UPDATE: Bev Harris’ promised update/clarification/retraction mentioned in the following story is now posted at her site here. The BRAD BLOG wishes to thank her for her thorough reply to our response to her original concerns, and we will investigate the additional items she mentions in her update over the weekend.

After appearing yesterday morning on the Alex Jones Radio Show I’d heard that he was planning to have Bev Harris of BlackBoxVoting.org on today’s show to discuss the Clint Curtis case and her ongoing investigations into alleged vote fraud in Florida and elsewhere.

On Tuesday, Harris had written a piece that was critical of Curtis’ case, suggesting that she felt it was likely disinformation. After reading her piece I posted a detailed response here and asked that folks make sure she saw it.

Her original piece seemed to be working from a misinformed perspective about the case that she seemed to have gotten after reading Wayne Madsen’s piece on Curtis. The publication of that article — as I mentioned in both my original story on Curtis and my response to Harris — was one of the released I posted my article earlier than I might have liked. To avoid such potential misreadings of the situation.

I contacted Jones to make sure he knew about my response to Harris before she came on the show, and he asked if I wanted to come on with her. I declined as I really had no interest in creating a public spat with Harris, I’d just wanted to get the correct information about the story to her so she’d better be able to assess it.

While Harris was on the show today, the producers called and again asked me to come on, and — after hearing that they’d cleared it with her, since I really didn’t wish for her to feel sandbagged — I agreed.

I did a quick 15 minutes or so (which, as with yesterdays show, I’m still trying to get permission to post here) in which Harris said that she had seen my reply, and thanked me for it. She said it had cleared up quite a few issues, and that she’d since been able confirm some elements of Curtis’ story herself independently.

To that end, she said she’d be posting a clarification/update or retraction on her site later today or tonight on the matter “even it means some egg on my face”, she said on the show. Such things are not always easy to do, so I greatly commend her for that in advance.

So I’m happy to report that all now seems well in that regard! Thanks to those of you who helped her get my response, and thanks to Harris for the many kind words she had to say about The BRAD BLOG’s work while on the show. (And thanks to Jones for allowing me the opportunity to speak with her on-air).

Hopefully that’s one more potential distraction that can now be set aside from the troubling claims of Clint Curtis’ actual allegations.
