Thanks to the dilligence and footwork of a few BRAD BLOG readers and foot-soldiers, we are now able to offer an Exclusive photographic look at the location of the mysterious “American Center for Voting Rights” (ACVR)! Or at least a look at the mysterious and unnamed Dallas, TX company who is said by ACVR press spokesman, Jim Dyke, to have developed their website.
After recently reporting that the newly-formed, tax-exempt, “non-partisan”, “voters rights” group, calling themselves the ACVR, is apparently little more than a GOP front group run by Dyke (the 2004 Communications Director for the Republican National Committee), Mark F. (Thor) Hearne, II (the National General Counsel for Bush/Cheney ’04 Inc.) and others, we sought to learn more about them.
In our exclusive BRAD BLOG interview yesterday with Dyke, the “contact” person for the group — which suddenly appeared on the Internet last Thursday and was then called to give expert testimony last Monday before a U.S. Congressional House committee on the November Election Irregularties in Ohio — we had asked Dyke about the location of the ACVR.
The hard-right Republican (responsible, among other things, for posting folks in “Flipper” dolphin costumes at John Kerry events in 2004) instructed us that, though he personally was in Charleston SC, the Dallas TX address on the Internic record for the new group — the one which shows they just purchased their website domain just last week — belonged to “the company that designed the website”.
Here’s the clip from yesterday’s interview where we asked about that Dallas TX address on the Internetic record for the AC4VR.com, the group’s Internet domain:
BRAD BLOG: I see. What company is that?
DYKE: I’d have to look into and get back to you.
BB: You don’t recall their name?
DYKE: I’ll have to check and get back to you on that.
We’ve yet to hear back from Dyke, but by way of a reminder, here again is the screenshot from the ACVR’s Internic registration which has, as of this posting, now been locked from public view:
As you’ll note, Dyke himself is listed on that record as both the group’s “Administrative” and “Technical” contact at the address of “jim@dykeassociates.com”.
Further, this morning a BRAD BLOG commenter noted that the Internic record for the domain name of DykeAssociates.com itself shows that the domain was established by Dyke in December of ’04. By this afternoon, however, the information from dykeassociates.com’s Internic record has also been made private as the one from AC4VR.com. Here is the information available before it was hidden by the owners from public view:

So if Dyke himself is in South Carolina, and his own company is established as being in Washington D.C., who or what is “the company that designed the website” whom Dyke couldn’t remember the name of, and who is described as working out of “8409 Pickwick Lane 299” in Dallas TX?
An intrepid BRAD BLOG reader took a field trip to that address this morning to find out for us and has now sent back Exclusive photographs!
Here now — for the first time on the Internets — is an Exclusive BRAD BLOG look at “8409 Pickwick Lane 299”, the address for the Dallas, TX company who designed the website for the ACVR or — perhaps even more likely — the headquarters for the American Center for Voting Rights itself!…
While there may be some small-minded folks working these days for GOP front groups, we suspect this choice for a home office would be entirely too cramped even for the tiniest of professional Republican disinformation operatives.
In the meantime, while the Rightwing Lilliputians may be hard at work disinforming the masses, we still have no idea where the funding for this group comes from. They claim to be a not-for-profit, “non-partisan”, tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization, but have neither produced the paperwork for it as required by law, nor do they seek donations from the public on their website.
Could there be monied interests in Dallas, TX who might have something to gain from by producing smoke and subterfuge via a well-connected, but phony, “Voting Rights” group setup and run by high-level GOP operatives in order to distract from the real Election Reform organizations gaining steam in America?
We’ll continue to label this story as…DEVELOPING…
UPDATE 3/26/05: The ACVR disinfo campaign is in full swing! Click here to help counter their disinformation NOW!
For more information on the “non-partisan” tax-exempt ACVR scam and the snakeoil salesmen who invented it, Bush/Cheney ’04 National General Counsel Mark F. “Thor” Hearne and RNC Communications Director Jim Dyke, please see BRAD BLOG’s full Special Coverage of the “American Center for Voting Rights” at https://BradBlog.com/ACVR.
All I can say is ROTFLMAO!!!

That location pretty much exemplifies the real location of Republican brains…being locked away in a drawer some place while trying to "play" impressive games.

