New Video Suggests Voting Firm Triad Sought to Thwart Recount of Paper Ballots - By John Byrne - "'Triad pretty much admits that the purpose of the cheat sheet is to foreclose the possibility of the county finding a discrepency between the hand count and the machine recount.'"
Proof of Ohio Election Fraud Exposed - By William Rivers Pitt - From the affidavit this article is largely built around - "He advised Lisa and I on how to post a "cheat sheet" on the wall so that only the board members and staff would know about it and and what the codes meant so the count would come out perfect and we wouldn't have to do a full hand recount of the county. He left about 5:00 PM." - 'He' was a computer technician from Triad, the company supplying the majority of vote tabulating machines in Ohio. Also a republican party contributer.
Ohio records under illegal "lockdown" - "On Friday December 10 two certified volunteers for the Ohio Recount team assigned to Greene County were in process recording voting information from minority precincts in Greene County, and were stopped mid-count by a surprise order from Secretary of State Blackwell’s office." - According to Ohio law this illegal action qualifies as "prima facie" evidence of vote fraud. Additionally, I have good word that this story will be covered by the Boston Globe early next week. Stay Tuned.
Election Fraud or Just Suspicions? - a powerful opinion piece from the San Francisco chronicle - "If this were an election taking place in a Third World dictatorship, or a former part of the Soviet Union (Georgia and Ukraine, for recent examples) people would be in the streets screaming "fraud" and demanding the president's resignation."
Interview with Clinton Curtis from Air America.
Clinton Curtis has come forward with a signed affidavit (pdf file) stating the details of how he was asked by Republican Congressman Tom Feeney to write a prototype of vote-switching software. Curtis was under the impression at the time that it would be used to detect and prevent Democratic vote fraud... This article is from The Raw Story though it was originally broke by the Brad Blog.
Read the latest installment by investigative reporter Wyane Madsen, who now has a signed affidavit by a programmer named Clint Curtis who was solicited to write a "vote-switching program" back in 1999: - Texas to Florida: White House-linked clandestine operation paid for "vote switching" software
From the World Famous "BRAD BLOG" comes good news in the form of Public Hearings and a Public Letter to Kenneth Blackwell, the beleagured Secretary of State of Ohio who now has some explaining to do - " CONFIRMED!: House Judiciary Committee Dems Announce Public Hearings on Voting Irregularities! ... ALSO: Detailed Excerpts from the Blackwell Letter!"
For those with a good connection, I recommend watching this segment from C-Span of an interview with Clif Arnebeck, Counsel in a lawsuit challenging the presidential election in Ohio. He reports that they have evidence of Kerry votes "migrating" to the Bush column on election night, and that once all these irregularities are accounted for it will show that Kerry won Ohio by the same margin that Bush currently claims. Also, for those with a lesser connection, a transcript of a radio interview from yesterday can be found here.
Wayne Madsen, reporter for www.onlinejournal.com , claims to have informed sources who know how the election was rigged. His story includes retired FBI agents, unnamed "technicians" who didn't recieve their paycheck and decided to talk, a HQ in Dallas, Texas, a well-documented 29 million dollar check that was used to finance the whole thing, and a money trail leading to off-shore bank acconts, Saudi Arabia, and ultimately the Bush-Cheney Campaign. Take it for what you will, but this reporter (who has done good investigative work in the past) is certainly risking a lot, professionally and personally, to break this story.

More on the buying of electoral fraud by the Bush campaign- by Wayne Madsen
This in Wyoming is unbelievable - in 2000 101% of the electorate turned out and in 2004 106% of the electorate turned out. During the primaries a mere 60% came out. Al I can say is, huh? How has this not been looked into? Could a typo last 4 years? Don't think so.
So, Exit Polls indicate fraud in other countries but not the U.S.?
Chuck Herrin , a Republican and Computer Hacker, talks about the weaknesses behind electronic voting systems and the criminal history of the companies that make them.
UC Berkley has a study showing that there are at least 130,000 extra votes for Bush in Florida due to electronic voting.

"When I spoke with Jeff Fisher this morning (Saturday, November 06, 2004), the Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Florida's 16th District said he was waiting for the FBI to show up. Fisher has evidence, he says, not only that the Florida election was hacked, but of who hacked it and how. And not just this year, he said, but that these same people had previously hacked the Democratic primary race in 2002 so that Jeb Bush would not have to run against Janet Reno, who presented a real threat to Jeb, but instead against Bill McBride, who Jeb beat.
  "It was practice for a national effort," Fisher told me.
  And some believe evidence is accumulating that the national effort happened on November 2, 2004."
This is a quote from Blackboxvoting.org:
" Black Box Voting has taken the position that fraud took place in the 2004 election through electronic voting machines. We base this on hard evidence, documents obtained in public records requests, inside information, and other data indicative of manipulation of electronic voting systems. What we do not know is the specific scope of the fraud. We are working now to compile the proof, based not on soft evidence -- red flags, exit polls -- but core documents obtained by Black Box Voting in the most massive Freedom of Information action in history."
From Votergate : "Our video files have been attacked and taken out. Who doesn't want you to see this film? We are working around the clock to get the video files back online right away. Please check back soon."
Watch the above film with this link for disturbing background information as to how vulnerable the voting machines are, who owns them, and past elections PROVEN to be rigged.
