  FRAUD ELECTION REPORTING ?
  

  lorida: Volusia County, again - Received a report that Volusia County Elections, in violation of state law, basically put the whole poll closing process on lockdown and barred not only video, but observers. We will await more details on this. It's my understanding that the Hacking Democracy producers happen to be in Volusia County...
  
  Colorado: More of the same pattern - voter forced to vote provisional because someone pretending to be them already voted. Similar situations have been reported now in several states; in Collin County Texas, a voter was able to prove that indeed a fraudulent ballot WAS cast in his name. Thousands of unsolicited absentee ballot applications were received nationwide about a month ago, often with return addresses that were to the wrong address. More:
  
  Massachusetts: Cambridge - 6,400 names left off voter list, forcing voters to provisional ballots. Other option: Come back later. City of Cambridge says it gave wrong list. More:

  Texas: Harris County - Wife still registered, husband and son dropped from voter rolls, made to use provisional ballot. Recommendation: Did you move to a different address in Katy? That might shed light on whether it is a legal purge. ANYONE GIVEN PROVISIONAL BALLOT: Bring every kind of ID you can think of when you vote, whether required or not. Stand there and watch to make sure poll worker fills out every item accurately and completely on the outer envelope, or even qualified voters may have vote disqualified. And yes, this is a crock or a crooked way to run elections. More:

  Michigan: Muskegon - Machine reading "overvote" error repeatedly, poll worker overriding message. The ES&S M100 scanners are beeping on many ballots, but not all, and an error reads on the screen indicating an overvote (which can invalidate the vote). The M100s have been having a variety of problems nationwide. Recommendations: Request a statement in writing from the main elections office (not the temporary poll worker, ask the Town Clerk or county elections administrator). If you see repeated instances of this error, ask them to put in writing what they claim the reason to be. Also ask poll workers to write it down on the problem log to make sure it gets documented into the public record. More:

  Connecticut: Hartford - A box of voter registration forms not entered yet, Election Day. Voter told not on list. They found her registration in an unopened box of new voter registrations. Recommendations: We suspect there are many locations that have unentered boxes stashed here and there. This has been documented before in at least three states. Be assertive, and if you are given a provisional ballot, BE SURE POLLWORKER FILLS OUT ALL INFORMATION on outer envelope. Even if your registration is deemed valid, if pollworker does not complete info on envelope it is likely to be disqualified. More:

  Texas: Jim Wells County - Voting machine not working in Alice, TX; Ballots being set aside into emergency bin. Recommended action: Report also to 866-OURVOTE and please go there at poll closing to videotape what happens to the votes that they set aside. Some Texas locations are obstructive; if not permitted to videotape AFTER poll closing, report that and see if you can get still photos and write a report of what you observe them doing with the set-aside ballots.

  New York: Brooklyn - Lever machine behaving oddly, lever bouncing back to vote position before voting process terminated. Recommendation: Report to the numbers given. Try to obtain credentials to observe and videotape poll closing. Need to contact a political party to do this, minor parties like Working Families Party, Greens, Libertarians may have more availability for observer credentials. Videotape what happens with this lever machine at the tally phase. More details:

  Florida: Palm Beach County - Scanner not working at polling place, poll workers are putting ballots in a box to deal with later. Recommended action: Return to polling place at poll closing and video what's done with ballots in that box, and video the polling place results tape. Also report to 1-866-OURVOTE and 1-877-GOCNN08.
