The more I read this report/warning from July 2003 titled “Bigger Than Watergate!” – the more I feel like I did after 9/11. I’d heard all the warnings about bin Laden and Terrorism, etc., but I didn’t take it all very seriously until after it was already too late.
The mindset is true for what I’d been hearing from BlackBoxVoting.org and others for years about the concerns about Electronic Voting machines. I was interested, but never took their dire warnings with much more than a grain of salt.
I was wrong.
Looking again at the story from July 2003, you’ll find a chilling description of precisely what seems more and more to have happened in last Tuesday’s election. For example, look at this passage explaining how one might steal an election in modern day America:
Imagine for example if you could:
– secure control of the companies that make the voting machines and vote counting software;
– centralise vote counting systems, and politicise their supervision;
– legislate for the adoption of such systems throughout your domain, and provide large amounts of money for the purchase of these systems;
– establish systems of vote counting that effectively prevent anybody on the ground in the election at a booth or precinct level – from seeing what is happening at a micro-level;
– get all the major media to sign up to a single exit-polling system that you also control removing the risk of exit-polling showing up your shenanigans.
This is a precise description of what has happened in our country leading up to Tuesday’s vote as foretold more than a year ago!
The onlyl place where reality varies from the scenario above is in the last step, “removing the risk of exit-polling showing up your shenanigans”. It was, in fact, that apparent slip-up — the reporting of exit-polling, and the way that final results ended up varying wildly from normally very precise exit-polling, but only in swing states where they have E-Voting that doesn’t supply voter-verified paper trails — that gave us all our first clue that something was amiss here. In all other states, the exit-polls were exceedingly accurate. And where the “errors” described occured, the final results always ended up swing in Bush’s favor. Why wouldn’t at least some of those errors show declines in Bush’s support in some states?
Since the results of the Exit Polls tipped us off, we’ve been able to track down more and more evidence that begins to add up to an election stinking to high heaven. The BRAD BLOG will continue to stay on this story until the matter is appropriately resolved one way or the other.
Please check back frequently as this story unfolds, as it’s important that action is taken quickly on this matter. Please see BlackBoxVoting.org for more information on how you can help, and make everyone you know aware of these problems ASAP in the meantime! It’s important that this story begin to emerge to the American public as quickly as possible!
More soon…
You should contact Dan Spillane (he sued Diebold 2 years ago for retaliation when they fired him for refusing to sign-off on QA AFTER he’d pointed out 250 flaws/backdoors in their software.) I think he settled, so I’m not certain if he can discuss anything, but he should have pointers to tons of resources.

That really should read "he sued them against their retaliation . . ."
