In the year 2000 I began investigating election problems from a technical standpoint. Since then I've testified as a expert witness in court on electronic voting equipment, and many times before Colorado legislative committees and hearings. I've also appeared before the El Paso County, Colorado, commission and the city council for Colorado Springs and spoken to a number of groups on election issues.
I also served on the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) voting equipment standards committee from its inception in 2001 to its demise in 2009. That committee of one of the world's premier standards organizations was unable to develop any usable standards for electronic voting equipment.
During this time period the number of people protesting the use of black boxes to run elections has grown from about a hundred to many tens of thousands across the entire United States.
Numerous times I have approached public officials with detailed explanations of the problems with current voting equipment and practices. Typically the response is a letter from an attorney obviously lacking computer experience or a technical background and filled with happy talk about how great the systems are and how I simply fail to understand the issues.
The following articles detail some of the work I've done with regard to election issues. More comprehensive information on Vote Fraud and Election Issues by many other authors as well is available. I've also published many newsletters on these problems over the past decade. My extensive management experience should be obvious from the Curmudgeon's Corner chapter and résumé.
One definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. As a result I am running for El Paso County (Colorado) Clerk and Recorder in 2010 when the current clerk is term limited with the hope of tackling these issues from within. Honest, transparent elections with a secret ballot are so fundamental to our freedom that every effort must be made to preserve them.
