Brad: New voting machine co. whistleblower speaks out; TX primary affected

EXCLUSIVE: Hart InterCivic Whistleblower Warned of Texas, Ohio E-Voting 'Fraud' Concerns in 2004!
100,000+ Votes Were Errantly Added by Hart Machines in a Single County in Last Tuesday's Primary via Flawed, Paperless 'eSlate' Touch-Screen System!
Former Hart Employee, Tarrant County TX Election Worker Notified State, Legal Authorities in 2004 About Serious Voting Machine Problems, Procedures...All Warnings and Complaints Ignored


Continuing in an exclusive BRAD BLOG series of Voting Machine Vendor and Election Fraud whistleblowers, another insider, from yet another voting machine company, has now come forward to reveal a myriad of known problems inside both the company and in several states and counties with whom they do business.

During last Tuesday's Primary Election in the state of Texas, scores of "computer glitches" -- as voting officials and electronic voting machine vendors like to refer to them -- were revealed occurred across the state. Many of those "glitches" occurred on electronic voting equipment manufactured and supplied to various counties in Texas by the Hart InterCivic company.

One such "glitch" occurred in Texas' Tarrant County, which encompasses Fort Worth. That "glitch" resulted in some 100,000 votes being added to the result totals across the county's paperless Hart-Intercivic "eSlate" touch-screen voting system.

Election Officials in Tarrant claim they didn't look into the problems on Election Night as the problem emerged because, as reported by the Star-Telegram last week, "they were dealing with a new system, new procedures and some new equipment."

The BRAD BLOG can now report, however, that according to William Singer, a Hart InterCivic company whistleblower -- who also happened to have later worked as an "election programmer" in Tarrant County -- the problems with Hart InterCivic's systems in Tarrant County, Texas and elsewhere are not new at all. Not by a longhorn long shot...

He is not affected by Tarrent Co votes, however.

I remember that after the 2004 theft that there was suspicion that many of the "extra" votes for * came from "safe states" like Texas where there was unlikely to be an audit, Heavens knows is DeLay was illegally elected, or if * was ever really Gov of Texas.

The Star-Telegram I think. It's not a rigidly conservative paper, is even perhaps slightly to the left, tho not very much. Still, they might be willing to look at the truth for once, especially since Tarrant County is Ft. Worth. If nobody living around there volunteers, I'll do it myself.

As for Delay winning: you can't know who wins when a country is not a democracy and the US is not a democracy now. When the votes are counted in secret using proprietarial software, without the results being automatically audited for accuracy, YOU DO NOT HAVE A DEMOCRACY.

I doubt very seriously that Delay won his seat; however, I don't know if it was Hart Intercivic that gave it to him, more likely Diebold or ES&S, but they're all in cahoots IMHO, and good exit polls would probably show that Delay lost or was in a much closer race than the results, whatever they were, indicated.
