3. Triad's machines have an exceptionally high "spoilage" rate.
Put them in minority precincts, and you can rely on them to reject a whole lot of votes because the machine can't read them correctly. After that, you get into potential tabulation issues with the cards that actually do make it through.

You can "lose" lotsa votes this way. It's a very traditional form of vote fraud, though they played it for all it was worth in Ohio to try to make sure the * win was too big to ask for a recount.

They weren't expecting us to come knocking on the door with our 3rd party candidates and a couple of 527 organizations! It's outside of their playbook ... or at least it was.

BTW, PLEASE donate to the recount efforts. Help America Recount is trying to fund the entire recount effort in New Mexico ... and that's critical to making sure that the media is forced to focus on more than hanging chads.
