FEC Official Condemns Internet Voting
We are now starting a series of e-wires dealing with the
upcoming titanic struggle for the Reform Party nomination
which will culminate in Long Beach, California from Aug 10 to
Aug 13, 2000.
The first phase of the Reform Party struggle will be the “mail in”
ballot / internet voting phase. The letter of intent signed by
Gerald Moan with eballot states that 300,000 paper ballots are
expected, and about 200,000 votes cast over the internet.
Our own Citizens for a Fair Vote Count and the Canadian
based International Voters Coalition have stated for years that
all mail in ballots (including absentee ballots) and all voting
over the internet must be outlawed because they are non-
transparent to public view, unverifiable, and completely open to
fraud and manipulation from many angles.
And now (“Blow me down,” to quote Popeye the Sailor Man), a
Federal Elections Commission (FEC) official has said the
same thing about internet voting. His timely speech, give June
7, 2000 in Maryland before an assembly of Maryland election
officials, was widely under-reported. (We had included a part of
the below article in yesterday’s e-wire.)
These remarks by such a highly placed election official have
particular relevance for the upcoming Reform Party National
Primary, which will be conducted in large part over the internet.
The below article was posted on CNN’s website, but does not
seem to be reachable there now, at least by its original path.
This was the original path:
cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/06/07/
virtual.voting.ap/index.h tml
The article also appeared in numerous papers as it was sent
out over the AP wire service.
Mr. Brent Beleskey, Director of the International Voters
Coalition, who originally called the article to my attention,
called and talked to the man who gave the speech. He reports
that the Federal Election Commission official who made the
remarks, Mr. Bill Kimberling, is a very relaxed man — very
convincing, with a great sense of humor
Here’s the article
The article speaks for itself, especially the phrases "a breeding
ground for fraud" and “a business-driven threat to democracy.”
Mr. Kimberling could hardly make a stronger condemnation of
voting over the internet: “"I don't want to vote over the Internet
and I don't want anyone else to either.”
The phrase “business driven” takes on urgent meaning when
one reflects that the letter of intent signed by Reform Party
Chairman Gerald Moan with eBallot.net Inc. states the the
Reform Party will pay eBallot.net about $950,000 for “counting”
the internet vote and the mail in vote.
There’s apparently a LOT of incentive for companies like
eBallot.net Inc. to push voting over the internet.
But WHY is the Reform Party falling for this unverifiable
farce???
More tomorrow.