Intrepid trekkers and interneters indeed!
I assume a report will be submitted to the appropriate authorities, eh?
Great job!
I’m reminded of MIB II, the whole civilization in a locker. Maybe there’s a back door to the Bahamas.
Damn, you should have opened #299.
No wonder they’re scared of the ex-BugMan.
By far, best laugh of the week. 299 that.
Guess they don’t get much mail from folks requiring non-partisan experts.
Someone should wait around and see if anyone comes to look in the box…perhaps an employee of the Republican party?
Here’s a link to a web company’s "About Us / Contact" page that is "located" at that same address. The description of their services seems about right.
And notice in the mail box photo how close box 286 is to box 299.
Ecordia, LP.
8409 Pickwick Lane, Box 286

One wonders if all those boxes are leased by Republican front organizations.
That was hysterical..especially the yellow arrow.
Great job, guys! When I saw that UPS store I LOL. It’s hysterical.

Boone Pickens, who contributed $2.5 million to the Swift Boat Veterans http://tinyurl.com/5py53, has his BP Capitol offices in that same retail and office complex on the corner of Preston Rd. and Northwest Hwy in Dallas where the "spacious" ACVR headquarters is located. Coincidence? Maybe?
Correction: BP Capital LLC. Picken’s is the CEO of the financial arm of British Petroleum. You know, the company who’s gas refinery in Texas blew up recently killing 15 people?
Well, that explains it. When I did a google search for
8409 Pickwick, I got pages of hits. Tried to make sense out of all these unrelated companies. (There may be some clues anyway, as some may be related). Finally figured it was one of these places where you can rent a fake office for a startup business. Turns out they’re even cheaper. Or just trying to hide?
😎
Still need the 501(c)(3) filing documentation and financial records… Must the IRS also disclose them as they are public records by law?
With any media coverage whatsoever, Ohio is in the toilet and the fraudmeisters spiraling along with it. We know it, they know it. Lets carry the evidence into the streets.
Everyone grab a handful of documentation and take it with you when you leave your home today, tomorrow and until the end. We’ve got to do this ourselves.
Boone fuckin Pickens, man. That is weird. I was wondering about that explosion.
I applaud Brad Blog and its intrepid supporters.
I agree with the suggestion that we should all promote wider coverage of this story in the mainstream press and national media outlets including Air America, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, etc.
But Mr. Dykes letter talking up 10,000 Democratic lawyers —that is what we should be doing indeed. We should be fielding lawyers against every definable category of fraud, "truth in labelling", consumer protection, FEC, FCC,FOIA –you name it. A wide-scope, pull-out all the stops legal counter-attack to this kind of thing needs to be co-ordinated and initiated. I am no lawyer. I simply observe that the damndest cases find legal standing and the discovery process does put "proof" on the public record. If folks like Dyke are going to retreat to "police reports" as the only source of election disorder, then electrion reformers need to give them something they recognize and can be anxious about.

Cheryl #32 –
Sometimes I feel overwhelmed at how far this neocon chicanery is going, and it depresses me.
Not enough people realize there’s a war going on. The Roves/Blackwells/Feeneys/Wolfowitzs/etc., are getting away with grand theft and murder, and most people think, if it was true, it would be on television. But…control the media, control the people.
The "American Center For Voting Rights" is a phony as a three-dollar bill, but the MSM will NEVER report that it is a noecon damage-control group, no different, in essense (and what an essense – phew!), to "Jeff Gannon". They’re a plant/shill, to counter the truth coming out.
And one wonders how all those televangelists make millions – people are sitting and waiting to be screwed, that’s how.
The neocons have got people supporting them that, in reality, should be tarring-and-feathering them, and running them out of town! It’s medicine-show-barker-ing, taken to the Nth degree!
Sickening…
Brad, you and your readers just may save the media after all–soon they will begin to be ashamed at their slovenly coverage of news. Carry on…as an old but not yet feeble woman, I applaud your energy and creativity.
In the "save-the media" vein: Democracy Now launches its "Unembed the Media" blitz/tour this Monday, with appearances all over the country. Phil Donahue has joined the crusade. For more info, go here.

