Title: Nevada voting machines automatically checking Harry Reid's name; voting machine technicians are SEIU members

Clark County is where three quarters of Nevada's residents and live and where Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's son Rory is a county commissioner. Rory is also a Democratic candidate for governor.

Since early voting started, there have been credible reports that voting machines in Clark County, Nevada are automatically checking Harry Reid's name on the ballot:

Voter Joyce Ferrara said when they went to vote for Republican Sharron Angle, her Democratic opponent, Sen. Harry Reid's name was already checked.

Ferrara said she wasn't alone in her voting experience. She said her husband and several others voting at the same time all had the same thing happen.

"Something's not right," Ferrara said. "One person that's a fluke. Two, that's strange. But several within a five minute period of time -- that's wrong."

Clark County Registrar of Voters Larry Lomax said there is no voter fraud, although the issues do come up because the touch-screens are sensitive. For that reason, a person may not want to have their fingers linger too long on the screen after they make a selection at any time.

Now there's absolutely no independently verified evidence of chicanery with the voting machines (yet), but it is worth noting that the voting machine technicians in Clark County are members of the Service Employees International Union. The SEIU spent $63 million in elections in 2008 and is planning on spending $44 million more this election cycle -- nearly all of that on Democrats. White House political director Patrick Gaspard is formerly the SEIU's top lobbyist, and former SEIU president Andy Stern was the most frequent visitor to the White House last year.

Just in Nevada, the SEIU has given a lot to groups that are heavily vested in the state -- in just one prominent example, the SEIU gave $500,000 to the Patriot Majority PAC, which has spent $1.3 million against Reid's opponent Sharron Angle. They've and have dropped large sums directly on candidates:

NV-3

Joe Heck (R)

Oppose

$140,000.00

NV-3

Dina Titus (D)

Support

$344,984.00

NV-Senate

Sharron E. Angle (R)

Oppose

$225,000.00

Now the county voting technicians aren't unique here -- many of Clark County's employees are also represented by the SEIU. But it is worth mentioning, the SEIU is hyperpoliticized and has seen its fair share of corruption. (It certainly seems more questionable than Diebold, the voting machine manufacturer with Republican ties that was at the center of many conspiracy theories on the left during the Bush administration.)

Unions increasingly have a major financial stake in election outcomes, both as a matter of their own election expenditures, and as a function of what they stand to gain if their legislative agenda is enacted. Should they really be responsible for tabulating the votes? That's certainly something voters ought to think long and hard about.

Below is Clark County's SEIU contract -- On Page 75, in Appendix A, voting machine technicians are listed as positions represented by SEIU.

This is why government employees should not be allowed to unionize. We can't have election workers whose union leaders are overwhelmingly biased towards one political party.

This should be an issue in the GOP Presidential primary. Will the candidates pledge to rescind Kennedy's executive order that allow government employees to join unions? The answer has to be yes before I'll vote for them.

Funny, the uber liberals screamed 'Diebold stole the elections!' in Florida and Ohio respectively when Bush was elected twice....yet they have nothing to say about this....

You know, since 12122000 we Dirty Fuckin Hippies have been screaming that E Voting Devices are IMMINENTLY hackable.

That No One knows how their vote is tabulated.

And yet, ONLY when the Dems (And the Green;} FINALLY figure out how to flip the damn things do we get outrage.

Well, that's marginally better than you replying about drugs. ;}

And as you were defending the GOP v the Dems, that would make the GOP 'your side.' Or I can just say your Right Wing. That better? ;}

"Whether they were or weren't, doesn't really matter. The fact is, nobody should be forced --- as the entire state of Nevada is --- to vote on 100% unverifiable touch-screen voting machines. Not even in the state where slot machines, if not e-voting machines, go through unbelievable rigorous testing. And if the election results are reported as close as they are expected to be, there will be no way to disprove the inevitable cries of "fraud" whether any actually occurred or not. That point, is at the heart of my piece for Truthout today which begins this way:"

Hand Count the Votes. The ONLY way to be sure. But then the Right Wing doesn't wan that? Just like the Right Wing favors Voter Suppresion. They have no choice. They're not more than 25% of the electorate.

"Given that the Angle/Reid contest in Nevada is likely to be among the closest - and most closely-watched - races for the US Senate this November 2, both parties would be wise to get to court and file for an order to ensure all of the hard drives, flash memory chips and memory cartridges to be used in their electronic voting machines during both early voting and on Election Day are securely retained for 22 months after the election."

We're going to get rid of computers. When is all.

Nope. Conservative.

Basically I'm a RINO, because the GOP isn't conservative. It just pretends it is every election cycle.

Same as the Dems these days (laughing)

Well then stay where you are, cause I'll be comin' around from your right. 8D

"GOP cries of "voter fraud" were, themselves, a fraud, meant to intimidate voters into not voting and officials into not counting legally cast ballots.

A close Senatorial election in Nevada won't be like the razor-thin Minnesota Senate in 2008 where they were able to carry out the longest, most thorough and most transparent election recount in US history, coming to a consensus of all interested and serious parties that one candidate actually defeated the other - by a hair - legitimately, if by a hair. No such certainty will obtain with Nevada's 100 percent faith-based voting systems.

The Voting Machines That Never Should Have Been

With respect to the Sequoia Edge voting machine, the paper trail that Reid seems to rely on is meaningless."

More nonsense. Nobody believes that was the 'most thorough and most transparent election recount in US history' unless they are insane, smoking crack, or both.

To state this, you have to believe that 99.999 percent of all 'discovered votes' were for Franken, with none going to Coleman.

Thats a statistical impossibility, and anyone familiar with that race knows it.
