Clips from the video "The Big Fix 2000"

Who owns America’s elections? Did Mobsters decide the fate of the election in Florida, in a contest that had nothing to do with counting hanging chads? While the nation’s eyes were riveted on punch cards being held up to the light, Mob-controlled companies that count America’s vote were slipping through the back door and stealing the election.

Top executives of the election companies responsible for the Florida Vote Snafu have been convicted of multiple election-rigging felonies. “The hitherto-unexamined shady ownership of the two election companies largely responsible for the Florida Vote snafu reveals some sad and deeply-disturbing truths about the pervasive political corruption in America today,” says Hopsicker. “And the biggest shock is that no one in our nation’s so-called ‘free press’ has even hinted at any of this.”

How to Fix A Presidential Election, Pt. I: Convicted Felons, ‘Shadowy Financiers' Own Companies Counting Votes

An investigation into the surprisingly-sordid history of America’s “election services industry” has revealed that executives and owners of the two largest companies, E S & S and Sequoia Pacific, have been convicted of bribery and suborning public officials in more than a dozen states. It is a world filled with guys linked to the Mob, or international money launderers, Zurich currency manipulators, telecom scandals, off-shore Channel Islands accounts in the names of fictitious people, "untraceable shareholders," Bahamian resort owners, and supra-national financiers.

If you were to tell a friend that the same network doing business with the terrorists in Florida before the 911 attack three years ago was helping to count American votes three years later, they’d look at you like you were crazy.

Was Adnan Khashoggi a principal in a company which has been counting the votes of American servicemen overseas? Answer: highly likely. Both Election.com, and Triad, the election company cited for causing most of the problems in Ohio, should receive close scrutiny for evidence of Khashoggi involvement.

Triad manufactures punch-card voting systems, and also wrote the computer program that tallied the punch-card votes cast in 41 Ohio counties last November. The company is owned by a man named Tod Rapp, who has donated money to the Republican Party as well as the election campaign of George W. Bush.

After you read the story be sure to watch the video, a special 20-minute episode featuring Adnan Khashoggi, in "The Covert Op That Ate the World."

A “mistake” made in the office of a seriously compromised Supervisor of Election in Pinellas County whose husband is a top executive of the country’s largest election services company has almost spiked the best hope for a election recount in Florida. That might have thrown a spotlight on the dark corners of the Florida election process concealing widespread systemic and system-wide vote fraud.

CIA Helpful in Florida, Ukraine Elections

A retired CIA agent, whose illegal and unfettered access to election rolls in Martin County Florida was a major source of legal contention after the 2000 Election, traveled to the Ukraine four years earlier to teach “grass-roots politics” to people there, The Mad Cow Morning News has learned. Four years later, Kane’s credentials as a proponent of democracy were receiving much closer scrutiny... “Kane's efforts were part of a sinister underground conspiracy to help Bush,” Edward Stafman, attorney for the Martin County challengers told the Associated Press on December 7, 2000.

ELECTION COMPANY HAS LONG CRIMINAL RECORD:
Thugs, Racketeers Counting American Votes

While Ukrainians poured into the streets of their capital Kiev to protest a presidential election they say was stolen by that country’s current regime, here in the U.S. a little-known election company called Sequoia Pacific, responsible for putting our own ‘current regime’ in power four years ago, was at the center of controversy last week for the second Presidential election in a row.

One of America's two major election companies, Sequoia Pacific, has a felony 'rap sheet' an arm-long. In the endless news coverage of the recent Presidential Election, this news has somehow failed to surface, perhaps because if it had, people might start pouring into the streets here too. Visible in the public record of Sequoia Pacific, a company counting one in three American votes, is clear and convincing evidence that the company has been run, perhaps for decades, as a Continuing Criminal Enterprise specializing in blatant and widespread bribery of public officials, with numerous felony convictions, Mob ties, and a history replete with stories of threats, coercion, and even murder!

Black Box Voting- Founded by Bev Harris

A. Sunday, Jan. 30, 4 p.m. Columbus, Ohio: A meeting for citizen action -- Shelter House at the Whetstone Park of Roses (3923 North High Street, Columbus, Ohio)

Bev Harris, founder of Black Box Voting and the lead plaintiff in the only successful consumer protection lawsuit to date against a voting machine system, will meet with Ohio citizens to discuss concerns and strategies, and will make a brief presentation to frame the problem and recommend models for effective action.

