Title: John Gardner promoted again - Colorado Springs
Independent
Gardner No. 2
for Balink
http://www.csindy.com/colorado/noted/Content?oid=1640739
March 4, 2010 - Whoever
believes that misrepresenting the truth doesn't get you anywhere has
never met John Gardner.
Despite
apparent falsehoods in past job applications and in court testimony,
the information systems manager for the El Paso County Clerk and
Recorder's Office has moved up to chief deputy, the office's No. 2
position.
Questions
about Gardner's background emerged after he returned to work for the
clerk and recorder's office in 2008 after a stint working for
Colorado's secretary of state. On his first El Paso County application
in 2001, and on his state application, he claimed a college degree
from Montana State University. He said the same thing in court
testimony when his work on electronic voting machines at the secretary
of state's office was called into question.
He changed
his story when he applied again to work at the clerk's office, and
Montana State had no record of him having a degree from there.
(See "Issues of
oversight," News, Sept. 25,
2008.)
Despite all the
questions the discrepancies raised, they didn't change much for him
professionally as he remained the No. 3 person in Clerk Bob Balink's
office. As No. 2, he'll replace former boss Terry Sholdt, who has
retired after more than 35 years in the office. ?

Gardner and his "certification" of Colorado voting equipment

Accenture for the failed SCORE I voter registration database is

When Gardner left the Colorado
Sec. of State office former Chief Information
Officer Brian Balay commented on Gardner's abilities
http://www.ejfi.org/Voting/Voting-75.htm#corruption:
"He was an 'IT power user.
That means he's pretty good on a PC, that he can use a spreadsheet,
word processor, et cetera. He does not have an IT
background."
So the
highest level of technical and computer programming ability we have at
the El Paso County Clerk and Recorders office is someone who can
handle word processing and spreadsheets.
I've set up
a Facebook discussion on the requirements for a clerk and recorder
position at
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&gid=278553463500 and you are encouraged to join in. Without grass roots
support it is very likely an attorney, who is currently a term-limited
county commissioner with even fewer technical and computer skills than
John Gardner will become the El Paso County Clerk and Recorder next
January. So your support is
essential.
