You may have read my posts about Clint Curtis, the programmer who was asked by FL Rep. Tom Feeney to write a computer program to see how possible it would be to rig the 2000 election in Florida. Well, more on Feeney now, Via BradBlogFeeney, who represented Yang Enteprises, Inc. (YEI) -- a Florida software firm which harbored at least one illegal alien indicted and convicted recently on espionage charges related to illegally sending missile chips to China -- is, ironically enough, throwing a "C'est la vie, Comrade Rather" fundraising party
this evening. Feeney was YEI's corporate attorney and registered
lobbyist for years while he was also Florida Speaker of the house
before heading to the U.S. Congress in 2002. He was also Jeb Bush's
former running mate in his first failed bid for Florida governor. He
has also been implicated by programmer Clint Curtis for conspiring to build a "vote-rigging" program in 2000.
But according to the LA Times
-- surprise, surprise! -- Feeney is being identified as having taken
expensive luxury golf trips to St. Andrews, Scotland on the tab of a
Republican lobbying firm now under criminal investigation. This appears to go deep. Why, exactly, do you think that the Republican leadership was so happy with Feeney that they sent him on this trip with DeLay? Perhaps because he did such a good job of trying to rig (or succeeding in rigging) the Florida election?
Speaking of rigged elections, this from BlackBoxVoting.org: In February, we were allowed to try various hacking techniques into a real election system. To our surprise, the method used in our October simulation did not work.
However, another method did work. The hack that did work was unsophisticated enough that many high school students would be able to achieve it. This hack altered the election by 100,000 votes, leaving no trace at all in the central tabulator program. It did not appear in any audit log. The hack could have been executed in the November 2004 election by just one person.
This hack stunned the officials who were observing the test. It calls into question the results of as many as 40 million votes in 30 states. We are awaiting the response of the House Judiciary Committee to this new development for their investigation.
