Uncounted clip of Clint Curtis, the million-dollar programmer. Needs sending far and wide.
Edited on Thu Jul-17-08 09:32 AM by Stevepol
This clip from "Uncounted" of Clint Curtis's testimony about his making a prototype of a program that would steal elections in South FL for Tom Feeney needs to be sent far and wide.

Send it to all your friends. It's so easy to forget. We need to have a blitz of contacts in the weeks and days leading up to the election. It may be the only defense left against the stealing of this election. The more awareness, the more possibility the criminals either won't act or if they do they'll be discovered or thwarted.

Just to add to this, a brief bit from Mary Mancini from the Uncounted folks about Curtis:

And so begins the story of Cint Curtis - computer programmer, Floridian, Republican - who was asked by the company he worked for to create a vote-rigging software prototype that he assumed would be used to try and "catch" would-be fraudsters. It was a standard "opposition research" assignment - or so he was told. The truth, of course, was something completely different and weaves into a tangled web the 2000 Presidential Election debacle, a now-sitting U.S. Congressman, and the number one threat to our national security - electronic voting.

Clint's story doesn't end with his resignation from his former company. Nor does it end with the offer of one million dollars to simply go away.

No, Clint Curtis' story ends with his taping up his hands, putting on his gloves, and a-bobbing and a-weaving right straight into that big ol' boxing ring that sits smack in the middle of the political arena.

And because he grew up thinking you're supposed to do the right thing regardless of party affiliation, Clint is still fighting to this day.

Clint Curtis knows that there are secret software programs that can be used to fix elections. How? Because he built one. And he also believes that there are people who will use these programs to try and fix elections. Why? Because he blew the whistle on one. Lastly, Clint understands that the number one threat to our democracy is electronic voting machines. Where? All over the country.

1. Too bad Clint got fucked over by the DCCC.
They made a pledge to support him this year against Feeney, then went behind his back and recruited someone else to support.
