It’ll be interesting to see what evidence comes out of the lawsuit alleging voter fraud in Tennessee:

Some specific examples from the lawsuit:

Votes Without Voters: According to SCEC records, the Participating Voters List for the August election includes 176,119 voters. Without explanation, the Certified Statement of Votes Cast shows 182,921 votes as being cast in the August 2010 election. Thus, according to SCEC’s own records, 6,802 more votes were cast than individuals who participated in the August 2010 election.

Missing Vote Batches: Unexplained errors in vote count are reflected by the voting machines. Vote batches are numbered sequentially based on when they are uploaded from the voting machines, and all early vote uploads to the central tabulator should reflect an upload date of August 5.

However, two of the batches mysteriously reflect an upload date of August 12 (the first day of inspection) yet they remain sequentially listed with the other early vote batches that were all uploaded on August 5.

Further, twenty batches of vote uploads are no longer in the system at all (vote batches 245-265) with no record of them at this time. The missing batches potentially contain between 6,000 and 18,000 votes.

Obstructionism: On August 17, 2010 during inspection, employees of the SCEC were stopped while taking computers to their cars. SCEC represented to the inspection team that the computer memories had been wiped clean, and the computers were being given away due to their age per a “policy” of the SCEC. However, upon examination, the computer memories were not wiped clean; voter files were on the machines and the machines’ memories indicated they had been accessed multiple times in the wee hours of August 12, 2010, before candidate inspection teams arrived that same day.

(Just a few of the allegations. All of us concerned for honest elections should want these allegations fully investigated.)
