More Fat Cats Give Money So Mayor Can Select Own Auditor

Sanders did not win this election: the Fat cats bought it RED FLAG 1: Hiring of Deborah Seiler and Micheal Vu from Ohio. RED FLAG 2 We got rid of the Diebold voting machines but bought Diebold optical scanners which are just as prone to hacking. http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0505/S00381.... Deborah Seiler, our registrar of voters was a sales rep for the Diebold company. From North County Times http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2007/08/12/pe... Honest elections create uncertainty in those depending on them for power. To protect Diebold's interest in getting paid and the county's control over elections, look for the board to cut a deal with Diebold whereby the county abandons the touch-screens and buys Diebold's optical scanners at the same price as the more expensive touch-screens." RED FLAG 3 Then: Ms Seiler transfers us from poll counting to centralized counting system. http://www.kpbs.org/news/local;id=11911 "All the paper ballots will have to be brought to the Registrar's office to be counted this year, instead of being counted at the polling places. That's because the Registrar hasn't been able to purchase enough tally machines for every precinct." We havent been able to purchase enough tally machines for every precinct? What? What in the world did we hire you for? RED FLAG 4: In December prior to Feb primary precinct scanner chips went missing.... BLOGGED BY John Gideon ON 12/19/2007 3:31PM San Diego's Diebold Election Software 'Lost In Transit'EPROM Chips Fed-Exed from CA Secretary of State Turn Up Missing, Package Arrives Empty, Police InvestigatingUPDATE: SoS Confirms Precinct-Based Scanner Chips Missing, Two shipping tubes sent from the California Secretary of State's office in Sacramento to the San Diego County Election Office arrived without their contents. The tubes left the SOS Office with more than 174 memory chips, or Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EPROM), containing firmware for the county's Diebold/Premier central-count optical scan voting machines. UPDATE: Precinct-based op-scan chips confirmed by the SoS to be missing as well! RED FLAG 5: All the issues that would suggest vulnerability problems exist here w/ our system including 1. Centralized tabulation 2. Diebold optical scanners 3. A registrar w/ a "bad attitude" (see SD lawsuit against SoS for new voter recount rules) 4. Anomolies w/ election results

Realtors Hold Post-Election Fundraiser To Help Mayor Sanders Pay Back His Debt

Sanders was not elected by the people: Look at the election facts: http://citizensboe.blogspot.com/2007/05/back-to-v… We hired 2 criminals to run the registrar. Deborah Seiler was a sales rep for Diebold and sold us the voting machines. Micheal Vu is also from the Ohio crew that fixed the 04 pres. election: In January, a court convicted two elections workers in that county of illegally rigging the 2004 presidential election recount so they could avoid a more complete review of votes. Vu defended the workers, saying they had followed long-standing procedures and done nothing wrong. We got rid of the DB voting machines but now have Diebold optical scanners and central vote tabulation: a recipe for fraud. The results do not match the polls especially in the city atty race where Goldsmith polled 3 times at about 15% and then scored 32% a few days later in the election.
