So, there's a fair test, one that simulates the situation of real elections officials insiders. Election "security" needs to be an impossible to create "two way" security against both insiders and outsiders, whereas normal computer security gives the "keys" to some "trusted" insider. But our American system is not based on trust, it is based on checks and balances, a form of institutionalized distrust. It's really not anything "personal" or offensive to laugh at the idea of anyone auditing themselves, or counting in secret.
Supervisor Stone, are we on for this real test? With your permission, this test will be limited to your personal re-election race, and to no other race, and you will express your "confidence" in the results of that race, whatever they may be, as elections officials like to do with all elections regardless of malfunctions.
Please publicly state if you will accept this challenge, or if you refuse this challenge. Should you refuse to accept this challenge, I believe the political credibility of electronic voting may self-destruct, and the citizens will have to consider what you do in response to this information: (1) intentionally continue to hide vote counting from the people of Riverside County, or (2) restore publicly observable vote counting, forthwith, in the name of upholding democracy, eliminating conflicts of interest, proving your own re-elections as legitimate, and vindicating the voting rights of all Americans, including the 92% who want the right to observe the counting.
This is not an activist issue, this is an American democracy issue.
Very truly yours,
PAUL R LEHTO
Attorney at Law
