It's  going to be up to us to make the case. We can't solve a problem if we refuse to  look. Citizens are fed up with black box elections, and are mustering up  evidence of improper behavior that will swing the pendulum back in the direction  it belongs.

Examples of the astonishing evidence uncovered by candidates  and extraordinary citizens follows.

At first, we proved that the machines  "theoretically' could be tampered with. Then, in experiments in Leon County and  Emery County, citizen-led investigations machines could ACTUALLY be tampered  with.

At first, public records requests from Black Box Voting and others  proved that election results were not authenticatable using available audit  records. And now, Black Box Voting and citizens are coming up with audit records  that show strong indications of improper behavior.

Be aware that we are  not going to see a Perry Mason moment. Proof of corruption will be incremental,  but it will come.

In 2006, your job will be to embark on the biggest  citizen evidence-gathering expedition in history, to take this past the tipping  point and achieve real change. Nothing will do but a reversal of the pendulum,  back to citizen ownership and oversight of our own government and its electoral  processes.

Let's take a look now at some of the evidence citizens -- and  Black Box Voting -- are uncovering:

1. Memphis: Candidates in Memphis  asked Black Box Voting for help securing public records from the Aug. 3, 2006  election. Black Box Voting recommended getting a copy of the Diebold GEMS  database, along with the Windows event log. What we found shocked us: The sheer  number of legal and security violations in the event log were horrifying, and it  also showed that Shelby County -- or someone -- was accessing the file during  the middle of a Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting this.

- A remote  access program called PC Anywhere was found resident in the system
- Evidence  of insertion of an encrypted Lexar Jump Drive was present
- Evidence of  attempts to alter or write HTML files (used to report results) was present
-  Apparently without a firewall, the GEMS system was opened up to the County  Network
- A prohibited program, Microsoft Access, which makes editing the  election chimpanzee-easy, was installed on the system AND USED shortly after the  election.

2.  Alaska: In early 2006, the Alaska Democratic Party asked Black Box Voting for  help. The election numbers simply didn't add up. BBV's Jim March urged them to  fight for the right to obtain the Diebold GEMS database, which Diebold had until  then been asserting proprietary rights over. After months of hard-fought  battling, they prevailed. That database was released publicly at Black Box  Voting here: [a href="vny!://www.bbvforums.org/forums/messages/2197/44183.html"]vny!://www.bbvforums.org/forums/messages/2197/44183.html[/a]

You  can open it yourself in Microsoft Access, and when you do, choose the table  called "audit." In this table you will see evidence that someone was changing  things as recently as July 2006 -- after the matter was in court, before the  file was released. The changes are substantial, and involve redefining ballot  and candidate items, along with a reference to a second memory card.

If  you don't have MS Access, here is a pdf copy of that controversial log: [a href="vny!://www.bbvforums.org/forums/messages/2197/44278.html"]vny!://www.bbvforums.org/forums/messages/2197/44278.html[/a]

3.  In Georgia, Cynthia McKinney contacted Black Box Voting. Very odd things were  happening in the 2006 primary and the runoff election that followed -- Democrats  were being served up Republican primary ballots on the Diebold touch-screens,  McKinney's name was left off some ballots, but reportedly appeared on other  ballots nowhere near her district. The electronic poll books -- something  Georgia voters never asked for and a whole new source of glitches -- were  malfunctioning regularly.

Black Box Voting advised McKinney to seek the  troubleshooter and pollworker logs. What we found on these shocked us -- in an  election reported as "smooth" by the press, was evidence of dozens and dozens of  voting machine malfunctions, electronic pollbook glitches, and most disturbing  of all (given the dire consequences available based on the Hursti and Princeton  studies), the seals for dozens of voting machines were missing, broken, and  mismatched -- yet the machines were used anyway.

4.  In Ohio, Richard Hayes Phillips examined ballots from the 2004 presidential  election. They'd been kept locked up for 22 months, and he was under immense  pressure to look at as many as he could before they were destroyed. What he  found shocked him: Patterns of tampering, as evidenced by statistically  impossible overvotes, strategically placed and favoring George W. Bush.  He  listed his findings here: [a href="vny!://www.bbvforums.org/forums/messages/2197/44285.html"]vny!://www.bbvforums.org/forums/messages/2197/44285.html[/a]

This  is the tip of the iceberg. The missing ingredient is, and has been, the active  oversight of the citizenry. In 2006, please join the movement as an active  participant in overseeing and authenticating your election. We'll help. Start  here:
