NEV Clark County has put the uber left-wing SEIU Local 1107

Net Right)- Did you know that the SEIU represents the voting machine technicians in Clark County (Las Vegas), Nevada? Is it any surprise, as we noted earlier today, that there was a voting glitch in Clark County, Nevada? The glitch caused Harry Reid’s name to be automatically checked on the ballot before voters had indicated who were they were supporting.

According to Joyce Ferrara who was an eyewitness to this strange ballot ordeal, the problem was widespread, “One person that’s a fluke. Two, that’s strange. But several within a five minute period of time — that’s wrong.”

It is particularly troubling that Clark County has put the uber left-wing SEIU Local 1107 in charge of their voting machines.

The agreement between the SEIU and Clark County specifically puts all voting machines under the control of the SEIU. See the collective bargaining agreement:

The County hereby recognizes the Union as the sole and exclusive collective bargaining representative of the County employees assigned to the classifications listed in Appendix A who are eligible to be represented by the Union except as limited by Section 2 of this Article. The Union shall be notified of additions to the list
of classifications (Appendix A), within seven (7) days of posting for the position classification and shall receive 30 days advance notice of any deletions. Upon written request by the Union, the parties shall meet and confer regarding deletions within the 30 day notification period referenced herein. Both parties recognize that the Union retains its right to appeal under the provisions of NRS 288.170

'It's Not the People Who Vote that Count; It's the People Who Count the Votes'

Sounds like Florida in 2000!!!
No. That one was attributed to FDR's friend, "Uncle Joe" Stalin.

But here's a later model from Chicago:
October 26, 2010 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- This year marks the first Illinois election that any registered voter can cast their ballot by mail, no excuses necessary. Even as the deadline for those ballots to be postmarked nears, problems are brewing.


More: Full response from the Illinois Democratic Coordinated Campaign
An Illinois county election official is telling the ABC 7 I-Team that thousands -- potentially hundreds of thousands -- of voters who are expecting a ballot sent to them by mail may be disenfranchised.

Chicagoan Rosia Carter is one of 404,000 registered Illinois voters who recently received vote-by-mail requests that were sent by the Illinois Democratic Coordinated Campaign.

"By the time I filed it out and sent it in, my vote would not get counted," Carter said.

She and others called the I-Team when they noticed the return address is not their local election official but instead a PO box for the organization. IDCC officials claim they are entering ballot request information into their own database before sending the mailings on to election authorities who then mail voters the ballot.

The Lake County clerk received a shipment of 500 ballot requests from the IDCC Tuesday. By law, her office has two days to process the ballot requests. The problem is, Thursday is the deadline for election officials to get the ballots out.

IDCC told the clerk that another 1,500 ballot requests are headed to her office, which, she says, may not give her enough time to process all the ballots, potentially disenfranchising voters.

"I called Mike Madigan," Carter said, "and they said 'We farmed out this job, here's their phone number,' and I said 'I don't want the number, that's your job to call.' "

Carter and others who contacted the I-Team are furious that their vote may also be thrown out because the IDCC put the registered voters' wrong birthdate on the form.

"My birthdate is wrong," said Carter. "That means it doesn't match the election board of commissioners' records."

The IDCC says that less that "1 percent of the ballot applications have been affected by the date-of-birth glitch and that a voter's birthday is not a required piece of personal data to request a ballot."

"If it affects only one person, it's wrong. If it affected just me, it's wrong. System needs to be checked.

The IDCC told the I-Team that they used their PO box as the return address because they "are better able to track the process and make sure there are fewer problems."

Forty-five of the ballots the Lake County clerk received Tuesday from the IDCC should have gone to Will County. At the clerk's own expense, Lake County is having them delivered overnight to Will County so those voters won't be disenfranchised.

Full response from the Illinois Democratic Coordinated Campaign

Reponse to your inquiry from the Executive Director of the ILDCC, Dave Seman:
Less that 1 percent of the ballot applications have been affected by the glitch. Date of Birth is not a required piece of personal data to request a ballot. It was additional information that we included that may be wrong in some cases because of a vendor glitch. We are monitoring the problem but don't have any cause for alarm. We are simply encouraging voters to check the application to make sure their date of birth and all personal information is correct. The majority of applications we are getting back have been fixed by the voters themselves and we are confident that this glitch will remedy itself. The important thing is for people to fill out their absentee ballot application carefully and completely. We have the resources in place to make sure everyone's vote is valid and counted.

Why are you sending it to a PO Box instead of directly to an election authority?
We are doing everything we can to make sure our voters vote - this is pretty standard. In order to help Illinoisans apply for an absentee ballot the ILDCC incurred the cost of the postage so that we can help ensure folks get their ballot on time and that we know who is voting. Turn out as everyone knows is critical to this election. By working this through a PO Box we are better able to track the process and make sure there are fewer problems.

Watch out if you are planning to vote a "straight Republican ticket" also.

Voter reports problem with ballot machine

Man said he voted straight-party ticket and got opposite resultsOctober 23, 2010 4:00 PM

P. Christine Smith
Sun Journal Staff

A Craven County voter says he had a near miss at the polls on Thursday when an electronic voting machine completed his straight-party ticket for the opposite of what he intended.

Sam Laughinghouse of New Bern said he pushed the button to vote Republican in all races, but the voting machine screen displayed a ballot with all Democrats checked. He cleared the screen and tried again with the same result, he said. Then he asked for and received help from election staff.

“They pushed it twice and the same thing happened,” Laughinghouse said. “That was four times in a row. The fifth time they pushed it and the Republicans came up and I voted.”

