Fraction Magic – Part 1: Votes are being counted as fractions instead of as whole numbers
By Bev Harris, May 12, 2016

This report summarizes the results of our review of the GEMS election management system, which counts approximately 25 percent of all votes in the United States. The results of this study demonstrate that a fractional vote feature is embedded in each GEMS application which can be used to invisibly, yet radically, alter election outcomes by pre-setting desired vote percentages to redistribute votes. This tampering is not visible to election observers, even if they are standing in the room and watching the computer. Use of the decimalized vote feature is unlikely to be detected by auditing or canvass procedures, and can be applied across large jurisdictions in less than 60 seconds.

gems-usaGEMS vote-counting systems are and have been operated under five trade names:

- Global Election Systems
- Diebold Election Systems
- Premier Election Systems
- Dominion Voting Systems
- Election Systems & Software

(in addition to a number of private regional subcontractors)

At the time of this writing, this system is used in [many states]. It is also used in Canada. SEE CAP