Jim Dyke:
" After filing more than 40 lawsuits in 18 battleground states in recent weeks, and in keeping with their Election Day playbook, Democrats are prepared to execute an Election Day litigation strategy. As soon as the polls open in the morning, their touted 10,000-plus lawyers will systematically file litigation to change the rules in battleground states across the nation and create a sense of chaos.
Before the day is out, Democrats will begin to argue that every provisional ballot should be counted, regardless of the circumstances or legality in which it was cast, thus allowing them to convert third party registration fraud into voter fraud on behalf of John Kerry.
The Democrats’ Election Day litigation strategy has three primary objectives:
Securing special rules and extensions for the benefit of Democrats in predominately Democrat precincts.
Eliminating traditional safeguards against voter fraud, including I.D. requirements and voting in precinct.
Creating a sense of chaos, with the hope of casting a shadow of doubt over Election Day.
Tomorrow, we expect to see Democrat lawyers follow the Kerry-Edwards’ playbook and pursue the following plan to pre-emptively move the election from polling places to courthouses:

Elizabeth #35,
If there is any shame felt in the MSM, it doesn’t stop them and will not stop them from their present trajectory.
The MSM is something to be ignored and left behind as we more forward and move on. We need to replace the MSM. The MSM is not something that can be salvaged, in my opinion. The bottom line is people need to be informed. Whether that’s through a TV set or a blog, doesn’t matter. No matter how good Brad’s investigative reporting is, it will never shame the MSM into doing their job. At this point I only turn on the cable news to see how retarded the coverage is and reconfirm my opinion for the 1000th time. Although Lou Dobbs, Keith Olbermann, Aaron Brown, and the ex fear factor guy are sometimes acceptable.
Oh yeah, Non-Partisan my ass.
My ass is non-partisan and the rest of me used to be anti-partisan, but after these rat bastards took over, I had to become partisan temporarily.
Thanks, Brad for theis great "scoop!" MSM where are you???
This is just another example of those "virtual" organizations! I wonder if Jeffy Guckert/Gannon has a similar thing going on.
The BP oil refinery, verry similar to the ENRON energy maniulation we had that incited our "recall"; just before spring/summer, the highest travel and energy consumption season, a western distributorship, this case providing gasoline for the ARCO AM/PM mini-marts throughout California and the west and the cheepest gas outlets here in California. And California, the biggest gasoline consumer with the highest prices in the nation. Glad I ride my bicycle!! :angry:
Go BRAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank God for Bloggers.
Nice Job! please, keep going after them! They will disolve when the lights are upon them.
Read James Wolcott’s "eulogy" for CNN.
Bejammino #39…
Absolutely correct.
Forget the MSM, everybody. It’s such a waste of life force. We can put all that energy into something productive. This political Mafia is about to come down. That’s where we need to be focused.
And thank God for the MSM. Their demise has led to this. The most wonderful political forum and information gathering and disseminating place of our time.
Brad –
I’ve returned to this thread via Raw Story, where their headline erroneously says the P.O. box is in Washington. You may want to correct this.
This is just enough office space for ALL of the Republicans that are truly interested in election reform…
When something like this is exposed, I think it’s a good idea to send an email to hannity, oreilly, and scarborough taunting them to put them on and treat them seriously… and let’s see what happens.
Because of the bradbloggers they’ve been exposed early-on, and letting the douchebags of liberty know this will affect their ability to get airtime. A good result.
Peg C – Thanks. I’ve let them know, and they fixed it quickly.
While the Internic registration entry is locked, this information is available elsewhere.
The domain name is registered with Network Solutions. (I found this out from whois.net, who happen to provide a link to the Network Solutions domain information lookup – http://www.networksolutions.com...is/index.jhtml).
A whois lookup at the Network Solutions registrar for the registrant ac4vr.com gives some useful information. For now. (I expect this information will be made private in due time.) The entry is as follows:
But this remains a great story and raises some valid questions. Why was this organization called to testify? They were apparently created solely for this purpose, and only a very short time before the Congressional hearings. In fact, they are so new that their office is a UPS P.O. box. And the founders of this organization are clearly not non-partisan, with obvious interest in presenting the Ohio election process as valid and legitimate.
I think this shows the lengths that Republicans will go to present the appearance of legitimacy (without actually being legitimate). Keep up the great work.
Cheryl, Hoppy Easter to you, too. This is for you:

