Andrew Paquette, at the American Thinker.com, has a piece where he documents that he discovered an algorithm that is imbedded in the New York voter polls. The issue seems at first glance to be too technical to be of much concern, let alone to an international audience. That is what I initially thought, that this would be of no concern to Australians, say. However, the algorithm links “county voter identification (CID) and State Board of Elections identification (SBOEID) numbers in such a way that it could be used as a third ID number. This could be used to clandestinely tag and track records of interest, such as phantom voters.” It seems that this system could be used for electronic electoral fraud: “We know fictitious records exist in the rolls. We also know those records have been used to vote. On top of that, we know that records like those belonging to fictitious voters have been deleted. None of this is visible at the county board of elections level. This means an easily exploited opportunity exists to inject any number of illegally generated SBOEID numbers (which we know has been done), assign votes to them (which we know has been done), and then delete the evidence by deleting the SBOEID numbers associated with excess votes (also, this has been done).”
I agree that all of this is highly technical, and I just picked up the basics to write this. The issue though is due to the systems complexity, could things like this exist in many other jurisdictions, being manipulated to produce electoral fraud? It would be hard for investigation, as few people would understand what is going on.
