The first election Gates provided the hack for was in 1979, see http://www.sos.state.oh.us/sos/ElectionsVoter/results1970s.aspx?Section=517  PLUS... 1985 Background Material from Jim Condit, Jr. and also see: DOJ & FBI complicity Jan 10: There's a History of Suspected Vote Fraud In NH - Forget 'Official Recounts', Do Citizen Audits 2007 Dec. 22: Lynn's Affidavit for National Clean Elections lawsuit Mar 12: The “Voter Confidence” Bill. IT’S CONFUSING - Electronic Tallies Can Still Trump Paper Ballots on Election Day Feb: Florida Gov. Crist's suggestion that ballot scanners are the answer to touchscreen machines is a cynical ploy.  State officials plan to use ES&S ballot markers plus ballot scanners. No hand count.  Both machines are computers and can be easily programmed to rig an election. Florida also has a law on the books that the electronic tally, not a hand count, will be the official election result in the case of a recount.  In addition, counties that used ballot scanners in the 2004 presidential election showed a massive and highly suspicious crossover vote from Democratic voters (and other parties) to Bush.  Bush posted vote totals of 200%, 300%, 400%, and in one county 600% over Republican registration.  See the chart - Florida Feb: Rush Holt's bill HB 811 is very disappointing.  Check out Nancy Tobi's comments.  My full review coming soon.

An interesting excerpt: "Given the fundamental importance and the logistical complexity of elections, Welsh and company leave nothing to chance: they had four business jets and two turboprops on standby; as well as more than 1,000 temporary employees, some drawn from Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, Nebraska.ES&S staff were ready to be anywhere at a moment's notice to help iron out unexpected kinks."
