AL JAZEERA BREAKS STORY OF COMPUTER VOTE FRAUD IN AMERICAN ELECTION


Last night on Al Jazeera's English language channel, broadcast live  

throughout the world and available now on the internet (links below),  

correspondent Riz Khan hosted computer programmer and whistleblower  

Clint Curtis and blogger Brad Friedman (Bradblog.com) as they  

described how Curtis was contracted by then Speaker of the House of  

Florida, and current Congressman from the 25th District, Tom Feeney  

(R), to write vote flipping software in anticipation of the 2000  

election.


While Curtis and Friedman admit that it has never been proven that  

this software was ever used to flip an election, they cite many  

examples of vote flipping from Republican to Democrat that persist  

from 2000 and 2004 to this day, and with the 2008 Presidential  

election looming next week, concerns about the integrity of  

computerized voting has led them and many other vote reform activists  

to advocate paper ballots for complete transparency in our elections.


The occasion of the news report coincides not only with the upcoming  

election, but also with the release of the movie "Murder, Spies and  

Voting Lies," which documents Curtis's story and Friedman's efforts  

as a journalist and blogger to bring it to the public's attention.   

The movie documents their unsuccessful efforts to bring their charges  

to the mainstream media and to the Inspector General in Florida, who  

in the course of his investigation meets an untimely death. Curtis  

tells of his testimony to a Congressional hearing of this affair, and  

writing an affidavit enunciating all the details and even passing a  

lie detector test confirming all his assertions.


Other election reformers like Bob Fritrakis, a lawyer, journalist and  

political scientist from Ohio, who is expert in the 2004 Ohio  

election irregularities and Harri Hursti, a Finnish computer security  

specialist, who is now working on a "silver bullet" solution to  

computer voting (although he says it will be at least ten years out),  

add further to the mysterious irregularities of the recent American  

Presidential elections and compel a solution not only for America but  

for all democracies in the world, as these same computer technologies  

which can be so easily hacked are being exported everywhere.


Speaking with Friedman after the broadcast, he revels in the irony  

that it took a foreign news organization like Al Jazeera to finally  

break this story, more than eight years after the fact, when American  

organizations like ABC, CBS, NY Times and the Washington Post have  

all known about the charges, but refused to publish them for at least  

four years.  This story has been viral on the internet during that  

time, especially on Bradblog.com and has at times even overloaded his  

servers and temporarily broken his blog.


While the film has had a limited release on the American progressive  

network Link TV, where it will show one more time before the election  

and at half a dozen film festivals across the country including the  

Ft. Lauderdale in Florida and the Columbus in Ohio (tonight), the  

best way to see the film is to order a DVD copy from VotingLies.com.  

or from Amazon.com  The filmmakers encourage you to buy the disc and  

have a house party screening with friends and family and discuss how  

important the integrity of the voting process is to our democracy,  

then to pass the DVD on to others you know who would also benefit  

from seeing it.
