DIEBOLD COVERUP



STEPHEN SPOONAMORE CONFRONTS MD BOARD OF ELECTIONS
WITH UNREDACTED SAIC REPORT

We have been asserting for years that Diebold (now Premier Elections Systems) makes voting machines that don’t work, are unreliable and that have flipped elections. Just last week, Diebold was forced to admit that software in its machines has been dropping votes for a decade. These machines are being used in 34 states in the upcoming election.

Two years ago, The Brad Blog broke the Pentagon Papers of E-Voting stories about the SAIC report on the vast problems with Diebold voting machines. In short, Diebold had issued a 40 page redacted version of the SAIC report which whitewashed the problems. Computer cyber security expert Stephen Spoonamore got a copy of the 197- page unredacted report which listed hundreds of serious problems, and he released that report to us.

Well, Spoonamore did more than that – he took the report to the Maryland Board of Elections and confronted them with it at a public meeting. He told them that if he were handed such a report in the private sector, he would "shut down the system and open a fraud investigation." The elections officials expressed shock that they had not ever seen the same unredacted report. And when the meeting was over, Spoonamore, with a concealed microphone, personally confronted the officials. And what did one of them say to him? That him having the report was "a security risk." Following the confrontation, Spoonamore was contacted by law enforcement officials who demanded to know how he got the report. We can say now that the report came from a high official in the Executive Branch who wanted to expose Diebold.

This exclusive report was prepared for a major news program but was killed prior to the mid-term elections. Why was it killed, and why did we have to wait another two years before Diebold was forced to admit that its voting machines are unreliable?

There must be transparency in the election process and this report underscores why these machines should be investigated from top to bottom by independent investigators before even being considered for use in an election. The lesson is clear – we cannot trust the vote machine companies and we need paper ballots for all votes cast.

18. This should be on the front page of every headline.

The fact that it isn't is an obvious testament to the corporate bias of our mainstream media.

[Kitty Herder]

19. You're so right.

And as long as it's out of the limelight, there will be little pressure to do anything about it.

25. Technically horrible website, though...

Takes 5 minutes to load, on a fast connection.

Runs scripts that will cause my computer to be unresponsive if I don't terminate it.

I terminate it, and my computer is unresponsive for another 10 minutes?

Jeez, my computer is only three years old. It's not a relic by any means.

Have two year old stories on the front page? No wonder it takes so long...

They need a programmer there, BIG time...

I can't imagine this thread isn't on the very top when so much is at stake.