Harris and Black Box Voting board member Jim March developed and presented evidence which contributed to the decision by Secretary of State Kevin Shelley to decertify Diebold touch-screens, and filed a false claims lawsuit which resulted in $2.6 million in damages, to be paid by Diebold to the state of California -- the only winning lawsuit so far targeting voting systems, and the largest-ever award for damages from any voting machine company.

B. WEDNESDAY FEB. 2, 2005: Black Box Voting has donated $2,000 towards the legal defense of Ohio attorneys. When voting integrity advocates in Ohio developed a five-foot-thick pile of evidence documenting fraudulent and improper conduct in the 2004 election, four attorneys -- Susan Truitt, Bob Fitrakis, Cliff Arnebeck and Pete Peckarsky -- filed a lawsuit on behalf of 37 voters. Ohio slapped back: Attorney General Jim Petro filed a motion to sanction the four attorneys.

The reason we at Black Box Voting feel so strongly about this effort to silence the Ohio attorneys is that we have experienced repeated attempts to stifle our efforts. Here are some examples:

In October, 2002, Black Box Voting founder Bev Harris was hit with a cease and desist order by voting machine vendor Election Systems & Software (ES&S), simply for breaking the story of its real ownership, which included Senator Chuck Hagel and his campaign finance director Michael McCarthy.

In September, 2003, Black Box Voting was hit with a cease and desist order by voting machine vendor Diebold Inc. Black Box Voting (.ORG) was the first Web site to publish internal e-mails written by Diebold programmers and executives; a posting on the Black Box Voting (.org) forum on Sept. 5, 2003 revealed a memo showing how easy it is to achieve remote access into the Diebold central vote tabulator, and on Sept. 10, Harris published the first detailed analysis of the internal e-mails, documenting the use of uncertified software in California and Florida, and alteration of the GEMS audit log in order to do "end runs" around the vote tabulation system. This triggered a takedown of the BlackBoxVoting.org Web site.

In an unprecedented overreaching and abuse of the DMCA laws, the Diebold cease and desist to Black Box Voting (.org) triggered the shutdown of all 300 pages of the site for 30 days. The order was not lifted until Ohio congressman Dennis Kucinich, in a bold act of leadership, published the Diebold memos on his own congressional Web page and dared Diebold to come after him; Diebold then released its cease and desist orders. Diebold was later found by the courts to have abused the DMCA laws to shut down discussion on information of critical public interest.

In October 2003, Harris was subjected to repeated entrapment attempts, which she did not fall for. Based on these entrapment attempts, the Secret Service embarked on an investigation trying to obtain the names and IP addresses of everyone who had visited this Web site.

In the spring of 2004, Harris was issued a gag order by the U.S. attorney, with a letter asking her to appear before a federal grand jury in connection with the investigation by the Secret Service. After an expose by Seattle Weekly journalist George Howland, and negotiations by California attorney Lowell Finley, their intimidation tactics ceased.

C. MONDAY FEB. 21, 2005: Volusia County Update

Volusia County: Volusia County elections worker Lana Hires has resigned. She wrote the famous Diebold memo about the minus 16,022 votes for Gore in 2000 (see Chapter 13 of the Black Box Voting book). Lana Hires was at the warehouse in November 2004 when Bev Harris and Kathleen Wynne found elections records, including a signed poll tape and a homemade ballot, in the warehouse trash. A county voter registration record, filled out by a voter, was found by Black Box Voting, Votergate producer Russell Michaels, and Pynchon in the street outside Hires's house, indicating that she had taken county election records home. Hires had a key to the ballot vault and 24-hour access to the building.

D. TUESDAY MAR. 8, 2005: Investigation Update (Submitted to members of the House Judiciary Committee on Mar. 4 and Mar. 8.)

In mid-February, Black Box Voting, together with computer experts and videographers, under the supervision of appropriate officials, proved that a real Diebold system can be hacked. This was not theoretical or a "potential" vulnerability. Votes were hacked on a real system in a real location using the actual setup used on Election Day, Nov. 2, 2004.

An update on the Black Box Voting “Help America Audit” project

The news coming out of Ohio -- vote suppression and punch card problems (Triad) -- is fascinating. As you know if you have been following this site, we are a nonpartisan 501c(3) organization and are prohibited by law from becoming involved in recounts or partisan politics. You can expect more news from Ohio, especially in the areas of punch card integrity and vote suppression.

