As we know, there are a number of ways to rig an election. Bev Harris, at
blackboxvoting.org, is exploring a specific "cheat sheet" that has vast implications for the Trump vs. Hillary contest.
It's a vote-counting system called GEMS.
I urge you to dive into her multi-part series,
Fraction Magic (Part-1
here). Here are key Harris quotes. They're all shockers:
"Our testing [of GEMS] shows that
one vote can be counted 25 times, another only one one-thousandth of a time, effectively converting some votes to zero."
"This report summarizes the results of our review of the GEMS election management system,
which counts approximately 25 percent of all votes in the United States.
The results of this study demonstrate that a fractional vote feature is embedded in each GEMS application which can be used to invisibly, yet radically, alter election outcomes by pre-setting desired vote percentages to redistribute votes. This tampering is not visible to election observers, even if they are standing in the room and watching the computer. Use of the decimalized vote feature is unlikely to be detected by auditing or canvass procedures, and can be applied across large jurisdictions in less than 60 seconds."
"GEMS vote-counting systems are and have been operated under five trade names: Global Election Systems, Diebold Election Systems, Premier Election Systems, Dominion Voting Systems, and Election Systems & Software, in addition to a number of private regional subcontractors.
At the time of this writing, this system is used statewide in Alaska, Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Utah and Vermont, and for counties in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. It is also used in Canada."
Comment: Project Paperclip was just the tip of the iceberg. Nazis were recruited, protected, and coddled by the victors of WWII in their own interests. Nuremberg was a parade, but in the background, the Nazis just put on new hats after the war.
