This should be a huge concern for us. As the previous article, "Walking into a trap?" indicates, if you order a recount without first getting answers to the chain of custody questions, you may end up with a sham recount with stuffed or substituted ballots. No candidate's campaign should be satisfied with "trust" without asking and demanding answers to chain of custody questions.

I was told by one of the Kucinich people that chain of custody has always been completely trustworthy in the past, and that I should stick to securing the memory cards and chips and not get into ballot chain of custody issues. Basing an analysis of the CURRENT chain of custody on past (or imagined) chain of custody perceptions is like saying, "I won't check to see if I locked the door tonight because I have locked it before."

WHAT'S NEXT?

They are recounting Manchester ballots tomorrow.

PREDICTION: They'll match all right. Exactly as Nancy Tobi predicted. This recount will be used to illustrate that the LHS-coded voting machines should be trusted.

It's very difficult to prepare articles with documentation and video while spending days and nights in the field, but I hope to get more information to you shortly about some of the field work of Susan Pynchon and Melisa Urda, who visited New Hampshire election sites asking questions about ballot accounting procedures, memory card storage, and looking into various questions. They obtained a fairly horrific document from LHS Associates.

Stay tuned.
