Pictures from the alleged redundant memory backup on September 9th,
2004
The following pictures were taken in the warehouse attached to the Riverside
County Registrar of Voters' office. The backup of redundant memory was suppose
to occur in front of observers. The county did let observers stand in the same
room as the voting machines, but the observers were restricted to a small area
of the room and several obstacles prohibited any actual observation. As you can
see from the following pictures, it was not possible for the observers to see
what was going on in the room. You can download all the pictures by going here:

backup process go here:
Redundant Memory Transfer Report
These pictures show that except for a small handful, the voting computers were
faced away from the observers and they had privacy screens up to block the
observers view. These screens can be lowered but the Registrar's employee's
refused to do so. On the few occasions when the screen on the closest machine was turned towards the observer, the glare made it impossible to see what was on it.

This picture shows how far away some of the computers were kept from the
observation area.
The only people allowed to go near the voting machines were Registrar of
Voters' staff members.

How is this process done outside of Riverside County?
This is a picture was taken in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
The picture shows how information is backed up from voting machines in
Miami-Dade County. The person in the red shirt is from the county elections
department. The man in the floral shirt and the woman holding the coke can are
from the county audit and management department. The woman in the white jacket
is from the League of Women Voters, and the woman in the brown T-shirt is from
the Miami-Dade Election Coalition. (Thanks to Dr. Douglas Jones of the
University of Iowa for the above picture)
Notice that in Florida they do a better job of this than in Riverside County...
