MSNBC - The best reporting by far in the mainstream media has been by MSNBC's 
Keith Olbermann. Both on TV and on his blog, Mr. Olbermann is asking serious 
questions. He is even asking why other major media aren't reporting many of 
these sensational stories. His most excellent blog gives continual updates of 
recent developments in the elections scandals. Here are a few key quotes from 
three of the entries there:

Nov. 7, 6:55 p.m. "Officials in Warren County, Ohio, "locked down" its 
administration building to prevent anybody from observing the vote count 
there....Emergency Services Director Frank Young explained that he had been advised by 
the federal government to implement the measures for the sake of Homeland 
Security." "The majority of the media has yet to touch the other stories of Ohio 
(the amazing Bush Times Ten voting machine in Gahanna) or huge margins for Bush 
in Florida counties in which registered Democrats outnumber registered 
Republicans 2-1."

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240 (scroll down to find this date and time 
in the blog)

Nov. 9, 12:55 a.m. "....the remarkable results out of Cuyahoga County, Ohio. 
In 29 precincts there, the County's website shows, we had the most unexpected 
results in years: more votes than voters. I'll repeat that: more votes than 
voters. 93,000 more votes than voters." (more on this below)

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240

November 10, 12:43 p.m. "The computerized balloting in North Carolina is so 
thoroughly messed up that all state-wide voting may be thrown out and a second 
election day scheduled."

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240

WOWT/NBC (Nebraska) - "Sarpy County election officials are trying to figure 
out how they ended up with more votes than voters in the general election. 
Sarpy County borrowed the election equipment from Omaha-based Election Systems & 
Software. Its employees operated the machines that are now double-checking the 
ballots. No one is sure exactly what went wrong."

http://www.wowt.com/news/headlines/1161971.html

Sun Journal - A North Carolina newspaper reports that "a systems software 
glitch in Craven County's electronic voting equipment is being blamed for a vote 
miscount that ... swelled the number of votes for president here by 11,283 
more votes than the total number cast."

Associated Press/USA Today - "There were also several dozen voters in six 
states who said the wrong candidates appeared on their touch-screen machine's 
checkout screen."

Palm Beach Post (Florida) - "Early Thursday, as Broward County elections 
officials wrapped up after a long day of canvassing votes, something unusual 
caught their eye. Tallies should go up as more votes are counted. That's simple 
math. But in some races, the numbers had gone . . . down. Officials found the 
software used in Broward can handle only 32,000 votes per precinct. After that, 
the system starts counting backward."

New York Times - In mid-August 2003, Walden W. O'Dell, the chief executive of 
Diebold, wrote a letter inviting 100 wealthy friends to a fund-raiser at his 
home in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio. He wrote, "I am committed to helping Ohio 
deliver its electoral votes to the president next year." A longtime 
Republican, he is a member of President Bush's "Rangers and Pioneers,'' an elite group 
of loyalists who have raised at least $100,000 each for the 2004 race. Through 
Diebold Election Systems, Mr. O'Dell's company is among the country's biggest 
suppliers of paperless, touch-screen voting machines.

Project Censored (Excellent university website exposing media cover-ups): "ES&
S, Diebold, and Sequoia are the companies primarily involved in implementing 
the new, often faulty, technology at voting stations throughout the country. 
All three have strong ties to the Bush Administration along with major defense 
contractors in the United States. Some of the most generous contributors to 
Republican campaigns are also some of the largest investors in ES&S, Sequoia, 
and Diebold. Most notable of these are government defense contractors 
Northrup-Grumman, Lockheed-Martin, Electronic Data Systems."

USA Today - The three companies that certify the nation's voting technologies 
operate in secrecy, and refuse to discuss flaws in the machines to be used by 
nearly one in three voters in November. Federal regulators have virtually no 
oversight over testing of the technology. Michael Shamos, a Carnegie Mellon 
computer scientist and electronic voting expert, told lawmakers in Washington, 
D.C. "I find it grotesque that an organization charged with such a heavy 
responsibility feels no obligation to explain to anyone what it is doing." The 
system for "testing and certifying voting equipment in this country is not only 
broken, but is virtually nonexistent," Shamos added.

