CDR: Looking for statistically-unlikely surges in absentee ballots
by Tim May 11 Nov '00

11 Nov '00

I just heard Karen Hughes of the Bush Campaign express concern about the status of absentee ballots being mailed AFTER the outcome of the election was shown to be so close. In particular, after the legal cut-off date. This fits with what I just posted about concerns that Florida dual-citizenship residents of Israel, or tourists in Israel, sending in absentee ballots they had neglected to send in by the cut-off date. (Or, more ominously, ZOG conveniently postmarking them to match the law in Florida.) [By the way, I think in my ZOG piece I mentioned Palm Beach County. This is not the point, as the closeness of the vote is Florida-wide. This is what I meant to say.] The thing to look for is a _surge_ in ballots arriving in Florida absentee ballots as compared to other states. While other states may also have some degree of "after the fact absentee ballots," the incentives are higher in a razor-thin state like Florida. A surge of absentee ballots arriving two or three days after the controversy became obvious would be compelling evidence to justify further investigation. --Tim May -- ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.

FoxNewsChannel has announced George Dubya Bush will make a pre-emptive court strike by challenging manual recounts. This, following warning Gore not to challenge results in court. These recounts are provided by state law, and are not being done for any court. Bush's objection is that people are subject to corruption, unlike tabulating devices. Dubya's new motto: "I trust in machines, not people."

This is covered by the Presidential Succession Act of 1947. See http://www.greatsource.com/amgov/almanac/documents/key/1947_psa_1.html There would be appointed an acting president, who would stay in office only until the election was settled. The order of sucession goes; President Clinton Vice President Gore Speaker of the House Hastert President pro-tem of the Senate Gore Secretary of State Albright Secretary of the Treasury Secretary of Defense Attorney General Reno Postmaster General Secretary of the Navy Secretary of the Interior Secretary of Agriculture Secretary of Commerce Secretary of Labor I suspect that the upshot would be that Clinton would stay in office for a while. The other alternative is that the already appointed electors vote, leaving out the unappointed Florida electors. This would throw the race to Gore. Peter Trei

OTOOH, if you've a little money to invest, the optical reflection DSP techniques developed to detect sniper rifle scopes could be used to find cameras in large areas. (Laser reflected off spinning scanning mirror into target area, digitize reflected light and process to detect internal reflections of lens assemblies. Done right it can identify scope by make and model, mirror gives relative bearing to points of interest.) This technique should apply to everything but pinhole lenses, which aren't very useful for staring-eye type field surveillance. A simple commercial version of this is already available to sweep for hidden cameras in a small room type environment, scaling for large field use should be relatively simple with better optics and detectors. Its likely a few of the spooks on this list have used such equipment, its probably been deployed for a number of years now by the US.

CDR: low tech surveillance-cam countermeasures in Israel

Hizbullah operatives seeking to block IDF cameras (IsraelWire-11/10) Hizbullah guerilla forces are stepping up their anti-Israel activities, including efforts to block sophisticated IDF cameras installed along the northern border. With the use of mirrors, Hizbullah is working to block the effectiveness of the surveillance cameras installed along the northern border. The cameras, mounted atop armored personnel carriers, were deployed following the unilateral IDF withdrawal from southern Lebanon in June. Hizbullah activists are using mirrors to blind the cameras with sunlight, making surveillance increasingly difficult at a time when the northern border remains on high alert. http://www.virtualjerusalem.com/articles/542001.htm
