By Allen L Roland (about the author)
For OpEdNews: Allen L Roland - Writer " John Silvestro and his small private business, LHS Associates, has exclusive programming contracts for ALL New Hampshire voting machines, which combined will count about 81 percent of the vote in the primary. And as to Super Tuesday and beyond: Silvestro also has the programming contracts for the states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont. NEW HAMPSHIRE HAD NOT IMPLEMENTED MITIGATIONS FOR KNOWN RISKS Not only that, they have turned all the programming over to a sole source private company, taking vote counting for 81 percent of New Hampshire citizens out of the public domain. LHS is not subject to public records requirements, as the government is, at least, not in New Hampshire. Their control over memory card contents is absolute; when cards malfunction or get lost, LHS brings the replacements." Those Diebold op-scan machines are the exact same ones that were hacked in the HBO documentary, Hacking Democracy. 2008 New Hampshire Democratic Primary Results --Total Democratic Votes: 286,139 - Machine vs Hand (RonRox.com) 09 Jan 2008 In summary, not only was Clinton's New Hampshire victory tainted if not apparently hacked but the Clintons must now clearly be seen as part of the Washington establishment and status quo and, in no way, agents of true change.