Michigan City News-Dispatch - In LaPorte County, Indiana, a Democratic 
stronghold, electronic voting machines decided that each precinct only had 300 
voters. "At about 7 p.m. Tuesday," according to this report, "it was noticed that 
the first two or three printouts from individual precinct reports all listed an 
identical number of voters. Each precinct was listed as having 300 registered 
voters. That means the total number of voters for the county would be 22,200, 
although there are more than 79,000 registered voters."

Common Dreams (excellent news website) - In Florida's counties using results 
from optically scanned paper ballots - fed into a central tabulator PC and 
thus vulnerable to hacking - the results seem to contain substantial anomalies. 
In Baker County, for example, with 12,887 registered voters, 69.3% of them 
Democrats and 24.3% of them Republicans, the vote was only 2,180 for Kerry and 
7,738 for Bush, the opposite of what is seen everywhere else in the country where 
registered Democrats largely voted for Kerry. In Dixie County, with 4,988 
registered voters, 77.5% of them Democrats and a mere 15% registered as 
Republicans, only 1,959 people voted for Kerry, but 4,433 voted for Bush. The pattern 
repeats over and over again - but only in the counties where optical scanners 
were used.

Popular Mechanics - A team of former National Security Agency (NSA) computer 
experts conducted a weeklong exercise with six Diebold machines and a server. 
According to team leader Michael Wertheimer, the group uncovered "considerable 
security risks." They found that the smart cards used to provide supervisors 
with access to the machines could be easily hacked; the removable media 
containing voting information was protected by flimsy locks that the team picked in 
under a minute using bent paper clips. The paper clips weren't even necessary, 
since all 32,000 keys supplied by Diebold for the machines are identical, 
allowing any key to open all of the machines. On the software side, the most 
glaring weakness was in election headquarters servers: Dell PCs ran the Windows 
2000 operating system without Microsoft's security upgrade patches, which left 
servers susceptible to viruses and worms, enabling a remote attacker to tamper 
with election systems by phone."

Popular Science - In South Carolina, officials bought machines too late for 
adequate testing. And on many of their onscreen ballots, the presidential 
contest included names of candidates from local elections. Several Texas counties 
are thousands of votes short because a bug in the software failed to record 
Spanish-language ballots. For hundreds of thousands of votes, there will be no 
paper record at all. In Colorado, a group of hackers is boasting that they stole 
a box of electronic smartcards used to activate e-voting machines and 
reprogrammed them to allow multiple votes, just for fun. In virtually every state, 
officials failed to invite outside technical experts to participate in the 
process of e-voting machine selection. Because none of the major vendors of 
e-voting machines release their code for security testing, states and counties are 
forced to trust vendors' own assessments of their machines' reliability.

House of Representatives Website - Representatives John Conyers, Jerrold 
Nadler, and Robert Wexler, members of the House Judiciary Committee, posted a 
letter on November 5th to David Walker, Comptroller General of the U.S. The letter 
reads as follows: "We write with an urgent request that the Government 
Accountability Office immediately undertake an investigation of the efficacy of 
voting machines and new technologies used in the 2004 election, how election 
officials responded to difficulties they encountered and what we can do in the 
future to improve our election systems and administration."

What You Can Do. For starters, you can email your support to the above three 
members of Congress at 
http://www.workingforchange.com/activism/action.cfm?itemid=18055 There are also two excellent petitions demanding an investigation 
which you can sign on the Internet. The first already had 26,000 signatures as 
of 4:00 p.m. November 11th. The second, posted by MoveOn.org doesn't list 
numbers who have signed, though their membership numbers nearly 3 million.

In addition to these petitions, visit websites covering the elections mess. 
They provide ideas on other actions you can take. Two of the best such websites 
are:
