SAN FRANCISCO - A manufacturer of electronic voting machines has employed at least five convicted felons as managers, according to critics demanding more stringent background checks for people responsible for voting machine software.
Voter advocate Bev Harris alleged Tuesday that managers of a subsidiary of Diebold Inc., one of the country's largest voting equipment vendors, included a cocaine trafficker, a man who conducted fraudulent stock transactions, and a programmer jailed for falsifying computer records.

The programmer, Jeffrey Dean, wrote and maintained proprietary code used to count hundreds of thousands of votes as senior vice president of Global Election Systems Inc. Diebold purchased GES in January 2002.

According to a public court document released before GES hired him, Dean served time in a Washington correctional facility for stealing money and tampering with computer files in a scheme that "involved a high degree of sophistication and planning."

3. My God Man!

You are making a difference.

Good on ya!

[Julien Sorel]

4. I'm a little surprised Newsmax

would print such an article.


I hope you find some way to work this into a stump speech.

5. I am still trying to pick my Jaw up off the floor...

it hit so hard I think it is stuck.

9. Having your name mentioned in an AP story is

a nice feather. I don't know what you're doing as far as campaign literature, but if you can find a way to tastefully reference the article, it would lend you credibility, as a one-issue candidate. And it was nice to see Boxer's name in the same article -- it never hurts to have your name mentioned in the same article as a heavyweight.

6. some of these repukes are ornery to their own

kind of like Larry Klay-head and his suit against Cheney

Even Drudge is spilling blood into the water

Cheney and his merry band of thieves are soon to be chum.

18. Maybe they didn't get the memo

That this was a taboo issue cuz it's the repugs behind it. The freeper mentality equates cheating with what they call rats so they must have assumed otherwise.

7. Awright, Gbnc!! Some burrs under the saddle cannot be ignored...

Thanks so much for your continuing efforts with this critical matter.

Best to you -- :toast:

[DrZhivago]

8. congratulations

[PaDUer]

10. Was this article

on freepsville yet? Will be interesting to know what they're saying..watch you back and stay safe.
Do you have a membership on the other side?

[Andy_Stephenson]

11. no

and now back to bed...I had a nightmare and woke up

[radwriter0555]

12. What was the specific crime dean was in jail for? who was he working for

or who did he commit the crime against? Can anyone find out?

[Andy_Stephenson]

14. 23 counts of

embezzlement.

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. A fine, upstanding citizen, I see.

Horse pucky?

[BevHarris]

15. He perpetrated his crime against one of the leading law firms

Culp, Guterson & Grader

and he funneled the money into a firm I'd like to know more about:

Dean & Redman

Any info on either of the above may be helpful in finding out who bankrolled Jeffrey Dean into Spectrum. There was also a David W. Dean working at Spectrum, at least until quite recently, and a Neil Dean running PSI Group, the mailing firm where Jeffrey Dean went to work upon leaving prison. Neil Dean was living in Bellevue, Washington and managing the Washington branch of PSI, now living in New Jersey, I think, managing PSI Group at a higher level.

19. Great job Andy

Google turns up 1100 hits on you and google news had 16, thought it seems that there were many missing that were there after the press conference Tuesday. You do share a name with a wrestler in Travis City, Mi. tho so you can't claim all the hits.

Way to go!!

:toast:

[blm]

Good one, blm. Andy has a great tub/shower. The tub is long enough for my 5' 10" frame. I can put my legs flat in it, which is more than I can say for mine.

:evilfrown:

[Andy_Stephenson]
