Bad Deeds for 8-29-2007

Computer Programmer Asked by Republican Congressman to Create a Vote-Rigging Program Just before the 2000 Election in Florida – Computer Programmer Clint Curtis was asked by Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL) to create a touch-screen vote-rigging prototype program, just months prior to the 2000 election when they both worked at the same Florida software firm. Curtis has since become a Democrat and is now running against Feeney.

Voting Machine Company Wanted Havoc in the 2000 Elections in Florida to Help Sell Voting Machines – Seven voting machine company whistleblowers reveal that, despite their objections, they were forced to use poor quality paper for the punchcards to be used in Florida in 2000. They also had been instructed to deliberately misalign the chads for ballots going to Palm Beach County, FL, only (a Democratic county). Sequoia apparently purposely attempted to create havoc with Florida’s punch-cards in 2000.

Slow Internet is Costing America – In the early 1990s, Verizon and other phone companies were given $200 billion to lay out fiber-optic wire. More than 10 years later, the average speed in the United States continues to lag behind the rest of the world. And it’s costing us economically.
