       Triad Left Unofficial Ohio Results on Website


By John Byrne | RAW STORY Editor

 

Triad Governmental Systems, the firm accused by a county employee of tampering

with tabulating machines and attempting to plant false information into the Ohio

recount, left some unofficial results publicly available on their website, RAW

STORY has learned.

The firm left the unofficial results of at least two counties - Lorain and Madison -

available as text files on their corporate website. Both counties show "unofficial

cumulative results" from the eleven p.m. to one a.m. hour on Election Day and

Nov. 3.

The votes at those times closely correlate with the final reported results. When

told of the results, a Triad spokesman paused for several seconds before

responding. The spokesman declined to give his name."Generally the only purpose

of that on election night is that counties used to get inunduated with calls," he said.

If someone calls, he said, "they say just look at the website and you'll see what the

unofficial count is."

But the spokesman declined to answer why the unofficial results was posted on

the firm's website. When pressed, he hung up, saying, "have a nice day."Ohio's

Republican Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell also posted unofficial results

on Election Day and the days following the election on the state's website. This is

the only known incident of a private firm publishing unofficial Ohio results on

their own site.

Triad also posted official election results in their root IP domain 66.241.236.181

dated in various days in November and December for the Ohio counties of

Ashtabula , Brown, Clinton , Darke, Greene, Preble and Union .

A Triad employee was accused Tuesday of "inappropriate and likely illegal

election tampering" by Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich) in the New York Times.
After the alleged tampering took place, the state decided to recount another county

for the  Ohio recount, the Times reported.

The employee asserts that the Triad representative showed up announced, saying

he hoped to answer questions, and proceeded to dismantle a computer used for

tabulating. She also said that the technician made additional changes after she

informed him that her county was being used as a test county in the Ohio state

recount, which is currently underway.

Triad provides voting systems to nearly half of the state, including systems that

count paper ballots. Together with another company, ES&S, the two firms make

up for 80 percent voting tabulation systems of Ohio 's counties.
