In a nifty and well-sourced bit of investigative journalism that makes The BRAD BLOG’s muckracking heart go pitter-patter, an outfit known as Madcow Morning News (we wish they were called Washington Post) filed a peach of an exposé last Wednesday on Sarasota County’s Supervisor of Elections Kathy Dent, and Gary L. Greenhalgh, the ES&S voting machine company Vice-President with the questionable past, who appears to have serviced her.
The detailed reporting underscores our previous call for Dent to resign in light of her egregious failures in Florida’s 13th district U.S. House race, where the voters are still paying the price. Please do yourself a favor and read the report in full.
Here’s a few Dent money shots:
“I do think we’re going to see those numbers drop,” Dent told Commissioners. “We’re looking more for accuracy and the confidence that the voters have in the system.”
And this ironic plum from Greelhalgh — whom Madcow reports as regularly being in perilously close proximity to those convicted of bribery and other kickbacks to elections officials — from back in 1985:
“There is a massive potential for problems.”
Reported the Times: “Mr. Greenhalgh said that while lever-type voting machines could have their counts rigged only machine by machine, counting votes by computer was done at one central site in most counties.”

She looks like such a “nice” lady!
I saw this earlier, but I figured you wouldn’t link to it
Good one Old Turk, looks like we’re back, out of the “mainstream” again
Anyhow, I like the blurb at the end that hasn’t emerged yet
“TOMORROW:
SARASOTA SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS KATHY DENT:
BABE IN THE WOODS, OR EXTREMELY SMART COOKIE?”
Hopefully he has some good old dirt on her
Brad, heres another one that should be brought to the fore, its good to see Kathys body guard trying to run down the Citizens that have a couple of questions

Actually Brad, I posted the link to this article as a comment to your post about being able to vote three times on the ES&S machines in Williamson County, TX back on Nov. 15. I thought the story would be picked up and discussed more among BradBlog frequenters a little bit earlier than this. Hopsicker is now crowing about how a story he brought to people’s attention several years ago about an associate to Mohammed Atta — a German named Wolfgang Bohringer — is finally getting the attention of the MSM and being given some credibility as Bohringer was spotted in the Kiribas islands.
EWASTUD – Sorry I missed your comment on this orginally. Can’t always keep up with all the comments, unfortunately 🙁
As EWASTUD said there is a terror alert in the South Pacific. Atta’s buddy Wolfgang Bohringer and his Internet girlfriend pulled up in his yacht to a lone island in the middle of the Pacific with a bunch of guns and a footlocker full of bundles/bricks of US $100.00 bills. He wanted to start a fight/pilot training school. The islanders discovered his connections to 9/11 and sent him on his way.
The CMSM has picked this South Pacific sighting of Wolfgang Bohringer up, his German and Florida connections to Atta are finally being openly discussed, and the booze, broads, public boob grab, and heavy drug use parties this devout Muslim enjoyed just weeks prior to crashing into the WTC. There is so much to the Bushco 9/11 Report that makes no sense. This congress will hopefully delve into the matter with a no holds barred thorough and honest investigation where the players and parties of direct knowledge/involvement are placed under oath to get to the bottom of this matter. This 9/11 event was the catalyst which caused the dismantling of our democracy. The war on terror – sent our US Constitution and Bill of Rights directly into the Oval Office paper shredder. Was there justification or was it a grand preconceive ruse and ploy to transform our government into the hands of an illegal shadow government that operates behind a wall of the utmost secrecy, beyond oversight and/or public review.
We have a right to know, and plan/protect/prevent it’s recurrence.
It is good that Old Turk has the time and patience to write a capsule summary of the story about Bohringer. On the subject of 9/11 and the need for a real investigation of that horrendous crime, Sibel Edmonds just published an article on her whistleblower website that should interest people here about the influence of foreign agents on our government officials. See this article: “The Hijacking of a Nation.”
Also, I think it worth noting that freelance investigative reporter Wayne Madsen was prescient in reporting (about mid-October) that Rumsfeld would resign immediately after the election. Madsen’s sources were telling him that there is a tug of war between the James Baker / Poppy Bush clique who are seeking to extricate the US from Iraq by making nice with Syria and Iran, and the evil forces of Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the neo-cons who want to go full-speed ahead in a suicidal war with Iran and create havoc in the Middle East. There is reportedly a struggle between these factions now on who will be scapegoated for the Iraq war. That is supposedly why Rumsfeld resigned – to evade scapegoating.
EWASTUD,..
Good link to Sibel Edmonds.
The House of Saud and the Saudi Royal family disdains any form of scrutiny. There is a multi-billion dollar military equipment procurement contract by the Saudi Crown with British weapons vendors – with mega kickbacks to members of the Saudi royal family,.. details of which the House of Saud does not want to see the light of day. Look at the litigation and threats to discontinue diplomatic relations if this graft/corruption/kickbacks to the Saudi royal family are not totally hushed up.
The House of Saud upset about kickback probe may break diplomatic relations with Britain.
If the USA were to seriously investigate Saudi connections to 9/11, or release any details – bushco would immediately shut the inquiry down. The Bu$$$$$h crime family and their billionaire oil baron buddies would take a serious financial hit, if the blood on the hands of the Saudi royal family became known to America and the world. Must not upset the applecart/cash cow of the Bu$$h crime family’s source of obscene profiteering.
No wonder Bob Graham hasn’t been heard from in years!
Traitorous and treasonous just aren’t strong enough words to describe these “shiny, happy people”!
