Washington DC Primary Election - Thousands of Fake Write-In Votes

It is very easy to hack an election using Sequoia’s e-voting machine.

There has been numerous problems regarding these machines:
a) Vote totals in New Jersey which did not add up properly
b) And that with a little effort you can vote multiple times with this machines.

And Sequoia’s response is always the same – ‘it is all untrue’ – ‘we will sue you’.

But now they have a very grave problem to deal with. The Washington DC primary election. In that election officials are puzzled about the thousand of votes that the machines added for non-existent write-in candidates.

The election board says the root of the problem is due to a faulty cartdrige.

However the interesting thing to note is that Sequoia denies a ‘faulty cartdrige’ or a ‘faulty database’.

"There's absolutely nothing wrong with the database," said Michelle Shafer, spokeswoman for California-based Sequoia Voting Systems. "There's absolutely no problem with the machines in the polling places. No. No."

Now, how would these machines conduct the most important election that the whole world is waiting for?
