1. With Soros promising a reward of $10,000,000 for information of this

type of fraud, someone is likely to come forward, even if doing so means being sued by Diebold (for breaking secrecy aggrement.

3. I read something about a Soros reward yesterday but didn't hear

that it was for real. Do you have a link confirming Soros has offered $10 mil to anyone willing to expose the fraWd?

5. No link. I was going off of reports in DU on the 3rd.

Can check the archines. (I'm not sure how to.)

9. Can you share the spreadsheet?

Also, when it says a state is "electronic voting" or "paper ballot" does that mean statewide or just majority of ballots cast in the state?

8. Chuck Hagel?

Do you really think the repugs will run someone that middle of the road? I was thinking George Allen, Jeb Bush or Rick Santorum.

10. Wasn't it "Chuck Hagel" who won

in OK or Nebraska or whereever he's from originally ..with dubious black box voting?

I bet Bev could give the history on that..since I read if from one of her early posts.

One way to check out if the bbv and it's like are on the up and up ..is to see how hard the pukes try to fight the paper trail in congress.

11. That's an awesome yet scary graphic you have

These motherfuckers.

13. Hagel is complicit with Diebold....get it?

"In 1992, investment banker Chuck Hagel, president of McCarthy & Co, became chairman of AIS. Hagel, who had been touted as a possible Senate candidate in 1993, was again on the list of likely GOP contenders heading into the 1996 contest. In January of 1995, while still chairman of ES&S, Hagel told the Omaha World-Herald that he would likely make a decision by mid-March of 1995. On March 15, according to a letter provided by Hagel's Senate staff, he resigned from the AIS board, noting that he intended to announce his candidacy. A few days later, he did just that."

A little less than eight months after steppind down as director of AIS, Hagel surprised national pundits and defied early polls by defeating Benjamin Nelson, the state's popular former governor. It was Hagel's first try for public office. Nebraska elections officials told The Hill that machines made by AIS probably tallied 85 percent of the votes cast in the 1996 vote, although Nelson never drew attention to the connection. Hagel won again in 2002, by a far healthier margin. That vote is still angrily disputed by Hagel's Democratic opponent, Charlie Matulka, who did try to make Hagel's ties to ES&S an issue in the race and who asked that state elections officials conduct a hand recount of the vote. That request was rebuffed, because Hagel's margin of victory was so large.

As might be expected, Hagel has been generously supported by his investment partners at McCarthy & Co. -- since he first ran, Hagel has received about $15,000 in campaign contributions from McCarthy & Co. executives. And Hagel still owns more than $1 million in stock in McCarthy & Co., which still owns a quarter of ES&S."
