Who stole those votes in Alabama in 2002? Don Siegelman names names--but the media doesn't want to know

Here is his reply:


Mark, I mention the vote stealing in every interview. 60 Minutes cut it out. Don Abrams didn't want to go there either. I have told the story to the Washington Post and LA Times.

The hook is Rove's fingerprints are found there too. First, in that Rove's friend Jack Abramoff hires Dan Gans, who was in charge of " electronic ballot security" in Baldwin County, Alabama, where the votes were stolen. Gans, working for the Alexander Strategies Group, claims credit for the win on his website, which he then takes down when Abramoff gets arrested. The second is Rove's business partner, Kitty Mc Cullough (a/k/a Kelly Kimbrough) is given credit for the electronic vote switch by the state Republican Party.


I asked Don if I could send that out, and he said yes ("Have at it"). So now I offer it to you.

If you're an election reform activist, please start your (search) engines. If you're a journalist, please do your job. And if you're just another patriotic citizen, please do whatever you can do to get the press, and/or the Democratic Party, to pay heed.


For starters, how about asking "60 Minutes" why they "cut it out," and asking Dan Abrams why he "didn't want to go there either"? And since Don also told the Washington Post and LA Times about the theft of that election, how about we ask them, too?


This stuff will just keep on happening, until we make it dangerous to do such things.

2. Off to greatest! Thanks kpete!

Get this out there, Folks!

Edit to say I posted this on another forum and the comment there was that this article is not clear enough about what election we are talking about.

So to be clear, please frame your comments Re: the 2002 Alabama gubernatorial election in which Republican Bob Riley was supposed to have had a narrow victory over incumbent Democrat Don Siegelman.

4. And speaking of dry runs

remember those 20 counties in MI that counted "uncommitted" as "write-in" in our primary? And that the SoS's office first told me those ballots were then handcounted until she slipped, and said some machines had been "reprogramed"?

What a perfect place to practice not only rigging but, also, to see if anyone noticed.

5. Gotta plan the getaway as carefully as the heist.
