2. Explosive, indeed. I have been too hopeful/optimistic, I suppose, and not about Diebold per se, but
I wanted to have faith in the technology.

It comes down to this one statement this person makes: there are more eyes looking at how a twenty dollar bill is processed, than how your vote is accounted for.

"Hanging shads," he says, "were merely a distraction, from how the election was stolen electronically" (paraphrased).

3. Thank you!
He just called it- he says Bush lost and Saxby Chambliss lost here in Georgia-- "they flipped the votes." We knew that, but he knows HOW and WHY. He says he wanted Bush to win, but he wants his candidate to win, "but if my candidate loses, I care a lot more about the process than I care about the victory."

And that makes him

a) a good American
b) a constitutionalist/true patriot
c) not a Freeper by virtue of having independent thought and inviolable integrity


(notice how I am stealing their words back....hee hee...I'm enjoying immensely asking loser freepers why they hate america and want to see our freedoms gone)

11. I watched all.Republicans have stolen elections without a doubt.He even tells us who
It is always republican who steal an election and never dems. Diebold lies, and covers it up by denying access. The "patch" to fix the clock in GA was not a clock fix. the election was stolen.
In '06 only those with enough money and rotten enough to do it stole elections. Bush stole both elections.

McCain is planning to steal this one. Only paper ballots can prevent this. Those areas using touchscreen diebold voting machines will be used to steal the election. This presidential election should be a landslide victory for Obama so be prepared to demand a re-vote with paper ballots. Florida used machines to flip votes and the paper ballots as fodder for the recount which the repubs went to great lengths to stop. Why if they weren't cheating.

It's as clear as it can be made by this Spoonamoore interview that elections have and will be stolen if we don't get rid of Diebold and return to paper ballots. There is no doubt. Republicans are setting us up by insisting on using these machines.

12. Old news. People don't care about their vote apparently.
This has been said time and time again. Yet, people continue to send money to their reps for reelection when they could toss it out their car window and it would have the same effect.
But Ill kick and rec in hopes people will stand up and be counted.

13. I googled Steven Spoonamore
http://cybrinth-africa.com/Stephen_Spoonamore.html

Chief Executive Officer



Mr. Spoonamore is considered a leading theorist and innovator of systems involved with compression, digital image management and remote electronic monitoring. He has developed solutions for government agencies and elements of the US Armed Forces who have been aware of the threat risks in cyber security since the early 1990s.

Mr. Spoonamore also serves as a member of the NEEEC/ANSI task force to determine standards and needs for E-Authentication of Identity, and the ComCARE Alliance task force to examine the security and development needs of the EPAD All-Hazards National Alert System.

As an Entrepreneur he has founded, or co-founded, eleven previous companies in sectors. The best known of these firms Creative Production Resources Group (sold in 2002) developed television studios, corporate control rooms and technology centers for numerous clients including GE, GM, ABC/Disney, Viacom, Bloomberg, Lehman Brothers and the US Army. Under his leadership, the firm was awarded two technical Emmy Awards (for the Nagano Olympics Studios and Oprah Winfrey Studios). He has served on several public sector investigation boards examining disaster after-actions.

He has received several awards for his contribution to the public sector including: 1995 he was awarded a Civilian Citation for outstanding contributions to the Defense Department by Secretary of Defense, William Cohen. In 2003 he was recognized by Mayor Michael Bloomberg for his work helping expand the NYCTV system. 2004 he was thanked by Sec. of Homeland Security Tom Ridge for his work developing process for the www.ready.gov web site. He has also served on delegations and task forces for the UN, UNDP and USArmy, including in 2001 when he was honored to serve as the small business delegate on a US Trade Mission to Central Europe. During this tour he led presentations on small business strategy in Warsaw, Prague and Munich. Finally he has been called on as an expert witness for congressional testimony both on the House and Senate sides in the areas of secure communications and emergency systems used in communications. He is well respected for his ability to translate complex technical issues into terms and ideas understandable to both Laymen and Politicians.

14. What we need is paper trail
I never trusted the voting machines, specially if the company manufactuting them is Diebold or ES&S.

15. What will Americans do when the polls say Obama win but McCain wins it
I think history has shown another election can be fixed, and the only ones questioning it are written off as kooks. The polls said Gore will win, the polls said Kerry will win. The history of some of these exit polls were that they were never wrong until Bush ran for office. Will Americans just write it off, if the polls say Obama will win but McCain does? My guess is they will, with the help of a mainstream media who have shown no interest in investigating electronic voting machines. I may be cynical, but I believe the only way Obama wins, is if his poll lead is so vast that the hackers are afraid to fix the election enough to do the job, fearing the public might wake up.

here's the link to sign the petition to bring back the paper ballots, which he says are the ONLY way to have accountability.

Can we get this around any where else? If we don't have this, we have nothing but a sham o a democracy...which he said. He called america fascist, fooling us into thinking we had the vote.
