A Groundbreaking Exposé
Black Box Voting by Bev Harris (@BevHarrisWrites on X), published in 2004, exposes electronic voting machine dangers, building on the 2000 election’s chaos. Harris’s CNN interview reinforces her findings, aligning with Return to Hand Counting’s mission for transparent hand counting.
The 2000 Election’s Lessons
Florida’s 2000 election, per University of Washington and Britannica, saw 172,000 mis-votes from hanging chads and butterfly ballots, resolved by Bush v. Gore. HAVA’s electronic machines, critiqued in Newsmax, worsened risks. Harris’s book, like Votescam’s 1996 interview, shows machines hide fraud, as seen in Wyoming’s 2024 ballot error.
Machine Risks Uncovered
Harris uncovered a voting firm’s ties to a convicted embezzler in 2000, exposing vulnerabilities Pandora’s Black Box (1996) predicted. Machines lack paper trails, hiding fraud. Mike Lindell’s trial (June 16, 2025) raised awareness of these risks, despite a gag order.
“Their” Narrative Debunked
“They” claim machines ensure accuracy, but Harris’s Black Box Voting and CNN interview reveal hacking risks. The 2000 election’s opacity fueled distrust, unlike hand counting’s transparency. Votescam’s call for oversight aligns with our mission to counter “their” narrative with visible votes.
Hand Counting: The Solution
Our Missouri Method, used in a 2023 election, ensures transparency. Estimates show St. Charles County could save $68,000 annually, rebutting their Election Director’s flawed estimate. Hand counting catches fraud—one bad ballot is a felony we prove. Our eManual teaches clerks this system.
