26. Some people tweaked the vote using back doors to the tabulators.
That's the best guess I think for what happened around the country, as another poster recently said on another thread. Bev Harris showed how the tabulators have these back doors built in and how they have been refined over the years. I think the back door she used in her demonstrations had undergone about 12 different modifications and improvements. So it was obviously there on purpose. It would have taken about 15 secs to achieve the results, it would have left no trace, there would have been no way anybody could have even investigated it, let along found anything. The courts protect the source code from investigation since that's "proprietary" material, trade secrets. Elections officers rely on the technicians from the various companies to keep the machines working properly, i.e., doing what they're designed to do: rig elections.