Where is Michael Moore when we need him. Thought he was going to Fla. with cameras. I’m betting he didn’t take hush money but is being threatened. This would be a great documentary…BRAD ..You do it. LINK would pick it up. You are the 21st century patriot.
Isn’t it interesting how everything comes back to Dallas?
Teddy Kennedy was being very honest, more honest than the GOP and the Bush family wanted to hear, when he said that the war in Iraq was a plot hatched in Texas.
The rise of the Bush crime family accelerated after the first plot hatched and executed in Dallas in November 1963.
I wish I had millions $$ to support this investigation and to help fight the many problems we face with this corrupt administration. Obviously the GOP has been able to buy/leverage our freedom, our press, and our future. Thank God for people like Brad and associates who have been willing to sacrifice their time and $ for truth and a solid foundation for our children and their children. I will work harder every day and even buy a few lottery tickets in hopes of donating very needed "windfall" to help you beat these evil people. I will also have BRAD BLOG/Velvet Revolution flyers printed and dispersed in hopes of the curious-minded logging on to see what this site is about. Just to turn on a light for some people might help this to snow ball. As for our rich democrats, I would hope you could see this cause worthy of a large donation. Years from now we will all look back and know the great people who changed the downward spiral our country was in during the Bush years. The power is in numbers and in determination…Bush and Rove are not smarter than the rest of us, so we must make this the tipping point. And John Conyers should run for president in 2008.
Thank you for all you are doing! and for giving me the best laugh this week. Rove has to be going 24/7 to keep up with all the shit that is happening –
i just want to say that Ecordia is not AC4VR’s hosting company. They don’t own the subnet that the site is on.
finding you guys has greatly improved my online.GREAT JOB!!!big thanks to BUZZFLASH.they do excellent work as well.its good to know im not the only one who has a comprehension of the magnatude of the shit we are in at the hands of these neoconvicts.that is what i call them…until it is so.i firmly believe the tipping point is closer than we guess…it is to be hoped that it comes about without violence.i want to see justice done to the hundred or so hyperfaschists who have hijjaced this country and brought death,chaos,poverty and misery to countless people here and abroad.the supreme court,stocked by repugs and complicit in the unlawful power grab in 2000 is,shall i say, recused for conflict of interest.Congress,too busy playing tug-of-feeding tube to notice huge demonstrations against these policies of mass destruction.What can be done?can we bring our entire government before the world court?they would push the button before facing war crimes.we are so screwed.
Hey, you’re smart, Brad…keep it up! It’s such a switch, from watching the stooges on TV…you come up with some real interesting stuff!!! You know, like a real journalist!
It’s funny. The right wing radio nuts tell us that the MSM is liberally biased. Okay. Then, the left wing guys (myself included) say the MSM is right wing biased (because it is). So, why doesn’t the MSM just tell their advertisers to stuff it if they don’t like honest reporting. I think the TV station owners and Network execs have forgotten that GM and GTE, etc. NEED television just as much as television needs them.
What we need is a JOURNALISM union, one in which every journalist signs an oath, like a doctor, stating that he or she will seek and report the truth, regardless of politics.
The commentators should be labeled as such. They are not journalists.
And, finally, what are they teaching at the colleges of journalism?
And if the right wing nut jobs still claim MSM is liberally biased, where do they want everyone to get their news?
"I see in the future a crisis aproaching that causes me to tremble for the safety of my country…As a result of war,corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow.The money power will endeaver to prolong its reign by working on th prejudices of the people until all the wealth is agrgregated into the hands of the few and the rupublic is destroyed. -Abraham Lincon
Oh, God.

