Cause of Failure Before November...

By all means, let's not pay attention to this report until after November.
...

* "[T]he votes for the constable race were later found to have recorded accurately on the voter-verifiable paper trail and therefore would not have appeared erroneous to voters either." (Which means there also would have been a fight, in any contested recount, about which numbers actually reflected voter intent!)

* "What makes the situation all the more baffling, [Faulkner County Election Commissioner Bruce Haggard] added, is that the machine in question, along with its associated software and coding, were found to have worked to perfection during early voting." (So pre-election tests and early voting gave no indication that something would go wrong on election day, despite election official and voting machine company claims that such tests protect against such problems!)

Remember my little poll on opednews?

http://www.opednews.com/Poll/Will...ote-in-rigged-elec-050408-86.html

Rob Kall, the site owner, had said it was a push poll.

He was wrong.

It's a FLUSH POLL, complete with TOILET PAPER TRAIL.
