The Texas Secretary of State's Office has selected IBM to assist in developing a statewide, Web-based system for managing its voter registration database, the company announced Tuesday.

IBM will collaborate with key subcontractor Hart InterCivic, an Austin-based company, in the $12 million project.

"With this solution, Texas will lead the country as the state with the most advanced, secure and accurate system for maintaining the highest level of voter integrity," Texas Secretary of State Roger Williams said.

1. I have friends at Hart InterCivic

They are programmers that work in the companies Lafayette, CO branch. I'm not sure if they are the ones developing these systems or not. I certainly hope so because they are good honest people.

4. Why Texas? Hmm let's see - rampant corruption, Bush family

friends, "suicides", Sugar Land, etc., etc.

By the way.. Roger Williams, SOS - partial bio

He is a trustee of TCU, the George Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M and the Southwestern Exposition Livestock Show and Rodeo, and served on the Texas Motor Vehicle Board. Earlier this year, he served as finance co-chairman of President George W. Bush's inauguration.

"With this solution, Texas will lead the country as the state with the most advanced, secure and accurate system for maintaining the highest level of voter integrity," yeah right...

5. Well, note...

Not a secure and accurate system for maintaining the highest level of election systems access and security.

No, it's "voter" integrity. :eyes:
