Ion Sancho, the Election Supervisor of Leon County, Florida who exposed a number of security flaws in Electronic Voting Machines made by the Diebold corporation of North Canton, Ohio, today launched legal "breach of contract" proceedings against the company. The action has been filed on behalf of the Leon County Supervisor of Elections office.

Leon County Election Supervisor Alleges 'Breach of Contract' After Security Test Revealed Hackable Elections Possible on Diebold Optical-Scan Systems!

E-Voting Monolith and 'Competitors' All Refuse to do Business with County Unless the Elected Ion Sancho is 'Removed from Office'

Now the Republicans in Florida, all the way up to Governor Jeb Bush's office, have taken notice of the situation and instead of lauding Sancho for his actions, have decided to bring political pressure to bear on the elected Sancho.

With all three companyies now refusing to do business with him, and pressure being applied from Diebold as well as state and local officials to do "do something about Sancho"

3. "Do Something About Sancho"

I like the sound of that. As for what to "do about Sancho," I'd say...

Medal of Freedom? Nah...it used to mean something.

10. A must-listen audio (1 hour) of Sancho with the press this week:

Listen to this hour-long editorial board interview with Mr. Sancho from earlier this week, after his meeting with SOS Cobb. It's very eye-opening and full of details about what is going on:

Look for the March 14th link (sorry, link breaks in a post)

About 1/3 of the way in, I think...

16. excellent

Sancho is a great spokesperson on the election issues. A voice of SANITY. He details how anyone can change votes without detection and offers ways to put in safeguards against this. Describes the wrangles with Diebold and ES&S he has had. He says that Florida has turned over voting to a private system without any accountability, a legalized monopoly.

11. How do we get him Olbermann! This has got to get on Nat TV.

[bleever]

23. And Randi Rhodes, as a Floridian, would be a natural for this story too.

FYI: [e-mail].

13. And the MSM still refuses to cover this news!

which means it could undoubtedly expose the truth about this administration...this government!

14. Go Ion! (nt)

20. I had the pleasure of voting for him twice before leaving Tallahassee

Makes me one smart dude.:evilgrin:

[donsu]

21. hope people have his back

sending him much stamina

[happydreams]

22. Aren't the Rethugs interested in having sound voting machines?

I mean jeez if they don't count the votes properly Repugs could be shortchanged as well as other political parties :sarcasm:

Their reaction to Sancho tells oodles about their culpability.

[librechik]

24. ha--they're "counting" on only the dems getting shafted

and as long as they are, they won't have to worry about getting shortchanged themselves.

[Catherine Vincent]

25. They know the machines helped their guy get to the top illegally.

Once again, Bush will be referred to as an illegitimate president.

[free_belmont]

26. too late

Bush stole Florida twice, where was Sancho then?

But still better late than never.
