... and the story of Florida voting gets weirder and weirder.....

In sworn affidavit, a programmer publicly states he developed vote-rigging prototype for Florida congressman… then his dog gets killed…

There’s a lot of news emerging this week about Clint Curtis, a former programmer for a NASA contractor that said that he developed a vote-rigging prototype a few years ago at the request of a then-Florida state representative who is now a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.

While working for Yang Enterprises in Florida, the 46-year-old programmer says he was instructed by then-Republican state representative Tom Feeney to “develop a prototype of a voting program that could alter the vote tabulation in the election and be undetectable.”

A few hours after this story was exposed on the BRAD BLOG, Mr. Curtis’ previously-health German Shepherd was found mysteriously dead in his Florida home. As it turns out, this is only the tip of the iceberg. There was also a mysterious “suicide” of a Florida state official, and a trail of some very disturbing connections

I think it’s important to have some healthy skepticism about any potential scandal. It’s very easy to make things up, but the real challenge is finding the actual truth. With any luck, we’ll get more information about Mr. Curtis’ claim, and see if it holds up to greater scrutiny. I wonder if this developing story will be acknowledged at today’s Senate hearings on the topic of voting irregularities.

The man behind BRAD BLOG, Brad Friedman, is a freelance writer, investigative blogger, software designer and self-proclaimed “all around trouble maker.” He broke the story of the "White House Website Scrubbing" that dealt with the administration’s efforts to re-write history on the internet.

You thought Florida had problems? Just wait...... There's an interesting article in today's New York Times on high tech ballot boxes. (If you haven't already registered with NY Times to access these pages, just do it- it's free!) "To Register Doubts, Press Here" by Sam Lubel http://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/15/technology/circuits/15vote.html?8cir One paragraph in particular stuck out for me: "Mike Kernell, a longtime Tennessee state assemblyman from Memphis and a technology enthusiast, is concerned about future elections because the new machines are harder to get a look at. 'We used to be able to check the machines and see if they'd been tampered with,' he said. 'It is now almost impossible.' Mr. Kernell wonders whether he will have to hire a computer programmer in his next race to make sure the machines are working smoothly and haven't been tampered with. 'We've hit a brick wall,' he said." Of ...

So just why did America go to war with Iraq, anyways? While some conservatives are jumping for joy, declaring victory over this MidEast country, it's still a bloody mess, and America's troops still continue to die as a result of the chaos that's been unleashed. THE FIRST REASON was something to do with WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION . So far, these weapons have not been found. In a Reuters-Yahoo news story recycled by the Daily Kos , is this recent entry: (Paul) Wolfowitz, seen as one of the most hawkish figures in the Bush administration's policy on Iraq, said President Saddam Hussein's alleged cache of chemical, biological and possibly nuclear weapons was merely one of several reasons behind the decision to go to war. "For bureaucratic reasons, we settled on one issue, weapons of mass destruction, because it was the one reason everyone could agree on," Wolfowitz was quoted as saying in Vanity Fair magazine's July issue. No chem...
