Just a busted PC that needed a hard drive. I don't know why you try to spin conspiracy theories from these things. Even a Democrat on the board didn't suspect fraud - just documenting the event.<br /><br />http://www.onnnews.com/Global/story.asp?S=2702858<br /><br />"...Sherole Eaton, the deputy director of the Hocking County Board of Elections, wrote in a signed affidavit that a software technician took apart the county's main computer tabulator to fix the battery, then put it back together and told her not to turn it off. ..."<br /><br />"...Eaton, a Democrat, said she signed the affidavit in an attempt to document what happened.<br /><br />"I never did suspect fraud and I don't now. That wasn't my intent," she said Thursday. "I was just bringing it forward. I'm not a whistle-blower."...<br /><br />"...Brett Rapp, president of TRIAD Governmental Systems Inc., says the visit was standard procedure during a recount, something the Ohio secretary of state's office confirmed Thursday.<br /><br />Secretary of State spokesman Carlo LoParo said every county elections board contracts with vendors to prepare their election machines. TRIAD wrote and maintains voting software used in 41 of Ohio's 88 counties.<br /><br />Ohio law requires that only results from the race being recounted can appear on the county's tabulation forms. That means technicians must configure the recount file so the tabulator counts that race, LoParo said.<br /><br />The software itself is not changed, Rapp said.<br /><br />In Hocking County, problems arose because the county's 14-year-old Dell computer, which is used to tabulate ballots, failed to boot up. The battery was low, so the computer didn't save the information it needed to tell the hard drive how to operate, Rapp said.<br /><br />To get the computer running so it could be configured for a recount, the technician had to remove the hard drive and put it into a separate, newer computer that had a viable battery to get a readout of the hard drive specifications.<br /><br />The technician then re-installed the hard drive into the original computer, using those specifications to tell the computer how to communicate with the hard drive and finish booting up. To protect the battery, the computer must remain turned on, which is why the technician told Eaton to keep it running, Rapp said."...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926451.post-1103342990626630182004-12-17T23:09:00.000-05:002004-12-17T23:09:00.000-05:00What's a cretin?

Conyers is nothing outside of his district, and he's WAY out of his district in Ohio. Focus on the important stuff! What color is Laura's gown? This thing's over......been over since Nov. 2. The Lib implosion is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Enjoy it, buddy! We luv ya! Bush beat 'em like a rented mule. Kerry was as dull as a mud fence. What was his plan again? He lost two Gore states for crying out loud! Bush won Ohio by a margin greater than Carter's (76) and Clinton's (92) combined! We won!!! This is the longest post-election celebration in history, and you're here to experience it! Feel better?Dr. Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10499628452007758071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926451.post-1103154071700230032004-12-15T18:41:00.000-05:002004-12-15T18:41:00.000-05:00What happens in Hocking County Ohio is really none of John Conyers' business. He needs to go back to the cesspool of the world otherwise known as Michigan and leave Ohio affairs to Ohioans.<br /><br />This is the problem they have on the left. Nobody in Ohio holds them in any regard except for Ted Strickland whose shenanigans are revealing him to be of less than gubanatorial timber. So they must import fellow whackos with stature in the whacko community like Conyers, Maxine Waters, and Jesse Jackson. Like in the 1950s when they were blocking the doors of the schools and beating civil rights protestors, the Democratic party continues to be a party of dividers, of hatred, and of deception. Too many good and decent liberals are being deceived by this group of inconsequential troglodytes.<br /><br />Let me give you some advice and you're lucky to be getting it for free since I usually charge for the pearls of wisdom I dispense.
