1. Just found this new article

The Techno-Voting Nightmare; Digital Vote Corruption-- First California-- then the 2004 Elections.
by Rob Kall, OpEdNews.COM
Imagine that a rogue programmer gets access to a few networks of computers in the California special gubernatorial election. The programmer manipulates the software to count wrong, making sure that Darrell Issa or whoever is running on the Republican ticket gets 10% more votes than the voters really gave him. This software "fix" will do it's work then delete itself. The program can be made to randomize the bogus numbers so they are a little different percentage at each voting location.

Edit: I love it...and thanks Bev...your name will go down in history as having saved Democracy. "You will be a bust, be a bust, be a bust in the hall of fame"!

9. Really, a nice spot in the Smithsonian, to be sure

A big ol' exhibit with all of the Diebold garbage, where future citizens can marvel at the stupidity, incompetence and devious duplicity. Where they can contemplate the frightening implications of these con artists and criminals going unchecked.

Can you imagine?

Bev Harris High; Bev Harris Library; Bev Harris Museum (thankfully not a place to look at a democracy that used to be)

Much more work to be done, but things are looking so much better today.........

10. Heh... Bev is doing great work...

... but aren't we getting a bit carried away here?

I mean, even Bev is the first to point out that a whole lot of people other than herself deserve thanks and gratitude for uncovering this mess.

Bev isn't doing this for personal glory.

5. I have another article here...Kudos BevHarris!

"Computer ballot outfit perverts Senate race, theorist says"

"Imagine the perversion of democracy that could occur if an officer of a company that makes computerized vote tabulators and touch-screen balloting gear were to run for the Senate in a state where his machinery is used. Surely, the potential for a sneaky, electronic form of ballot stuffing would be considerable.

Let's consider US Senator Charles Hagel (Republican, Nebraska), who once served as Chairman of McCarthy Group Inc., a company which owns, you guessed it, Election Systems & Software (ES&S), an outfit that makes roughly half the voting machines in the United States, including those used in Nebraska where the company is conveniently headquartered.

Enter one Bev Harris, Bev is the co-owner of Talion, a do-it-yourself public relations company for low-budget go-getters. Bev is "a CEO with 20 years experience in corporate marketing, publishing and management," her bio explains.

She is convinced that Hagel stole the Nebraska Senate election through some manner of digital chicanery, and even has a book coming out to prove it. The book, "Black Box Voting: Ballot-Tampering in the 21st Century" has its own promotional Web site, throughout which Bev has sprinkled tantalizing nuggets of pseudo-evidence. "

Cheers, y'all
