STEALING AMERICA: Vote by Vote
Can hackers alter the computers that store voting data? Is it possible to use software that steals votes during any given election? Does this happen almost every election? Do you really think that the press is going to report this type of activity on the news? Is the voting game rigged?
Clint Curtis, a United States computer programmer and ex employee of NASA and ExxonMobil, was asked a question: “So one person putting in bad code in the central tabulation machine could affect thousands and thousands, or tens of thousands of votes?” Curtis answered: “Right.”
Soon after this hearing, Curtis passed a lie detector test given by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
It has been proven that computer hackers can manipulate votes electronically, without leaving a trail. In only a few minutes, a voting machine can be hacked by simply exchanging memory cards. And get this — one master key can be duplicated. Which means every voting precinct could potentially have a key…
A company near Atlanta, Georgia, ChoicePoint, has acted as a private intelligence service to government and industry.

ChoicePoint combined personal data sourced from multiple public and private databases for sale to the government and the private sector. The firm maintained more than 17 billion records of individuals and businesses, which it sold to an estimated 100,000 clients, including 7,000 federal, state and local law enforcement agencies (March 30, 2005 estimates).
ChoicePoint was used to perform consumer and criminal background checks on prospective employees of the Obama administration.
In the aftermath of the vote (2000 presidential election), the owner of DBT Online, ChoicePoint,was accused of cooperating with Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Secretary of State of Florida Katherine Harris, and Florida Elections Unit Chief Clay Roberts, in voter fraud, conspiracy involving the central voter file. It was also accused of having a bias in favor of the Republican Party, for knowingly using inaccurate data, and for racial discrimination.
The allegations charge that 57,700 people (15% of the list), primarily Democrats of African-American and Hispanic descent, were incorrectly listed as felons and thus barred from voting. Reports estimate that 80% of these people would have voted, and that 90% of those who would have voted, would have voted for Al Gore. Other allegations include listing voters as felons for alleged crimes said to have been committed several years in the future. The official (and disputed) margin of victory, in the election, was 537 votes.
ChoicePoint says that it acquired DBT Online after DBT delivered the initial 2000 voter exception list to Florida officials for verification and that it has…”no involvement in any election in any country.” However, ChoicePoint’s acquisition of DBT Online was made public on February 14, 2000 and in May 2000, DBT discovered that approximately 8,000 names were erroneously placed on the exclusion list, so their claim of no involvement does not match the timeline.
On February 16, 2001, DBT Senior Vice-President George Bruder testified before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights that the company had misinformed the Florida Supervisors of Elections regarding the usage of race in compiling the list. Greg Palast concludes, “An African-American felon named Will Whiting might wipe out the registration of an innocent African-American Will Whiting, but not the rights of an innocent Caucasian Will Whiting.” Palast alleges that 80% of the 57,700 people allegedly barred from voting were African-American.
