" " Felons: In some states, felons cannot vote -- but they can still count the vote, according to investigator Daniel Hopsicker. " http://homepage.oninet.pt/148mye/20041117.html quotes below from http://www.madcowprod.com/mc6912004.html : ES & S and SEQUOIA ES & S and Sequoia Pacific, have been convicted of bribery and suborning public officials in more than a dozen states. SEQUOIA [T]he original owner of Sequoia Pacific, " shadowy financier " Lewis Wolfson, who got caught bribing no less a personage than a Supreme Court Justice [Abe Fortas] of the United States of America. While Abe Fortas was forced to resign in disgrace, no such harsh fate befell Wolfson. Continuing this dubious 'tradition,' the owner of Sequoia Pacific until recently was also accused of bribing public officials, in this case the Prime Minister of Ireland. SMURFIT While the name Dr. Michael Smurfit is not well-known to Americans, his company manufactures the software used to compile more than two-thirds of the nation's electronically-counted votes. Analysts describe the software as " spaghetti code, " tangled strands of instructions indecipherable to outsiders. Experts say the code can be manipulated without detection. In fact, many believe it may have happened already. So it may be of interest to learn the Smurfit (the richest man in Ireland, though he's not Irish) has a penchant for hanging out at Geneva racetracks with international gamblers and Zurich currency speculators. He must have a habit for picking winners, too: his company was successful in suborning the Louisiana Commissioner of Elections for over a decade... SEQUOIA But the Sequoia Pacific " Southeast Sales Manger " , a man named Pasquale " Rocco " Ricci of Marlton, New Jersey, barely even got a slap on the wrist. For the crime of suborning democracy in the State of Louisiana for over a decade, Mr. Ricci was sentenced to just a year. . . . JERRY FOWLER--LOUISIANA'S ELECTIONS CHIEF Jerry Fowler had run up some big gambling debts at Harrah's in Atlantic City, we learned. So he found the chance to pay off by making his voting machines " pay off " irresistible. In all, 22 people were indicted, 9 pled guilty, and Fowler went to jail. quotes below from http://www.smithersmpls.com/2005/01/i-found-this-while-surfing-around.html DIEBOLD Diebold employed 5 convicted felons as consultants and developers to help write the central compiler computer code that counted 50% of the votes in 30 states. Jeff Dean was Senior Vice-President of General Election Systems when it was bought by Diebold. Even though he had been convicted of 23 counts of felony theft in the first degree, Jeff Dean was retained as a consultant by Diebold and was largely responsible for programming the optical scanning software now used in most of the United States. Diebold consultant Jeff Dean was convicted of planting back doors in his software and using a " high degree of sophistication " to evade detection over a period of 2 years.
