These are notes I made at the time about a forgotten incident.

Forgotten in the hectic closing days of the Florida fiasco is the matter of the stolen Votomatic.

It was found after the election by Palm Beach police in the car trunk of one Mr. Slosberg a Democrat politician who was not a member of any canvassing board.

Treating it as a possible theft the police dropped the case
when the Democratic leader of the Palm Beach Canvassing Board, Ms. LaPorte, decided not to press charges.

It is, obviously, entirely incorrect for this to be treated as only an attempted theft. This Votomatic could have been used to fabricate votes for Al Gore. It could have also been used to create 'overvotes' thus spoiling
any ballots that voters made for Bush. (Gang-punching votes for Gore on voters' ballots would
spoil those which were originally voted for Bush.)

It could have been used to fabricate votes in Palm Beach or in other nearby Florida counties such as Broward or Miami-Dade. It could have been used after the election or before
the election.

If the RP had any sense they'd mention this any time the Dems claimed we "stole" the election. A Dem let another Dem go scot free and the Dem press ignored it. (Originally reported in Palm Beach Post but no longer accessible at their site.)
