New Litigation Documents to be Revealed
Votes Lost in 2004:
Annapolis, Maryland. Linda Schade, plaintiff in suit
against Maryland Elections Administrator Linda Lamone will reveal the following
documents to the State Senate EHE Committee in a bill hearing tomorrow,
February 16th, 2006 at 1pm:
Document from Baltimore Board of Elections: list of machines used in
November 2004 elections which recorded no votes whatsoever. And some that
recorded just a few votes. These documents present a prima facie case that
significant numbers of votes were lost in the 2004 elections.
Documents showing that MD used a completely uncertified voting system in the
March 2004 primary. "Why does this matter? Because voting on
an untested system is like getting into an airplane without making sure the
wings are attached, said Linda Schade, Director of TrueVoteMD.org. That's
why Maryland and most states require the use of certified systems."
And fireworks may fly when Lamone is asked by legislators about the security
and legality of Maryland's Diebold system for 2006. Why? The recent hack
of Diebold in Leon County, Florida exploited 'interpreted software code' which
is used on the memory cards on all Diebold's voting machines.
While California forced Diebold to re-test/re-certify their (TSx) memory cards,
Lamone is hoping no one will notice that she has failed to call for the
re-testing of the Diebold (TS) memory cards used in Maryland's 20,000 voting
machines, leaving Maryland wide open for hacking in 2006.
