ELECTION THEFT 2000! A NEW BOMBSHELL! 

Diebold Internal Support Memos 

CHECK THIS OUT! 
<http://www.sunrise.it/s/lists/support.w3archive/200101/msg00069.html>

A remarkable exchange concerning Diebold's voting machines in Volusia 
County, Florida. On January 17, 2001, Lana Hines, a county elections 
official sends out an inquiry as to how Al Gore ended up with a
vote-count of -16,022. That's NEGATIVE 16,022which just happens also
to have been the total number of votes cast for various independent
and third-party candidates who also ran. (It was the largest number of
such votes cast in Volusia County's history.) 

Pay close attention to the final entry, from "Tab"that is, Talbot
Iredale, Vice President of Research & Development at Global/Diebold.
The most troubling of his statement is in bold below. Iredale writes: 

...the error could only occur in one of four ways: 

1.Corrupt memory card. This is the most likely explaination for the 
problem but since I know nothing about the 'second' memory card I have
no ability to confirm the probability of this. 

2.Invalid read from good memory card. This is unlikely since the 
candidates['] results for the race are not all read at the same time
and the corruption was limited to a single race.There is a
possib[ili]ty that a section of the memory card was bad but since I do
not know anything more about the 'second' memory card I cannot
validate this. 

3.Corruption of memory, whether on the host or Accu-Vote. Again this
is unlikely due to the localization of the problem to a single race. 

4.Invalid memory card (i.e. one that should not have been 
uploaded). There is always the possib[i]lity that the 'second memory
card' or 'second upload' came from an un-authorised source. 

And that's only the tip of the iceberg. 

When will this all-important story break out in the US mainstream
press? 

When will the Democrats confront the issue? What is at stake here is
their future as a partyand ours as a democracy.