To date, almost nowhere have the elections held on optical scan and touch screen machines really been audited. Citizens are finding their questions surprisingly unwelcome in too many places. What we need is REAL electoral reform, so that all votes, everywhere, for all positions, are cast and counted accurately. That is the mission of Black Box Voting. We are in it for the long haul, and our overall mission is to force accountability and transparency back into our electoral system, on both local and national levels.

THE “HELP AMERICA AUDIT” CAMPAIGN

On Election Night, Nov 2, 2004, Black Box Voting sent out a massive Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. What we requested were audit documents – internal logs from the voting machines themselves, in every county in America.

Our first audit, Volusia County Florida, using the documents we received from our Nov. 2 request, resulted in a lawsuit seeking to set aside the election in that county due to missing records and discrepancies. We are still working on Volusia County.

Our second audit, Palm Beach County, Florida, resulted in a lawsuit against Theresa LePore (of butterfly ballot fame in the 2000 election) for unlawfully withholding records. She has still refused to part with a large part of the records, and we are still fighting to get them. We will win this fight; the question is, how long can she delay?

  Inside A U.S. Election Vote Counting Program by Bev Harris

According to election industry officials, electronic voting systems are absolutely secure, because they are protected by passwords and tamperproof audit logs. But the passwords can easily be bypassed, and in fact the audit logs can be altered. Worse, the votes can be changed without anyone knowing, even the County Election Supervisor who runs the election system.

The computer programs that tell electronic voting machines how to record and tally votes are allowed to be held as "trade secrets." Can citizen's groups examine them? No. The companies that make these machines insist that their mechanisms are a proprietary secret. Can citizen's groups, or even election officials, audit their accuracy? Not at all, with touch screens, and rarely, with optical scans, because most state laws mandate that optical scan paper ballots be run through the machine and then sealed into a box, never to be counted unless there is a court order. Even in recounts, the ballots are just run through the machine again. Nowadays, all we look at is the machine tally.

Therefore, when I found that Diebold Election Systems had been storing 40,000 of its files on an open web site, an obscure site, never revealed to public interest groups, but generally known among election industry insiders, and available to any hacker with a laptop, I looked at the files. Having a so-called security-conscious voting machine manufacturer store sensitive files on an unprotected public web site, allowing anonymous access, was bad enough, but when I saw what was in the files my hair turned gray. Really. It did.

The contents of these files amounted to a virtual handbook for vote-tampering: They contained diagrams of remote communications setups, passwords, encryption keys, source code, user manuals, testing protocols, and simulators, as well as files loaded with votes and voting machine software.

Will Bush Backers Manipulate Votes to Deliver GW Another Election?

A recent article by Julie Carr Smyth in The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that the head of Diebold is also a top fundraiser for President Bush's re-election. In a recent fund-raising letter Diebold's chief executive Walden O'Dell said he is "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year." In July, O'Dell invited Vice President Dick Cheney to his house for a fundraiser, which poured $500,000 into Cheney's coffers.

On a trip to Ohio, President Bush visited one of Diebold's board members - W.R. Timken - who took him on a tour of the company. Timken, like O'Dell, is a "Pioneer" - the name given to wealthy Bush benefactors.

According to Harris, a study of the campaign contributions made by Diebold and its employees revealed an unusual pattern: Hundreds of thousands of dollars were being funneled to a few Republican candidates with very little to any other party. 

Diebold has long claimed it does not track votes on Election Day but Harris said this file of election data from San Luis Obispo County, California shows otherwise. "It is impossible for this file to have existed if there wasn't some sort of illicit electronic communication going on for remote access," Harris said.

"It's against the law to start counting the votes before the polls have closed. But this file is date and time stamped at 3:31 in the afternoon on Election Day, and somehow all 57 precincts managed to call home add them themselves up in the middle of the day. Not only once but three times," Harris said. "If you have no electronic communications between the polling places and the main office, how does that happen? Because what would you literally have to do is to shut down the polling place in 57 places at once and get in a car and drive this card into the county office. That's not going to happen."

Technically, under the Diebold system that means it is possible for someone who has access to the system to monitor the progress of the voting results throughout the day and to potentially manipulate them.
