JANUARY 24, 2008...

DAY 1 of the NEW HAMPSHIRE REPUBLICAN RECOUNT continues with ANOMALY after gross ANOMALY: MANCHESTER WARD 5, a DIEBOLD COUNTED ward of great interest due to the massive INFLATED VOTE RESULTS yielded from the original Diebold Counted results on election night to the hand RECOUNT results.

This video explores NH State Office's very strange, and even UNLIKELY, explanation for the anomaly, leaving us with more questions than answers...

ED NOTE: This video is not for the faint at heart. This was, by far, the most complex and textured video I've ever tried to birth; like a demon baby invetro, it has been haunting me above all others...

Parts 1 & 2 below...

Part 2

Search for Common Ground: In My Heart - Peace

One of several "peace songs" produced by Search for Common Ground/Common Ground productions. "In My Heart" is also the theme song from The Shape of the Future, a SFCG-produced documentary film about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. David Broza and Said Murad (two well-known Israeli and Palestinian musicians) wrote the song; it was performed by David Broza and Wisam Murad.

For a real-world case where the ballot chain-of-custody issue was a complete and unmitigated disaster, look no further than last month's New Hampshire state primaries. Bev Harris and her team of activists went to New Hampshire with cameras in hand, and they captured on video a perfect storm of arrogance, indifference, and incompetence on the part of New Hampshire's elections officials.....If you're a member of the media who's covering the elections beat, then grill elections officials about chain of custody and report the results to the public. The "hacking" stories may sell papers and draw traffic, but chain-of-custody issues are just as critical. And if you're a concerned citizen, then get involved....

Analysis: e-voting's success rests on chain-of-custody issue

By Jon Stokes | Published: February 21, 2008 - 05:41AM CT

Why is it that Republicans are so quick to believe what our enemies say?

Had enough? Then take back our elections. Who put Bush in the White House? The American voters? No. Does this government represent YOU? If it doesn't, there's a reason for that. Representational democracy only works when the elections work. Until then, we all have this blood on our hands. It won't wash off easy.

Constitutional Attorney Jonathon Turley Tells MSNBC Congress Refuses To Investigate Because They 'Do Not Want to Deal With That Fact' Guest Blogged by Alan Breslauer

Jonathan Turley: It really is amazing because Congress, including the Democrats, have avoided any typed of investigation into torture because they do not want to deal with the fact that the President ordered war crimes. But evidence keeps on coming out - the only thing we don’t have is a group picture with a detainee attached to electrical wires. I mean every time we see more evidence we have more and more high ranking people at the scene of this crime. And what you get from this is that this was a premeditated and carefully orchestrated torture program. Not torture, but a torture program.

Meet one of the women in the BlackBoxVoting brigade, who found themselves trying to keep up with Butch and Hoppy in high speed chases just so they could follow the ballot chain of custody for you and me. Meet our friend, Floridian Jeannie Dean, of the "Party" Party, who came to the cold NH winter to help place citizen controls on the New Hampshire recount. Jeannie filmed the police dog video from the recount.

Bullitt County, Kentucky citizen Kathy Greenwell confronts the New Hampshire Secretary of State face to face; an investigator is hired - he interrogates the citizens instead of investigating violations of election law; Hoppy speaks out

A dizzying trip following the New Hampshire ballot pickup van as "Butch & Hoppy" collected ballots for the 2008 recount of the presidential primary -- you decide: Evasive manuevers or can't find a map?

Election Reality TV: The Jeannie Dean video

Police dogs assigned, ballots in the dark, and the State of New Hampshire denies having any information about the K-9 Unit assignment. Then changes their mind when this video hits YouTube, says they are "looking for the records." Sarasota citizen Jeannie Dean provides graphic evidence about the state of your democracy right now. And if you still believe citizen sovereignty is intact, Google "Thomas Jefferson" and see if you still believe this is what the founders meant to create.

The video above provides bits of the backstory for our discovery of a potentially devastating method of rigging MAIL IN VOTES, AUDITS and RECOUNTS. Black Box Voting is currently doing proof of concept testing on our "Theory of a crime" and will release details next week on how it's done, so that preventive measures can be put in before November. We'll see how the ballots and the special "optical scan marking pens" being sold by vendors actually perform in our tests. Any information you can provide on the specific paper stock and especially, the paper coatings used by ballot printers will be much appreciated right now.

Information leading up to this discovery came from a frame-by-frame analysis of video, including these:

On November 2, 2007, thousands of young adults converged on Washington, D.C. for Power Shift 2007, the first national youth summit to solve the climate crisis. Youth of all backgrounds will use their experience from local and state level climate change movements to create a fresh, positive, and inspiring vision of the future, one focused on our potential to overcome the challenges of the 21st century, build a clean energy economy, achieve energy independence, create millions of green jobs, increase global equity, and revitalize the American economy.

One of them was our own Zo Tobi, performing his original rallying songs.

3/5/08 Video: Lynch meets with NH Liberty Alliance over Real ID From RidleyReport.com Hear Governor Lynch's answer when privacy advocates ask: Will you waver on Real ID by requesting an extension? For those who are not already aware, Real ID is a controversial federal mandate of sorts, which would require expensive changes to the New Hampshire drivers' license. Concord has refused to go along, and in retaliation Washington has threatened to impose restrictions on New Hampshire residents' ability to travel and enter certain buildings.

The chase continues...See the youtube video below.

Believe it or not, this is the NH method of "securing" the vote. The question is: for whom?

NH Diebold-lovers and voting machine apologists like to point to our paper ballot hand count recounts in order to rationalize outsourcing the counting of 80-90% of our votes to private corporate interests using secret vote-counting technologies.

They say we need these secret vote-counting privatized machines on election night to spare our election officials the "burden" of staying late to count the ballots.

They say, what's the problem? We can always count the paper ballots by hand in a recount.

Hmmmm...Look at what happens to the paper ballots between Election Night Diebold count and the hand count recount. Watch the videos. Do you feel the recount is secure?

Here is the truth: Publicly observable, hand counts on ELECTION NIGHT are the only secure way to ensure the integrity of election results. There is no Butch and Hoppy show that way. There are no high-speed chases led by Butch and Hoppy with our paper ballots in their van as they try to elude citizen oversight.

Black Box Voting is focusing on a nationwide "election chain of custody" project thoughout 2008. We have adjusted communications format to focus on video, because it is getting more 15-30 year old citizens involved.

Collection of evidence through video, ESPECIALLY WHEN SEVERAL CITIZENS FAN OUT WITH CAMERAS TO WATCHDOG A SINGLE ELECTION EVENT AND SHARE FOOTAGE, will be of crucial importance in election 2008. Take note and follow suit.
