Rigged Voting Machines in Kansas? Appeals Court Hears Case
Rigged Voting Machines in Kansas? Appeals Court Hears Case
The Appeals Court of Kansas is being asked to allow access to the audit tapes for voting machines in Sedgwick County. The court heard oral argument in the case on Tuesday. The case was initially brought by Dr. Beth Clarkson, a statistician and engineer, who claims there are suspicious trends that strongly indicate ballot tampering of the electronic voting machines in the state. “There are statistical indications that are consistent with concerns about deliberate manipulation,” Clarkson said.

Missouri has gone ten years without two senators of the same party, and 133 years since it sent representatives from only one party to DC. Most importantly, over a third of Missourians consider themselves moderates. Fifteen percent of Missourians don’t even l
