While the issue of concealed vote counting has never been directly put to our courts in New York – because who would have thought such a thing could even be conceived in America – we nonetheless have direct precedence from the Court of Appeals regarding the worthlessness of any returns (the election night results) produced in a concealed manner. In 1874 during the vote counting, the lights went out. The Court of Appeals wrote in Judson v Thacher, 55 NY 525, 535:
There was a short interval of entire darkness.... The opportunity to commit the fraud existed.... The return was no longer entitled to be regarded. It was rendered wholly uncertain to what extent the fraudulent substitution had been carried, and it was not material whether the inspectors were privy to the fraud by which the uncertainty was occasioned .... [The return was rendered] so uncertain and unreliable that it could not be used for any purpose." (emphasis supplied)
The election return produced from software code, which is not a human language, and which can be altered without detection, is as unreliable and uncertain as the return created in darkness.
Those who cannot remember the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it. How many before us have died to protect the right which protects all other rights? We cannot afford to forget our history. For the sake of the nation suffering under the yoke of unconstitutionally unreliable elections, and for the sake of New York, the last state to have held out against the tide of such disenfranchisement, we have a responsibility to stop computerized vote counting now, while we still can.
