Memory Sticks Used to Program Philly’s Voting Machines Were Stolen From Elections Warehouse in September
Well you sure haven’t heard this in the mainstream media, have you America?
A laptop and several memory sticks used to program Philadelphia’s voting machines were stolen from a city warehouse in East Falls, officials confirmed In September, setting off a scramble to investigate and to ensure the machines had not been compromised they claimed.
This story barely received any attention back in September but it sure matters now, doesn’t it?
Though it remains unclear when the equipment was stolen, sources briefed on the investigation said the items vanished this week of September 30th. The laptop belonged to an on-site employee for the company that supplies the machines. It and the USB drives were the only items believed to have been taken.
City officials vowed back then that the theft would not disrupt voting on Nov. 3. They were wrong.
“We are confident,” said Nick Custodio, a deputy to Lisa Deeley, chair of the city commissioners, who oversee elections, “that this incident will not in any way compromise the integrity of the election.”
