Like peanuts in a piggy bank
Theftproof by design
Chain of Custody
and why it doesn't matter
unless you've been robbed
aka
The Power of CheckSums
In software, there is a problem, called the packet-relay problem, also known as
the "traveling salesman" problem. The problem is identical to the "BallotBox Chain
of Custody" encountered by voters. How to know if votes have been lost?
The answer is not Chain of Custody. Indeed, packet-relay is the basis for the Internet, and yet you do not know where your packet may go, but you do know
what's in it.
You do not send an entire file, all at once. You send it in pieces, and when it
gets to it's destination, you have to put it all back together again, in the right
order, and know that it's all there.
How does the Internet work? How are you amazingly and reliably reading what I've
typed, accurately? CheckSums.
CheckSums. Just like your wallet. You check how much money you have in your wallet
before you leave home, and after you arrive at your destination. If it's not the
same, you have to check the Chain of Custody. With software, that is quite easy,
and indeed, hard to evade.
So how does www.VoteBankAccount.com use CheckSums to insure the accuracy of the
Vote Count? See diagram below. Just think of every CheckSum as checking your wallet.
That's all we're doing.
VBA (CheckSum = numballots) ---->
voter
| <--- sent via sendmail cc: - carbon-copy of what goes to voter
v
allvotes@gmail.com
(CheckSum = numballots)
So regardless, of who we pass our wallet to, we know how much money should be in
the wallet when we get it back. Better yet, it's all American Express Check Money,
so if someone steals it, you just get it right back. And even better yet, we have
a complete checksum, taken each time the wallet changed hands, so we know who took
the money, in our case, who stole or changed the votes.
On recount, the Chain of custody is as follows in the below diagram:
VBA (CheckSum = numballots) ----> voter
| <--- sent via sendmail cc: - carbon-copy of what goes to voter
v
recountallvotes@gmail.com
(CheckSum = numballots)
As more votes come in, the precinct vote software will be
enhanced, and precinct cc: emails would be sent as well as precinct level recount
email addresses.
And remember, Code Independence is the key to all this. The problem
with the "proprietary voting systems" like Diebold, is the Code Dependence. Yes,
America, we are Code Dependent. The way you become "Code Independent", is by using
tandardize data, like the Internet uses URLs (Uniform Resource Locators). Our resource
this time, is the vote. Uniform Vote Locators.
Well the trick is to package the vote, in a standard and universally
used data structure: The email. Where CheckSums abound, at every corner, at every
router that email encounters. It's like having video cameras on every corner, with
a Fed Ex Package delivery.
Thus and therefore, that is why, Vote Counts are totally secure at
www.VoteBankAccount.com. You can drop, steal, change, mangle, and destroy at vote.
But you can't change all the CheckSums. You will know money is missing from your
wallet, and you will know who took it.
On top of all that, let's say the CIA Gangsters changed every vote, somehow.
Let's say, on Election Day, the Chain of Custody is hacked. The votes are changed in a secret
room rented to the CIA by ATT.

finalvotes@gmail.com
(CheckSum = numballots)
Let's say, the votes to the finalvotes@gmail.com have been
hacked/changed. Though the winner at www.VoteBankAccount.com
is Ron Paul, the finalvotes email account, shows John McCain the winner. What are
we to do? Well the final DB dump would show the truth, but let's say they got that too, and somehow modified
all the precinctemails accounts as well. If surpassing every one of these CheckSum
obstacles, if this is possible, then, What next? Is all lost?
Basically, designing a system for the worse case scenario, complete and total system
failure, is what makes it totally secure. The reason the internet is so unfailingly
reliable, is because it has a Plan B for total failure. It just
resends the packet.
So what is Plan B? The votes are in the hands of the voters. In their
email box and out their printer. Independent recount email addresses could be set
up and advertised with out without the help of any voting "authority", including
myself, though I'd be happy to help, and would indeed, hunt down the perps.
So there, all by citizen initiative, and grass-roots organizing, an
independent recount can be done, without travel expenses, and mailing expenses,
all from the comfort and frugality of one's local community. The votes arrive at
RonPaulRecount@gmail.com, or any email chosen, for paper counts
and email program counts. Code Independent Data is the key. The vote data emails
are code independent and can be read by any email program you choose to use. You
can't hack them all is the key. Many side by side counts can be done with different
programs in order to cross check code, if desired.
For instance, say Barack Obama's supporters, thought their votes had
been stolen. All they have to do, is setup an email called say, obamarecount@yahoo.com,
whatever email you choose, and post a message at barackobama.com for all voters
to forward their finalvote confirmation emails to that email address. You could
even bust me for stealing votes. :).
The system is safer than safe. You can rob it, and still not lose a
thing. Because you got multiple verified copies of everything, in multiple place.
It's the way they tell us to be prepared for earthquakes in San Francisco. :). Your
data may be destroyed. You'd better have a backup, somewhere else.
So even tho, here at www.VoteBankAccount.com, we guard the code, the
vote emails and the secure, encrypted connection lines, like it was Fort Knox, the
joke is, even if they break in, the gold isn't at Fort Knox.
