Tomorrow (Monday) The BRAD BLOG<\/a> will feature yet another Voting Machine Industry insider who is stepping forward with yet more troubling information and documented accusations about the way his company — and at least one county in Texas, where there were notable problems in last Tuesday’s primary — have been running elections. Damning complaints about Fraud, Mismanagement, and possible Criminal Behavior were made about many of the alleged problems as long ago as July 2004. We’ll have the documentation. The complaints were all but ignored, surprisingly enough (irony inserted there<\/i>), by both public and company officials. We’ll have a full feature on those complaints and warnings on Monday…We believe you’ll not want to miss it!<\/p>\n

It’s been an incredibly busy time here at The BRAD BLOG<\/a>, in case you haven’t noticed. Just scroll down last week’s list of stories to get an idea of what’s been going on — at a furious pace. And there is much more on the way. For an audio<\/i> review of some of last week’s best stories, you may wish to listen to my weekly appearance last Friday with the good Peter B. Collins of KRXA 540am<\/a> wherein we discussed as many of last week’s stories as we could fit into one 40 minute appearance [MP3]<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A few other quick Sunday items of note…<\/i><\/p>\n

VoteTrustUSA<\/a> has begun a campaign in support of Ion Sancho…<\/b> Sancho, as readers here know, is the Election Supervisor in Leon County who exposed the security flaw in Diebold’s optical-scan voting equipment which allows a hacker to completely flip the results of an election without a trace being left behind. Sancho is under attack for this good deed by the State of Florida themselves and yet he’s fighting back<\/a> as best as he can. Click here to send email support for Sancho’s efforts!<\/a><\/p>\n

Stephen Heller, the whistleblower who revealed Diebold’s plan…<\/b> to break the law in California has set up a legal defense fund since being charged with three felony counts. We wrote about Heller<\/a> previously and the excellent Tribune Media Services<\/i> columnist, Bob Koehler, covered his story this week as well in a great column<\/a>. Here are some comments from Heller’s wife<\/a>. He is in need of funds to fight against the bad guys. So, donations can now be made via the Stephen Heller Defense Fund website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lastly, for now…<\/b> and not important at all, but kind of fun. Please Vote for BRAD BLOG<\/a> in any or all of the 6 categories for which we’ve been nominated in the Koufax 2005 Weblog Awards! If you’re so inclined. We’d much appreciate it! And thanks, as ever, for all the great support!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