M. Ray Wood, Craven County Board of elections chairman, issued a written statement saying that the elections board is aware of isolated issues and that in each case the voter was able to cast his or her ballot as desired.

Chuck Tyson, chairman of Craven County GOP, remains skeptical. He has been communicating with Wood about the issue and was invited to a meeting Wednesday with state elections officials. There were no further details about that meeting.

“Something is not right here,” Tyson told the Sun Journal. He said he “got two or three calls” from people describing the same problem while they were voting.

“I’ll be matter of fact, I didn’t find that press release satisfactory,” Tyson said, referring to Wood’s written statement.

Tyson reported other problems as well, including long lines waiting for just two voting machines in Havelock, and machines reporting 250 ballots cast where 400 voters had signed in to vote.

Laughinghouse cast his ballot at the county administration building at about 2:30 p.m., he said. After voting, he located a Republican worker on site and asked to speak with her about his voting machine issue. A man interrupted, he said, directing Laughinghouse to talk with him instead. That man said the machine likely needed to be calibrated, Laughinghouse said, and set about the method to do so.

“Each morning every voting unit is calibrated as per manufacturer instructions by trained election rovers,” Wood’s statement said. “These individuals are also working throughout the county each day to assist one-stop officials with any issues that arise during the course of voting.”

Laughinghouse advises voters to carefully check their ballots before confirming to ensure that the machine is logging each vote as intended.

“If you’re in a hurry, you may just push the button and not notice it,” he said.

He has become suspicious of voter fraud because of news reports he has heard. He would prefer voting machines to display an error message when they need to be calibrated, as opposed to completing ballots for the opposite party, he said.

“I’m all for our country and we know there has been voter fraud before and it continues even today,” Laughinghouse said. “So you get suspicious when something like this happens.”

The elections board also encourages voters to check their ballots carefully and to report any problems to poll staff before confirming the electronic ballot.

“It is our desire to provide the citizens of Craven County with the most honest and fair election possible,” Wood’s statement said. “With that in mind and because we seek to maintain the privacy of all voters whenever possible, we ask any voter, while in the act of voting, notify an election official immediately should they experience any difficulties in casting their ballot.”

Wood was unavailable to expand on his written comments on Friday afternoon, as he was in a conference, an elections office employee said. He did not return a phone message seeking additional comment as of press time.

Tyson said he’d like it if Craven County would scrap its voting machines.

“They never work, they’re late reporting, they screw up, they ain’t worth a damn and we ought to go back to paper ballots,” he said.

Not only touch screen booths are pre selected with Reids name, but when voters choose his opponent Angle on fill in ballots then enter them into scanners, Reids name comes up as who they voted for.

So the Democrats are going down this road again?

They cannot stand on any shred of history or substance, but have to rely on voter fraud to keep this out of touch over extended waste of tax dollars in office. With this current administration voting here is like voting in Iran or North Korea.

Personally I would not put it past Obama to organize this VOTER fraud as primary objective of his last visit to Nevada.

"Voters in Boulder City NV said they were trying to vote for Republican nominee Sharron Angle, but that Reid's name was checked when they got to the electronic voting machines.

"Something's not right," voter Joyce Ferrara told the network, saying several people reported the same problem. "One person that's a fluke. Two, that's strange. But several within a five-minute period of time -- that's wrong."

NO-That’s illegal!

Claims that Clark County electronic voting machines are being activated with the name of candidate Harry Reid preselected are patently false. The voting machines only react to a touch, whether intentional or inadvertent. While it is possible for a voter to touch a candidate’s name with a sample ballot, a sleeve, or anything else without realizing it, it is not possible for the machine to make a selection without the voter’s input. Therefore, it’s important that voters review their selections on the voting screen and on the paper printout before hitting the “cast ballot” button.
Millions of votes have been placed on these machines over the past eight years, both in testing and in prior elections, without incident. Before being placed into service, all electronic voting machines have undergone pre-logic accuracy testing to ensure that they are working properly. Extensive security procedures are in place to ensure no machine tampering could occur. The software and firmware used in the machines has been validated against that on file at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Copies of the software, firmware and election profile are additionally secured in a vault at the Office of the Secretary of State where their integrity could be validated if the election were to be contested. Trained and sworn Clark County staff are available to answer voters’ questions and assist voters experiencing difficulties while voting.
Although much has been made of a reported incident in Boulder City that occurred yesterday, at no time did any voter bring it to the attention of an attendant, or the Team Leaders in charge of the polling location. Although poll watchers were observing throughout the day, no incident was reported to them. In fact, although over 160,000 people have voted early in Clark County, those allegations that have been made have gone directly to the media as opposed to election board officers.
Clark County residents can be confident their election equipment is working properly and that the results of the election will reflect exactly the selections made by the voters. If a recount or contest should occur, the Election Department is confident the equipment and procedures will stand up to any scrutiny.

Dear Mr. Lomax, If what you are saying is true then there would be equal chance for other names to be selected and "pre-voted." Since only Sen Reid's name is the one coming up already marked you have fraud in that district. Instead of mouthing your standard denial, GO AND LOOK!

ChrisS, how is he supposed to do anything when people are not registering complaints with the Elections Department.

A Sharon Angle Voter rushing directly the Fox. Hrm, that's not suspicious at all.

Touch screens need to be calibrated. If they are not calibrated properly or are intentionally calibrated incorrectly, you will have ballots that are not as intended.

Yoou can calibrate them so that the touch registers where it is suppose to, or so many "pixels" up or down. They can be calibrated fraudently.

It is always important to check your "final answers", but how many are in a rush and do not. That's the whole reason they have the "straight party ticket" option.
