History of AVMs & How We Got Here
Having worked at the university for several years as data and file manager, as well as the wife of a computer programmer, I understand the ins and outs of computer systems, softwares and the knowledge that ANY MACHINE or SOFTWARE CAN BE HACKED. PERIOD.
“Putting a computer between a voter and their ballot is going to make sure you don’t have an audit-able ....reliable election.”
AVM (AUTOMATIC VOTING MACHINE ) Since the first invention of the voting machine back in 1892, these machines have gone through well over 30 different rebuilds and at least triple that in software changes.
Through out our voting history, our machines as well as software have evolved. Upgrades, rebuilds, tweaks and twists have been made to always build a better, safer more accurate voting machine and or voting system.
Voting Systems are a multi billion dollar business. These systems are most often privatized and do not give transparency to the SOS or to the Nebraska Voter. Voting machine manufacturers are bought and sold and just REBRANDED with another name to make us think its newer, better and faster.
Today's "Voting Systems" consist of:
In 1934, Joseph P. Harris published a landmark book on “Election Administration in the United States." This comprehensive book included an in depth review of election problems, both due to error and to fraud and it suggested a broad range of reforms targeting these problems.
Harris list of types of election fraud remains useful today:
Since the advent of secret ballots (which in reality tricked us and took way the transparency of our voting systems) gave way to an uprise in more ways to create fraud, mainly with the development of electronic voting systems as mentioned above.
Most of the above mentioned information is presented in the book “Broken Ballots” by Douglas Jones and Barbara Simons. These two highly qualified individuals spent a collectively 10 years researching the history and most everything you would like to know about our elections.
We have been repeatedly told there are no internet connections to the voting machine but what about phone modem connections? These are completely hidden inside the machines, which Nebraska voting machines by ES &S do not allow ANYONE to look inside. How's that for transparency?
After the GREAT VOTING MACHINE DEBACLE in the 2000 Presidential Election between Bush vs Gore many Americans became aware of the “mishandling” of voter ballots.
During this time, Clinton Curtis, a computer programmer from Florida was asked to write a program that would change the results of a voting machine with no one ever being able to know that it was tampered with. He was successful and testified before the House of Representatives back in 2004.
BIO: Clinton Curtis was born on August 14, 1958, in Salem, Illinois. He pursued his legal education at Barry University of Law, Cambridge University, and McGeorge Law School. His professional experience includes working as a government corruption lawyer involved with veterans law, social security law, immigration law and as a computer programmer.

TRANSCRIPT of Clinton Curtis Sworn Testimony before House of Representatives 12/13/2004
After Bush v Gore 2000
Again in 2004 the Bush vs Kerry election was questioned and has been debated across the isles in every single general election since then.
In 2020 HBO came out with a documentary titled: Kill Chain: The Cyber War on America’s Elections
This documentary was released eight months prior to the 2020 election which followed Finnish hacker and election expert, Harri Hursti, as he investigated election-related hacks, uncovering just how unprotected voting systems really are. "We are very concerned because there are only three companies. You could easily hack into them. It makes it seem like all these states are doing different things but in fact, three companies are controlling this." - Senator Amy Klobuchar (D)
In the documentary, cybersecurity experts explain the multiple security vulnerabilities with these election systems and just how easy it would be to change the outcome of an election.

What About Nebraska?
Nebraska's LB193 would provide "Made in America" parts and software, the issue at hand would not be solved as we see with what I previously mentioned. LB193, if passed MUST be a companion to both LB808 and LB457 as well as the other voter integrity bills placed before this committee earlier this session. LB457 is a good start to combat election fraud, while ballots MUST have the ability to track.... Those over seeing MUST BE SWORN IN to provide the people their information is safe within the election system as much as possible. Surveillance, if maintained properly, would assist in voters being able to once again trust in our American Voting System.
Quoting Amazon Books...“For many of us, the presidential election of 2000 was a wake-up call. The controversy following the vote count led to demands for election reform. But the new voting systems that were subsequently introduced to the market have serious security flaws, and many are confusing and difficult to use. Moreover, legislation has not kept up with the constantly evolving voting technology, leaving little to no legal recourse when votes are improperly counted. How did we come to acquire the complex technology we now depend on to count votes? Douglas Jones and Barbara Simons probe this question, along with public policy and regulatory issues raised by our voting technologies. Broken Ballots is a thorough and incisive analysis of the current voting climate that approaches American elections from technological, legal, and historical perspectives. The authors examine the ways in which Americans vote today, gauging how inaccurate, unreliable, and insecure our voting systems are. An important book for election administrators, political scientists, and students of government and technology policy, Broken Ballots is also a vital tool for any voting American.”
The book, Broken Ballots, concurs to the logical reasoning, that ALL elections MUST HAVE an audit done by hand counts done by a team of well trained employees sworn to represent the political parties.
We CAN and MUST HAND COUNT our BALLOTS!
I am often reminded that doing something the same way over and over again expecting different results is the definition of insanity. That’s exacting how our current SOS has our election audits set up and it is WRONG! In a recent hearing where Russ Barger questioned the election count and was not permitted to do so, as SOS Bob Evnen said the recount must be done the same way it was originally counted. INSANE!
We, the people, must get control of the machines.... not the other way around.
Cyberbreach One of the Largest In History
EXTRA RESEARCH YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE OF: Back in 2017, a cyberattack gained the voting information from the Republican National Committee database. This database held ALL information related to registered voters from back until 2000. THIS IS INFORMATION could have been used to DIRTY UP VOTER ROLLS in our elections. This cyber attack was one of the largest cyber attacks in our history and MSM did not report on it neither did the RNC!!!! Didn’t we have the right to know ALL OUR INFORMATION had been stolen?

