I just got off the phone with Elizabeth Clark of Daily Camera. I said I'm with BCV, and urged her to give coverage to the http://www.blackboxvoting.org press conference material. I pointed her to the bbv site for further details. She asked if there is a local connection, I said it's really nationwide, and noted the recent developments with Boulder County Clerks/Commisioners wrt e-voting purchases. She said they'd look at bbv.org & on the wires (AP) and see what they could distill from it all. Could some other BCVers rattle the cages of some of the other papers? This is fresh gasoline for our fire, any and all raising of public awareness is key to our cause. -Tom Rategan Note: forwarded message attached. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

http://www.blackboxvoting.org has been updated. News conference has been underway for an hour, so check that BBV.org page directly, since further updates are likely. snip Tuesday Dec 16, 2003 PRESS CONFERENCE - Update What we have, in Washington State, is this: We?ve got the state election director misstating when versions were certified, somebody at the secretary of state?s office signing off on software with no NASED number, and when we try to find out what software is actually authorized, we get the buffalo shuffle. We?ve got a convicted drug dealer printing our ballots, a 23-count embezzler programming our voting system, and our absentee ballots are being funneled through a private company that hires mainly immigrants but also people straight out of prison. We?ve now documented 10 states that are using unauthorized software, and internal memos that indicate that five Diebold programmers uploaded these unauthorized programs, knowing that this was not allowed. Supporting documents Statement by Andy Stephenson, candidate for Washington secretary of state. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
