We hinted<\/a> at this last week when Florida’s corrupt Rep. Tom Feeney (R-Abramoff<\/a>) expressed his obnoxious indignation over the democratic (small “d”) Congressional election challenge filed by Christine Jennings (D) against Vern Buchanan (R) in the FL-13 U.S. House race. This is the contest in which the perpetually election-challenged state of Florida certified Buchanan as the winner by 369 votes, even though some 18,000 votes seem to have disappeared altogether on Sarasota County’s paperless ES&S touch-screen voting machines.<\/p>\n

The challenge brought Feeney slithering out from under his rock to charge that Jennings’ Constitutional request that Congress not<\/i> seat Buchanan — who appears to have “won” only due to failures in Sarasota’s voting equipment (which even ES&S’s own “expert witness” admitted on the witness stand during a hearing on the election contests filed by both Jennings and voters in Florida) — amounted to “total political dictatorship.”<\/p>\n

At least that’s what Feeney told the Orlando Sentinel<\/i><\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n

What he doesn’t<\/em> seem to have told them is that he too is the object of a similar Constitutional challenge in Congress by his own opponent, Clint Curtis, in the race for U.S. House in Florida’s 24th district.<\/p>\n

Curtis, who originally exposed Feeney’s alleged attempt to create touch-screen vote-rigging software back in 2000 (a story broken by The BRAD BLOG in 2004<\/a> and followed in detail ever since), campaigned to unseat Feeney this year for the first time, but was declared the loser. Curtis disagrees.<\/p>\n

Warren Stewart at VoteTrustUSA covered<\/a> both the Curtis and Jennings challenges on the Thursday before XMas weekend, along with a posting of the complaints filed by both candidates (Curtis’ complaint here,<\/a> Jennings’s complaint here<\/a>, both in WORD format<\/i>) as filed in Congress. We’ve yet to review either complaint or discuss them with either candidate personally, so we’ll refer to Stewart’s coverage and the actual complaints for the moment and let you<\/em> people do some work for a change. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The Orlando Sentinel<\/i>, however, picked up on the story of Curtis’s challenge on Xmas Eve in a brief post<\/a> in their “This Just In” section. Here’s the full item…<\/p>\n

Curtis down, but he’s not out — right?<\/b><\/p>\n

Clint Curtis, who challenged Rep. Tom Feeney, R-Oviedo, in the general election, lost by nearly 28,000 votes. Or did he? Curtis, a Democrat whose campaign centered on questioning the integrity of the nation’s vote-counting system, has filed formal notice of an election challenge with the U.S. House of Representatives.<\/p>\n

Among the charges is that official voting results are “wrong, unreliable and not worthy of any election in this country.” Why? Mishandling of election laws, malfunctioning voting machines and — wait for it — the likelihood that affidavits furnished by Curtis from voters who say they voted for him will add up to more than the totals reflected in the official record.<\/p>\n

Whew! Stay tuned.<\/p><\/div>\n

Stay tuned, indeed…The saga continues…<\/p>\n
