2. Judge Hart Rules: TRMPAC Broke the Law- Delay Link suggested

Judge Hart Rules: TRMPAC Broke the Law
BY AMY SMITH




An excerpt from a TRMPAC mailer to corporate donors; by law, coporate donations may only be used for overhead.



If last week's court ruling is any indication, the most damning evidence against the Texans for a Republican Majority Political Action Committee was the PAC's own fundraising pitch to corporate donors. In the first of several pending decisions in the multifaceted money-in-politics dispute, state District Judge Joe Hart determined that TRMPAC – created as a state party-building arm of U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay – violated state laws by failing to report more than $600,000 in corporate contributions.

The ruling, in a lawsuit brought by five defeated Democratic candidates, including former Austin state Rep. Ann Kitchen, turned in large measure on a single marketing tool produced in the group's early efforts leading up to the 2002 legislative races. In a fundraising pitch to potential corporate donors, TRMPAC promised that their dollars would go directly toward financing GOP campaign activity – "rather than just paying for overhead" – that is, administrative expenses.

Shortly after the election, then Speaker-elect Tom Craddick, whose rise to power was contingent on the success of TRMPAC, helped drive home the plaintiffs' case with his post-election thank-you letter to corporate donors. The speaker cheerfully noted that he and TRMPAC "lived up to our commitment not to use one cent of your personal contribution to cover administrative expenses." (Craddick is also at the center of a criminal investigation into TRMPAC's use of corporate dollars, but has not been indicted.)

Under Texas law, as it happens, covering administrative expenses is the only thing groups like TRMPAC are allowed to do with corporate (or union) money. Instead, TRMPAC had sought to apply a broad definition of "administrative expenses" to include fundraising, polling, meetings with candidates, direct mail, and political conferences. The group had also argued that there was no direct evidence that corporate donors contributed to TRMPAC with the "intent" of that money going toward illegal campaign activities. But here Hart drew from the PAC's own mission statement and other material to find, as he states, "overwhelming evidence from which the intent of the donors to TRMPAC can be fairly and reasonably inferred."

The judge set only modest damages, however, ordering TRMPAC treasurer Bill Ceverha to pay $196,600 to the five Democratic plaintiffs – including Kitchen – who lost to TRMPAC-backed candidates. Ceverha will appeal the ruling.

The plaintiffs' legal team – Joe Crews, Cris Feldman, and Dave Richards – built much of their case on a collection of TRMPAC letters, e-mails, and other documents designed to pull in six- and seven-figure contributions from some of the state's largest industry players. On the whole, the evidence provides a grim example of just how much influence corporate powerhouses can have on potential legislation. Note the e-mail exchange between Washington, D.C., fundraiser Warren Robold (one of three indicted in the criminal case against TRMPAC) and lobbyist Drew Maloney, DeLay's former chief of staff. Robold asks for potential corporate TRMPAC donors "with asbestos problems"; Maloney lists Dow Chemical, Owens-Illinois, and Halliburton. (Maloney also notes that he's collected "two checks from Reliant ," and "ill deliver to TD next week." Presumably, "TD" is Tom DeLay, who continues to insist publicly that he had little or nothing to do with TRMPAC.)

3. Spare Change? You better start saving those pennies

Spare Change?
You better start saving those pennies

by Alan Bisbort - June 2, 2005

-snip-

And down there at the bottom of this story, down among the polyps, microbes and mad-cow prions, resides a rare-coin dealer in Toledo named Tom Noe. Noe was, yes, one of the top fund-raisers in Ohio for the Bush reelection campaign. He was what Bush-Cheney folks call a "pioneer," meaning he raised up to $250,000 for their efforts toward permanent war and deficits. Ohio is the state, you may recall, where Wally O'Dell, another valued Republican "pioneer," lives. O'Dell was the man who wrote to the RNC, prior to the election, that "I am committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year."

O'Dell made good on that commitment. O'Dell owns and operates Diebold, the company that makes touch-screen voting machines, the ones without a paper trail, the ones that have proven to be susceptible to hacking and fraud, the ones that will eventually be installed in every American voting precinct to assure that all election results will be open to debate and that in the future you will hear variations on the following: "oh, so sorry, your candidate lost to the Republican again ... and it was so close, well, nice try, see you in four years ..."

You may also recall that there was a bit of a dustup last November over voting discrepancies in Ohio, the state's tainted electoral votes being nonetheless awarded to Bush, putting him over the "reelection" hump. The decision to invest in rare coins and to give money to Noe was approved by Ken Blackwell, Ohio's secretary of state and the man responsible for signing off on the vote count, despite pending lawsuits. For the full sordid story, see What Went Wrong in Ohio, the new report (with a blistering preface by Gore Vidal) based on official testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI). Conyers will one day be seen as a real hero and patriot for bucking the Republican power brokers and the spineless leadership of his own party to get at the truth.