198 Million Voter Records Exposed
Unfortunately, it's not uncommon to hear that a trove of voter data was breached or exposed somewhere in the world. But on June 19, researcher Chris Vickery announced a discovery that would give even the most jaded security expert pause. He had discovered a publicly accessible database that contained personal information for 198 million US voters—possibly every American voter going back more than 10 years.
The conservative data firm Deep Root Analytics hosted the database on an Amazon S3 server. More than a terabyte of voter information was publicly accessible to anyone on the web for at least 3 days that they are aware of.
FOR YOUR INFO...THIS WAS MORE RECORDS EXPOSED THAN PEOPLE WHO VOTED (150M) IN THE 2020 ELECTION which was an all time high.

My thoughts on....
Nebraska Voter Integrity
To have Nebraskans trust the election process here in our state.
WE MUST HAVE:
Evnen says we can’t afford to hand count.... wrong answer....
We can’t afford to NOT hand count. Our VOTE is worth every penny!!!
WE CAN and MUST HAND COUNT BALLOTS!!!
Something else to think about:
NYC (1976) hand counted over 13 times the amount of ballots in one day than the metropolitan Omaha area machine counted in the 2020 election.
The most recent Rasmussen Pole showed 71% of Americans are uncertain if their votes have been properly accounted for.
IT IS UP TO OUR GOVERNMENT TO PROVE THE ELECTION IS FAIR!
Not up to the people to prove it was not fair.

My thoughts on....
Nebraska Voter Integrity
To have Nebraskans trust the election process here in our state.
WE MUST HAVE:
- IN PERSON VOTING
- ONE DAY VOTING
- STATE HOLIDAY VOTING
- PHOTO ID
- PAPER BALLOTS
- #2 PENCILS
- NO MAIL IN BALLOTS UNLESS MILITARY or MEDICAL
- IN PERSON VOTER REGISTRATION
- MORE VOTER REGISTRATION OFFICES
- MORE SWORN IN ELECTION/VOTER WORKERS
- SOS CAN NOT BE THE SOLE INDIVIDUAL CALLING THE SHOTS FOR OUR ELECTIONS because he has himself admitted to the loss of 25,000 ballots and refused to do a hand count or investigate the HUGE PROBLEM!
- NO REGISTATION TO VOTE DAY OF ELECTIONS
- MAKE EDUCATING THE PEOPLE ON ELECTIONS A TOP PRIORITY
- educate on the importance of voting in person
- educate on the how tos of voting in Nebraska
Evnen says we can’t afford to hand count.... wrong answer....
We can’t afford to NOT hand count. Our VOTE is worth every penny!!!
WE CAN and MUST HAND COUNT BALLOTS!!!
Something else to think about:
- In the 2020 election machines counted ballots for the general election in the Omaha metropolitan area (Douglas,Sarpy, Cass, Saunders, Washington and Dodge) 429,750 ballots were cast.
- In 1976 we hand counted ballots. The general election in NYC (Carter v Ford) there were a total of 6,490,349 ballots cast.
NYC (1976) hand counted over 13 times the amount of ballots in one day than the metropolitan Omaha area machine counted in the 2020 election.
The most recent Rasmussen Pole showed 71% of Americans are uncertain if their votes have been properly accounted for.
IT IS UP TO OUR GOVERNMENT TO PROVE THE ELECTION IS FAIR!
Not up to the people to prove it was not fair.
