Voters defrauded with ‘invisible ink’
So on the voter defraud front - it’s only the primaries and we’ve already had recounts, Diebold (I mean, Premier Election Solutions) vote flipping uncovered publicly, Diebold using the same already-hacked keys in their current machines, and voting machines from Sequoia not counting votes…it’s time for another episode of Election Officials are F*cking Crazy!
From Chicago, IL we have this wonderful snippet:
Twenty voters at a Far North Side precinct who found their ink pens not working were told by election judges not to worry.
It’s invisible ink, officials said. The scanner will count it.
But their votes weren’t recorded after all.

Also, don’t forget the Diebold officials convicted of narcotics trafficking, or the same officials who admitted to swapping out memory cards on machines running on election day:
Other LHS staff members we spoke with, including Mike Carlson and Tom Burge, provided similar comments. They said they would open machines up during an election and swap memory cards as needed. This is illegal under Connecticut law and Deputy Secretary Mara told us she has since informed LHS that such actions were in violation of Connecticut election laws.
“In 2006, as Hajjar argued in favor of their policy to change cards during elections, I asked him about about the laws which govern chain of custody issues. His response: “I mean, I don’t pay attention to every little law. It’s just, it’s up to the Registrars. All we are is a support organization on Election Day”.
He said he had three memory cards in the trunk of his car and, in the event they had to be used, the chain of custody issues wouldn’t matter since, “once you run the [pre-election] test deck through, you’re golden”.”
Awesome! Thanks Democracy™!
