It was something that that really influenced the direction of this, this nation. Intentionally or unintentionally...let's leave it that way. But, it's a sad state of affairs that it takes seven years for somebody to actually ask the question to the people that might have the answer. -Giles Jensen, Former Sequoia Employee

DID CRIMES OCCUR?

VOTER ACTION CALLS FOR A FULL CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION OF VOTING SYSTEMS COMPANIES

Public Call Issued Following New Evidence Revealed by Dan Rather Reports - "The Trouble with Touch Screens"

Group Says Voting Systems Companies May Have Engaged in Commercial Fraud

Last night's broadcast by Dan Rather Reports of "The Trouble with Touch Screens" raises serious questions as to whether US voting systems companies have engaged in commercial fraud by knowingly marketing defective products to jurisdictions throughout the country. It also serves as a wake-up call to the nation of the dangers associated with the outsourcing of key election functions to private vendors. Voter Action today calls on the United States Congress to launch a full investigation into the increasing influence and control that private companies wage in the way we conduct our elections and to determine whether certain US voting systems companies have committed crimes under federal and state anti-fraud statutes which should be referred to the appropriate authorities for prosecution.

The report cites seven former employees of Sequoia, the company that made punch card ballots used in the 2000 election in Florida, as saying that in 2000, the company began printing ballots on cheaper and possibly defective paper. Did the Sequoia company knowingly market defective paper for the printing of ballots in the 2000 election in Florida? Have any of the other voting systems companies knowingly marketed defective paper for the printing of ballots and, if so, in which other US elections have voters cast their votes on such ballots?

7. Interesting

Interesting how the workers suspect the company might have had a long range profit motive and decided to skew the Palm Beach election in order to get touch screen voting machines contracts. I think they are only half right.

This is the best evidence yet that 2000 was stolen.

oh well..

8. OK, you got me to finally watch it. And it was as bad as I thought.

Knowing engineering and manufacturing, I already had my ideas of what could have gone wrong. Boy was I surprised. I learned a few things. Some very bad things. I thank you for pushing me into finally watching. The burden of proof is difficult, especially on those who may have pushed this from the high levels. It's pretty obvious that's exactly what happened. This was no series of accidents. But that burden of proof...

I just hope we can get this out to the public, even without a "true" media. Only those with broadband or cable tv are going to see this.

29. civil rights denied on mass, should we file a class action suit?

Will anyone who is surprised, or even mildly doubtful that such a thing could occur please raise your hand and ask your kindergarten teacher if you may be excused from class due to your complete lack of attention for the past 30 years.

32. The sub-standard paper for Florida is really interesting . . . how far ahead of us are they now?????

If I ever thought for a minute that 2000 was a steal merely by the Supreme Court --

aided by the Republican fascist rally outside of Miami-Dade Election HQs

to STOP the vote counting --

I certainly was wrong.

This was a well-planned steal from the get-go --

Here it was at the beginning of '99 -- !!!!

And who knows what else has been going on -- ???!!!!

Signed the petition .... Thank you!!!
