Interesting post on DU (ties in with one on e-use)

Input: Abramoff money --> Output: Election fraud

Mother-of-all-election-fraud: In 2002 House Administration Chair Congressman Bob Ney of Ohio was a prime sponsor of the (sic) "Help America Vote Act" (HAVA). In fact, HAVA was actually written in Bob Ney's office. HAVA, under the guise of resolving the 2000 election fraud issues, was actually written to promote the distribution of computerized voting systems across the nation. The bill was designed to send $3.8 billion taxpayer dollars straight into the pockets of corporations like Diebold, whose voting equipment has now been unequivacolly proven to provide an open door to election rigging. Diebold, one of the prime lobbyists for HAVA, was at the time a client of Greenberg Traurig, Abramoff's firm.

I have compiled plenty of information on this issue, which I am ready to provide in order to get this story out. I have access to eye witnesses and players who were physically present and participating in Bob Ney's office when HAVA was written. As sexy as congressional scandal is, it pales in comparison to the real story behind the Abramoff affair: the theft of our democracy.

5. Spread around the new technology .. and create distrust all the while.

Creates apathy. Good one Ney! Another seeming "policy" that has more to do with "politics".

Ney is in deep.

6. Not only did he write HAVA...

After it passed, he held all legislation referred to his committee which would ammend HAVA to make it reasonable, or at least accountable. Did this at least twice, last time I looked. Funny how the committee just never got around to consideration.
