<> ~ 6:35 pm CST – Election investigator KATHLEEN WYNNE



Kathleen Wynne, former Associate Director of Black Box Voting, was a fulltime investigator there since the organization was founded in 2004. Wynne mentors citizens, teaching them how to monitor local elections and consults with public officials. She has testified at numerous public hearings and has provided evidence to members of the U.S. Congress, the EAC and other public bodies. Previously, Wynne spent 20 years as a senior administrator with major New York City law firms. Her extensive legal experience has been invaluable in helping to teach citizens how to document elections problems with evidence that can stand up to scrutiny.

Wynne has just returned from a courtroom in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, where her videotapes are being used as evidence of recount breaches in the 2004 Ohio election.

Her investigations into the money trail that weaves through the election arena resulted in the first documented chain of money between Diebold and public officials. She videotaped all four of the Black Box Voting hack studies by Harri Hursti and Dr. Herbert Thompson in Leon County, Florida, and Emery County, Utah.

Monitor co-host Pokey Anderson will ask her about some of these situations, and the broader context of election reform as support builds for some sort of legislation.

Kathleen is now living in Texas, and continues her efforts to get honest, transparent elections. She has appeared on CNN’s Lou Dobbs’ show and others, as well as a previous appearance on The Monitor.

QUOTE BY KATHLEEN WYNNE:
“There is a growing number of Americans who do not want any kind of machine counting our votes. We are not being listened to because we are not the anointed experts on the subject. What's wrong with this picture? Everything.

Our elections do not belong to the experts, the politicians, the vendors, the election officials....they belong to the average citizens, who make up the majority of this country and whose voices are not being heard and that's got to stop.”

2. Apologies. The radio station's live streaming capability is down.

The archives are also down.

The engineer is working on the problem.

If you'd like to listen to Kathleen, try checking back tomorrow afternoon, after a weekday staffer gets a crack at fixing whatever is wrong.

Sigh. There are a few drawbacks to relying on technology to air ... a discussion of some of the problems with relying on technology to run our elections.