Good Job reporting this story!
I have this spam collecting address megaghsodt@yahoo.ca which I used to register as a GOPteamleader.com. They send me incredible amounts of junk mail about ‘helping the president’ etc. (You should sign up, too, you can ‘earn’ free GOP prizes just for ratting out ‘liberal’ news media)
So anyway they sent me this email about democrat voter intimidation which I decided to read. I thought it would be amusing/Orwellian to see how they described the plight of the poor oppressed republican minority of voters.
It linked to the ACVR which was kind of their ‘credible source’ link. It looked fairly honest to me but then I found there was ZERO mention of republicans and only complaints about democrats, including some fairly opinion based news items. I looked at the ‘About Us’ and it said they were non partisan but they used this bizarre quote about a republican form of government. I thought it was strange to have a genuine non profit that was so anti-democrat and also without much evidense of grass roots on their website, no pictures of the hard working volunteers etc. So I weas quite suspisicious. Then I did a google search and turned up your news blog as #1 and the story began to finally make sense.
I guess the republicans are really feeling the heat about the voting irregularities in Ohio in the Republican managed election. So they are launching this counter spin to prevent the truth getting to mainstream. Again.
I reccomend everyone sign up as GOP team leaders so that you can get the inside scoop from the belly of the beast. Also you can do as the Sabot or General Ludd.
And remember, there has never been a need for putting accurate personal information on the internet to get an account. You do need a genuine USA address and zip code – I used the Wal-Mart store locator.
Fight the good Fight. This is a war of information, a war against sharing knowledge.

Good Job reporting this story!
I have this spam collecting address megaghsodt@yahoo.ca which I used to register as a GOPteamleader.com. They send me incredible amounts of junk mail about ‘helping the president’ etc. (You should sign up, too, you can ‘earn’ free GOP prizes just for ratting out ‘liberal’ news media)
So anyway they sent me this email about democrat voter intimidation which I decided to read. I thought it would be amusing/Orwellian to see how they described the plight of the poor oppressed republican minority of voters.
It linked to the ACVR which was kind of their ‘credible source’ link. It looked fairly honest to me but then I found there was ZERO mention of republicans and only complaints about democrats, including some fairly opinion based news items. I looked at the ‘About Us’ and it said they were non partisan but they used this bizarre quote about a republican form of government. I thought it was strange to have a genuine non profit that was so anti-democrat and also without much evidense of grass roots on their website, no pictures of the hard working volunteers etc. So I weas quite suspisicious. Then I did a google search and turned up your news blog as #1 and the story began to finally make sense.
I guess the republicans are really feeling the heat about the voting irregularities in Ohio in the Republican managed election. So they are launching this counter spin to prevent the truth getting to mainstream. Again.
I reccomend everyone sign up as GOP team leaders so that you can get the inside scoop from the belly of the beast. Also you can do as the Sabot or General Ludd.
And remember, there has never been a need for putting accurate personal information on the internet to get an account. You do need a genuine USA address and zip code – I used the Wal-Mart store locator.

Brad, you might be interested to know, Boone Pickens, that paragon of virtue, just gave Oklahoma Heritage Foundation a donation of 3 million dollars. If it is connected to the Heritage foundation think tank that gave us the Iraq War, what can we in Okla. look forward to?
I just discovered your site and I am HOOKED. I am now here to support all your efforts! I am linking to you from many forums. I contacted Bev Harris but chances are that she knows you. THANK you so much for doing was FOX,CNN, and all the rest of the corporate media won’t do.
It is our job to contact all the news mesdia and ask WHY they haven’t covered this.
That is kindof cool!
That is kindof cool!

And yet I notice that you don’t address any of their claims. It certainly is true that in Wisconsin Democratic Party operatives slashed tires of Republican campaign workers. It’s also true that Democratic Party leaders in East St. Louis were recently convicted of paying for votes. It’s also true that some Democratic operatives were arrested for calling people thought to be likely Republican voters up and telling them the wrong day to vote and the wrong polling location. You would do better to find evidence of Republican wrong-doing rather than simply dismissing things out of hand simply because it does come from a Republican group. (Even one that wrongly claims to be "nonpartisan," an old trick for think tanks affiliated with either party.)
Groups affiliated with both parties were accused of doing voter registration drives and then throwing away the registrations of people who registered for the "wrong" party.
Prove Your Sources Mr. Thacker!
Prove your sources? What kind of lame response is that? I have personally looked into these allegations and they are well documented in newspapers and court records. What kind of proof do you want? The proof is there. Especially when several parties have pleaded GUILTY as charged. But I don’t suppose that is enough for you. It never is. I am quite sure that intimidation happened on both sides. However, just because you don’t agree with the source of information, it DOES NOT mean that it did not happen.
