<\/a>Congratulations to California Sec. of State Bruce McPherson!<\/p>\n

Not only did you succeed in running the first federal election — with illegal\/decertified voting machines — since massive vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Diebold systems you okayed for use (against state laws), but you’ve also now received an 18% pay raise in the bargain!<\/p>\n

According to yesterday’s Sacramento Bee<\/a>, your pay will increase by $23,265 to a full $154,875 just after you run your next illegal election in November!<\/p>\n

Nice work if you can get it! Not that he’s not worth it, of course. Here’s a video to give you an idea what $154,875 buys for California these days. (The following video and details explaining it were originally posted at BRAD BLOG here<\/a> back in February, when McPherson was acting as if he didn’t know for sure if he’d re-certify Diebold in the state. Nice acting, Bruce! It was dang-near believable!)<\/p>\n

(Hat tip Bruce Sims, who pays closer attention to California’s elections — by far — than Bruce McPherson has <\/i>ever done. And Sims does it on his own damn dime. For free! And also, unlike McPherson, doesn’t have Diebold employees actually doing his work<\/a> <\/i>for him!)<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
