"We can print each vote out," she said, but Welch astutely questioned how and when votes can be printed, They aren't printed at the same time as the voter votes, and the printouts simply re-create what the computer program records, so what good is that?

What can be done about this?

Welch has indicated that he will be willing to file certain public records requests to cast more light on this issue. He is meeting with other public officials in an effort to get paper ballots.

Black Box Voting has set up a new Election Protection section of this Web site. Welch and other citizens can publish all documents, results, and reports immediately now. Each state has an area for each jurisdiction. Go to "Forums" and scroll to the state, choose "Election Protection" and scroll to the appropriate county.


Wharton County can be found here:

Three ways to upload documents:

1) Mail them to Black Box Voting and we'll scan and post
2) Fax them to our magic toll free fax number, which converts them to pdf format, and we'll post them. To get the magic fax number, e-mail crew@blackboxvoting.org and ask for it.
3) Self-upload the documents: Register, log in, go to state and county, post a message and use the "attach" feature to attach your scanned document.

Black Box Voting will provide related follow-up public records request letters for Jim Welch and other citizens who wish to investigate this matter. E-mail if you'd like to get involved in this or other Election Protection actions.
