Convicted in Cleveland
Two high ranking county election workers in Ohio have been found guilty of rigging the recount in 2004. They were required to recount three per cent of their presidential votes. If any discrepencies were found, a full recount would be conducted.
So to make sure they avoided the full recount
the employees broke the law when they worked behind closed doors three days before the public Dec. 16, 2004, recount to pick ballots they knew would not cause discrepancies when checked by hand so they could avoid a lengthier, more expensive hand recount of all votes.
Remember how Diebold claims its election software doesn’t really need to be secure because there is no such thing as dishonest election workers?
