Boing Boing: Video testimony of vote machine whistleblower
by Decius at 4:53 pm EDT, Oct 9, 2006

Here's video of Clint Curtis, a former programmer for Yang Enterprises (YEI) in Florida, testifying under oath that Representative Tom Feeney asked him to write a voting machine program to rig elections.

I'm not exactly sure what the deal is here, but this rabbit hole seems very, very deep, and I find it strange that I haven't heard any of this before given all of the drama about voting machines. This is either a crazy partisan conspiracy theory or its one of the worst corruption stories in this country's history. I haven't found any details that are, one their face, disprovable. On the other hand, the main story is being carried by blogs that seem a bit sensational and partisan. As they say, a broken clock is right twice a day... Anyone got any good information on this?

Update: Apparently Bev Harris isn't impressed. I don't think she understands the technical issues. However, her observation that there is no evidence is correct.

A few other interesting questions are :

Why SHOULD any of this even be a posssibility?

Who is the group responsible for investigating and gathering evidence to have oversight on this type of thing and where are they?

If these machines are so easilly hackable, WOULD someone rig an election? Who do we trust not to rig the elections?

The statistical gap in the exit polls is alarming. Who is working on explaining this gap? What possibilities are there?


There is a redundant post from Rattle not displayed in this view.
