Computer Program to Rig Elections? By Geniusofdespair



This is a guy who worked in Tallahassee he talks about Tom Feeney paying him to develop source code for voting machines in Florida. This video appears to take place in Ohio. Bizarre. Posted April 18, 2011 but appears to be recorded much earlier. Feeney has been out of office since 2008. The programmer in the video worked for NASA, Dept. of Transportation, etc, tells how to tamper with code but didn't realize that is what he was hired to do until after he did it and spoke to a Feeney staff member.

In September 2006, Feeney was named one of the "20 Most Corrupt Members of Congress" in a report by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. Watch the video, make your own conclusions.

Check out this article on Clinton Curtis. People who know him in Tallahassee say he's a nut job. Consider the source.

When you watch, watch all the way to the end. There are so many jewels of information here. Even if code is put in machines, the code can be written so it "eats itself" so it is not detectable, or even if the code is not present in the machines, they can be set with a flag that causes the centralized tabulator to make a change at that point. How about the Chinese guy who was working for DOT who got the $100 fine and no jail time, but who had found a way to initiate wire taps and was transmitting info to outside sources. Did any of this make the news?

G.o.D., now can we talk about Accenture and the ties to the Governor's cabinet? I think its a good time to do so.

Also, who, in Talli, might be linked to Feeney who is still in office. Let's talk about them too.

We suspected this all along. So please explain why we should actually vote?

Which system did he write his software for? Diebold? ES&S? How did he know the proprietary system code when most voting machine makes used their own operating system and not Windows. Especially since he claims not to be able to decompile the source code on a machine. Without that decomplled source code you can't write the code to insert.

Very dubious testimony.

Watch again. He was asked if this could be written. Then he assumed it was for the right reasons. Then he realized it was for the wrong reasons.

To the person who refers to Curtis as a "nut job", sure. If I were in Tallahassee and, perhaps, on the wrong side of things, I might try to discredit him. The real issue here is whether this can be done. Let's put the question to some brainiacs. What do you think they are gong to say? Huh? Right.

Double that with the Accenture debacle with the 59,000 names that were scrubbed from voting lists in 2000. Are you saying that someone wasn't trying to "steal an election". Come on!

Excuse my brain fart, but what would be the right reason to commit election fraud? What would be the right reason to write code that "eats iteself"? Perhaps we need to redefine "elections"?

Anyway, it sounds like 'Lulz Security' to me :P

Re: brain fart comment

Actually, it does make sense. You want to know what can be done so you can protect against it. What he said here is that he assumed these questions were being asked for that reason and then later came to believe that their intention was of a sinister nature.

Perfect example - why does gov. hire hackers? Same reason. We need data bases that are secure. You can try to discredit this guy, but I think you need to listen to him.

This is Florida. We are the new Illinois!
