CDR: Florida absentee ballots

http://www.tvdance.com/bush-gore/ ---- Overseas absentee ballots, as opposed to in-state... http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0046/elect4.shtml WASHINGTON, NOVEMBER 15-With the presidential election supposedly hanging on Friday's count of absentee ballots from overseas, observers caution this potential bomb may turn out to be a dud. So far only 447 military ballots have been received by the postal authorities. At that rate, The Washington Post calculates, the amount of military ballots would end up at an underwhelming 750-a far cry from the originally projected 2300. Military votes were projected to make up the bulk of overseas ballots, which are set to be tallied on Friday, November 17. As the Voice reported last week, Monte Friedkin, chairman of the Palm Beach County Democratic Party, said state elections officials had not picked up at least 500 absentee ballots from the post office on Election Day, raising the possibility that someone is tampering with the absentee vote. In theory, absentee ballots from the armed forces would help Republican George W. Bush, who clings to a slender 300-vote margin. In 1996, Republican Bob Dole received most of those votes. But Pentagon observers caution this may not be the case. While there is no love lost for Clinton-Gore among the military branches, it's not a done deal by any means. Soldiers and sailors vote along class lines, with the brass going for Bush. But the enlisted soldiers, especially black men and women, could just as easily turn out for Gore. Florida beefed up its laws governing absentee ballots after a Miami election was overturned due to fraud. But Democrats question whether the statutes are working, because they claim Republic an-controlled county elections officials violated the law by sending out absentee ballots to people who didn't ask for them. State law stipulates voters must request absentee ballots. Perhaps the small number of absentee ballots can be explained by the following: WorldNetDaily reported yesterday that a source on the USS Tarawa, a U.S. assault ship near Yemen, said that "thousands" of ballots were languishing onboard. The Pentagon, which first denied this report, now says, according to the New York Post, that the ballots of some 3000 sailors and marines on the USS Tarawa, USS Duluth, and USS Anchorage would be flown back to the United States "expeditiously." Capt. Van P. Brinson, who says he did not receive his absentee ballot, told WorldNetDaily he penned a November 8 e-mail in which he wrote: "I cannot speak for the remainder of the crew of the Tarawa, but I do know that the majority of the Marines and sailors that I have spoken with are in the same boat. What is distressing about the situation is that a majority of the pilots aboard are registered voters in Florida." Stripped of confusing press reporting and legalistic mumbo jumbo, the results of the endless Florida recount so far amount to next to nothing. According to Sam Smith?s Prorev.com afternoon tally, after a week of recounting, the change in the vote "finally certified by the state for Palm Beach County represented two-tenths of 1 percent." As reported previously, Gore carried Palm Beach County by 140,000 votes, collecting 24 percent of the total vote.

Re: Public Key Infrastructure: An Artifact...

As an aside ... AADS (http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/ ) relies on existing business processes that provide secure bindings in account records ... just adding public key & digital signature to existing authentication processes for non-face-to-face and/or face-to-face transactions (i.e. the meaning of what is in the account bindings continues to be what the business processes have defined those meanings to be). existing e-commerce is straight forward because it operates almost totally within existing account-based business processes ... and the business transactions tend to include more complex bindings from the acocunt records (than just authentication) ... things like real-time credit-limit, open-to-buy, running totals, month-to-date and/or year-to-date activity, etc. the original PKI target from the early '80s for offline email authentication was a problem since it mostly any kind of authentication binding processes.

CDR: Bush's legal contradictions

It's all just politics... Bush said keep it out of the courts, then went to Federal court. Now...(snipped) http://foxnews.com/election_night/111600/trail.sml # # The Florida Supreme Court, in a one-paragraph decision, denied # a petition by Florida Secretary of State Harris to halt manual # recounts in at least two counties and consolidate 11 lower-court # cases into a single one. The ruling gave elections officials # in Palm Beach and Broward counties reason to restart a hand count # of as many as 1 million votes. # # The Bush campaign has argued that the seven-member state panel # - filled entirely by Democrats - has no authority in the case. # "It's my opinion that the [Florida] Supreme Court has no # jurisdiction," said Barry Richard, a Bush legal adviser.

CDR: Late-postmarked ballots from ZOG-occupied Palestine
by Tim May 16 Nov '00

16 Nov '00

Now we hear of calls urging dual-citizenship residents of ZOG-occupied Palestine to send in absentee ballots to Florida, especially for the estimated 400 dual-citizenship, or visiting tourists, from Palm Beach County. The claim is that if they can "prove" they were unable to have them postmarked by the time polls closed in Florida, due to the violence or whatever, that maybe they will still be allowed in. (And I wouldn't put it past the ZOG to rig the postmarks and then put the ballots on a fast jet to Florida.) According to a Reuters story, " Friday November 10 12:52 PM ET U.S. Absentee Voters in Mideast 'Unknown Quantity' By Danielle Haas JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Absentee voters living in Israel and Palestinian territories could influence the outcome of the razor-edge U.S. presidential election but are unlikely to be able to vote late, a U.S. embassy official said on Friday. Some analysts had speculated that voters registered in Florida but living in Israel and Palestinian-ruled areas could still send in ballot papers if they proved they were unable to postmark them by the November 7 deadline.
