Lady Midnight

The internal logs of at least 40 Sequoia touch-screen voting machines reveal that votes were time and date-stamped as cast two weeks before the election, sometimes in the middle of the night.

Black Box Voting successfully sued former Palm Beach County (FL) Supervisor of Elections Theresa LePore to get the audit records for the 2004 presidential election.

After investing over $7,000 and waiting nine months for the records, Black Box Voting discovered that the voting machine logs contained approximately 100,000 errors. According to voting machine assignment logs, Palm Beach County used 4,313 machines in the Nov. 2004 election. During election day, 1,475 voting system calibrations were performed while the polls were open, providing documentation to substantiate reports from citizens indicating the wrong candidate was selected when they tried to vote.

Another disturbing find was several dozen voting machines with votes for the Nov. 2, 2004 election cast on dates like Oct. 16, 15, 19, 13, 25, 28 2004 and one tape dated in 2010. These machines did not contain any votes date-stamped on Nov. 2, 2004.

U&I Magazine is created by Taku, a creative designer based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. With a passion for design and photography, it was inevitable for Taku to combine the two to pursue what he likes doing best. While Smaku is his online alias, media Smaku is the company name that he designs under.
Hidden talent is found everywhere around the world. The hard part is getting it noticed. I have already been enlightened from several people’s photography, their stories, and techniques that I am hoping others around the world will be too with this magazine.
With U&I Magazine, the content is created by people like you and I, and the magazine is designed by me. U&I accepts editorial and photo submissions from photographers from around the world – although only English articles are accepted at the moment.
Each issue of the magazine will have a general seasonal theme to the publication, with a potential for more specific article and photo themes. A portion of the magazine will also be dedicated to flickrVision.
Visit the U&I Magazine official website at http://www.uandimag.com for all the latest details.

The second issue of U&I Magazine: Winter 2006 is now available for sale online at www.lulu.com/uandimag! The inaugural issue is always available there as well.

One word, one heart, one night, is all I want,
One word, one heart, one girl, is waiting there for me;

Midnight, and all is well,
I hear the mission bell,
Out on the road, nothing is moving,
As I speed from town to town;

Two hearts are beating fast,
But they are still many miles apart,
Oh the mood was shining on a distant shore,
Burning like a fire in my heart,
I’ve got to see her, I’ve got to say -

One word, one heart, one night, is all I want,
One word, one heart, one girl, is waiting there for me,
I never knew I cared so much before,
I’ve got to tell her tonight – straight to the heart,
I’m going to tell her tonight – straight to the heart,
I’ve got to tell her tonight – straight to the heart,
Like a cannonball…

Headlights are blazing through,
Turn on the radio, I hear the news,
Hand on the wheel, foot on the floor,
And on, and on, and on we go,
This car is like a friend,
Bring her the message that I want to send,
Oh the dawn was breaking and I saw the sun,
Burning like a fire on the bay,
I’m nearly there now, I’m gonna say -

One word, one heart, one night, is all I want,
One word, one heart, one girl, is waiting there for me,
I never knew I cared so much before,
I’ve got to tell her tonight – straight to the heart,
I’ve got to tell her tonight – straight to the heart,
I’ve got to tell her tonight – straight to the heart,
Like a cannonball…
