11/20/2006 Entry: "Let's play Stump the Vote in OC, part 2"

"I know that one of my co-bloggers was refused access to a paper ballot when he requested one. He was shown the paper audit printer on the electronic machine and told “that’s your paper ballot” and there was no other way to vote but on the electronic machines. This fits with the information given to me by a poll worker in Santa Ana that they had been told to not offer paper ballots to voters and issue paper ballots as only a last resort. No wonder paper ballots were not offered to relieve the long lines of more than two hours. No wonder there were not enough paper ballots to issue in an emergency. It appears that the Registrar was doing everything possible to maximize the votes cast on the electronic equipment.

"Now I really don’t want to go too far down the road of conspiracy theories, and I do have my tin-foil hat securely in place, but this information sure makes me wonder when I see a staffer insert a jump drive into the tabulating machine in the supposedly “secure” tabulating room.

"I cannot categorically say that Neal Kelley deliberately acted, for partisan reasons, to suppress the vote in this election. I simply do not have direct evidence to prove it. What I do know is that whether it was with deliberate intent of simply gross incompetence, Neal Kelly failed in his duty to ensure that all individuals eligible to vote had the opportunity to do so free from intimidation. His failure to do his job effectively caused people to be denied the right to vote, to not have access to a paper ballot upon request, and to wait for hours in line to vote."
