*NEW* False information given to Secretary of State's office by Riverside County Registrar of Voters Barbara Dunmore. On January, 20th 2005, Mrs. Dunmore made statements that she knew to be false to the California Secretary of State's office. This was done as an attempt to convince the Secretary of State's office that Riverside County could not meet the state requirements for a voter verifiable paper trail. Watch the video and see how glibly Mrs. Dunmore makes up "facts" about this imaginary problem. *NEW* Riverside County Registrar of Voters Demonstrates Contempt for Political Party Leaders Before the November 2004 election, it was drawn to the attention of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors that an Elections Department employee, Bobby Allen, had posted comments on a website saying that he hoped there would be big problems in handling the absentee and paper ballots, and that he would "sit back and laugh" when it happened. The supervisors were also informed, with thorough documentation, that Allen had spent considerable county time on county computers indulging in hobby activities, including putting up hundreds of postings under the name slacker1bob. A few days later, still before the election, officials of all five active political parties in Riverside County submitted a letter to Riverside County Registrar of Voters Barbara Dunmore asking for quick action to be taken to keep Allen from having any access to the ballots. An update on this story is coming soon ...
Mr. Allen's position on the recount board gave him access to the very same ballots about which he stated his hopes for a disaster. This appointment of the aptly self-named Slacker Bob is apparently intended as a message of contempt for political party leaders, and voters generally. Will inaction by the Board of Supervisors show their contempt for voters as well? Scroll down for details on Bobby Allen's statements and for a copy of the letter submitted to the Registrar of Voters about Mr. Allen's activities. *NEW* Election Night 2004 Crashes, Restarts, and Ballots Removed from Public View The election software used by Riverside County crashed multiple times during the vote count. To read about software crashes as well as other problems Riverside County had during the vote count see this report: Election Night Report Nov. 2, 2004 *NEW* Improper Comments Made by Registrar of Voters' Employee An employee at the Registrar of Voters office has been posting to Internet forums during working hours for years. In a posting to blackboxvoting.com, he says, "I hope there will be plenty more blunders, similar to Florida in the 2000 Presidential, just so I can sit back and laugh at you." To see my presentation to the Riverside County Board Of Supervisors about this employee go here: Report For an update to the presentation go here: Update On Wednesday, October 20th, 2004 a letter was delivered to Registrar of Voters Barbara Dunmore demanding prompt action in dealing with the employee who stated that they wanted problems to occur with paper ballots. The letter was signed by central committee members of all the active parties in Riverside County. To see the letter go here: Bobby Allen Letter *NEW* Logic and Accuracy Test for November 2004 - Crash! Multiple observers witness the Central Tabulation software crash during a test of the county's electronic voting system. Test observers were not allowed to inspect the data that was entered into the system. Observers were not allowed to inspect the cartridges data was stored on to see if they were empty before they were inserted into the voting machines. The lead technical staff member from the Registrar of Voters gave the press misleading information about the test. To see the detailed report click here: http://www.exit.com/RiversideVoteTest/November04LAT.pdf Suspicious Behavior in Riverside County In September 2004, a judge ordered that Riverside County back up election information from the March 2nd 2004 Primary that was stored in electronic voting machines. The judge specifically stated that this process was supposed to happen in front of observers. I went to observe the data transfer on September 9th 2004. Unfortunately I was prevented from actually observing the data transfer process. I was allowed to stand in the same room that the alleged transfer happened in but most of the voting machines were faced away from me and they had their privacy screens up, completely cutting my view of what was happening to them. To read about this and the other obstacles placed in the way of observers please read the following report: http://www.exit.com/RiversideVoteTest/letters/suspicious_riverside.pdf *NEW* Pictures of the redundant memory "transfer" Riverside County Can't Answer Questions After growing tired of receiving misleading or incorrect information about the county's voting system, a group of people submit a letter to the county demanding that they finally start giving real answers to questions about the county's voting system. The letter was signed by central committee members of the Democratic, Libertarian, Peace and Freedom, and Republican parties, including three county chairs. Officials of several non-partisan organizations also signed the letter. The county needs to answer all of these questions, including the ones about the use of uncertified software and a major breach of security from within the Registrar of Voters' office.

Not a single person is named in the article. This is because the conspiracy was completely fabricated by Ms. Townsend and Mr. Konopasek. Get the details here: http://www.exit.com/RiversideVoteTest/letters/response_to_mudslinging.pdf Logic and Accuracy Test for California Recall Election A Logic and Accuracy test was held on September 9th, 2003 for the California Recall election. There were several problems I saw with the running of the test. Among them were: 8People signed a form stating that they had witnessed the test and had verified the results, before the test was completed. 8The test was run in a pre-election mode of the vote counting software. No test was run on the software while it was in the configuration that it would be in on election day. 8The observation board was given a seriously misleading description of the make up of the voting system that Riverside County uses. Sequoia Voting Systems, the manufacturer of the touchscreen systems, also gives a very misleading description of their products on their website and in their brochures.
