The Rigged 2004 Election: USA Version
We all know about the ‘Hello Garci’ scandal that rocked our nation, but in The USA, where the voting is automated, they too have had election rigging scandals of their own. What you will see is computer programmer Clinton Curtis at the Ohio hearing regarding the probable rigging of the US elections.
[In 2004], Congress heard sworn testimony from Florida programmer Clint Curtis, who created vote-rigging software in 2000 at the request of Tom Feeny, a Bush Family factotum. Feeny wanted Curtis (a fellow Republican) and his employer, Yang Enterprises, to produce untraceable programs that could “control the vote” as needed, investigator Brad Friedman reported.
Feeny also told Curtis of Bush plans to “suppress the black vote” with “exclusion lists.” This is exactly what happened. BBC investigator Greg Palast has shown that tens of thousands of legitimate African-American voters were deliberately “purged” from the rolls by a private Republican-controlled corporation hired by Florida Governor Jeb Bush. Afterwards, Feeny — who had been Jeb’s running mate in his first gubernatorial campaign — was rewarded for his dutiful service with a plum congressional seat.
In 2002, Raymond Lemme, a Florida state government inspector, took up Curtis’ charges, which included other corruption allegations involving Feeny, Yang Enterprises and a Yang employee charged with peddling military technology to the Chinese. In June 2003, Lemme told Curtis he had “tracked the corruption all the way to the top” and that “the story would break in a few weeks.” On July 1, 2003, Lemme was found dead in a Georgia hotel room, just across the Florida border.