-snip-

In Ohio, meanwhile, the probe is ongoing, but with a Republican as the prosecuting attorney and Ken Blackwell as secretary of state (and a leading candidate for governor), the truth will never come to light. It's buried somewhere near Saddam's weapons of mass destruction.

Stuff like this makes me think that the Republicans are the real terrorists undermining, dividing and destroying America. It's either a testament to boundless optimism or total ignorance that even 41 percent of Americans still "approve" of the job Bush is doing.

Govt planning new tests on controversial e-voting machines

02/06/2005 - 09:32:58

The Government is reportedly planning further tests on its controversial electronic voting machines in the hope of introducing them at the next General Election.

The machines were used on a trial basis at the last election, but were subsequently withdrawn due to concerns about their secrecy and security.

Reports this morning said the Department of the Environment was now seeking consultants to carry out new security tests and risk assessments in the hope of resurrecting the e-voting plans.

5. NC Paper Ballot Bill stuck in committee

WillYourVoteBeCounted posted this in the NC Forum:

The bills to require a voter verified paper ballot for all NC votes is stuck in the Senate Judiciary I subcommittee.

The only way to have the Public Confidence in Elections Act, bills H 238 and S 223 pass is if legislators know that their constituents want it. If you think we should have voter verified paper ballots, please take a few minutes to send a letter to the editor of a newspaper.

The letters to the editor are often the most widely read section of the newspaper, so please take advantage of this action. We need to get the bills out of committee very soon.

6. Judge to decide voting machine vendor deadline

Judge to decide voting machine vendor deadline

Thursday, June 02, 2005

Associated Press

Columbus- A judge planned to decide today on an agreement to extend the deadlines for selection and certification of voting machine systems for 32 counties that have sued the state's chief elections official.

The counties want a choice of touch-screen electronic voting machines. Currently, only a touch-screen machine made by Diebold Election Systems has met federal and state certification requirements.

Election Systems & Software last month filed a lawsuit to stop Secretary of State Ken Blackwell from enforcing his directive that systems be certified by May 13. The company claims Blackwell's certification deadlines were unfair; Blackwell says all vendors were treated equally.

The two parties have been in discussions, along with the counties that joined the lawsuit, but no agreement on the core issues of the case has been reached.

On Wednesday, Blackwell's office and the counties agreed to temporarily extend the deadline for selecting vendors to Sept. 15 and for certification to Nov. 1, pending agreement on other issues in the case, Blackwell spokesman Carlo LoParo said.

7. Chicago OKs new voting machines

Chicago OKs new voting machines
City equipment will be same as Cook County's

Thursday, June 2, 2005

By Steve Patterson
Special to the Daily Southtown


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A $50 million overhaul to Chicago and Cook County voting systems is set to begin.
The Chicago Board of Elections voted Wednesday to contract with Sequoia Voting Systems to provide new touch-screen and optical scan voting machines for city voters.

The same machines, provided by the same vendor, were recommended for approval last week by Cook County Clerk David Orr and will be voted upon by the county board later this summer.

All machines, per the federal Help America Vote Act, must be in place for the 2006 primaries, and are paid for by federal funds.

Chicago Board of Elections chairman Langdon Neal said while "the old punch-card system is gone," voters will still rely upon "a paper-based system" to vote.

County, city opt for past in ballots

Chicago Tribune

Tribune staff reporters Laurie Cohen and Dan Mihalopoulos contributed to this report

Published June 2, 2005

The notorious punch-card ballot--and its hanging, dimpled and pregnant chads--will be a relic of the past in Chicago and suburban Cook County by early 2006 following the expected approval of more than $50 million in new voting equipment.

Chicago election officials Wednesday selected California-based Sequoia Voting Systems to provide touch screen and optical scan equipment for each of the city's more than 2,700 precincts, a contract expected to be worth about $28million.

Late last week, Cook County Clerk David Orr also recommended Sequoia, although a final decision is still needed by the Board of Commissioners. That contract would provide equipment for more than 2,400 precincts at an estimated cost of $23.8 million...

*snip*

"We are surprised that the city and county would move toward a technology that dates back to the mid-1980s," said David Bear, a spokesman for Ohio-based Diebold Inc., a finalist.

*snip*

"We think the technology is very, very sound," said Robert Saar, executive director of the DuPage County Election Commission. "It's proven technology."

County, city opt for past in ballots

By John McCormick, Tribune staff reporter. Tribune staff reporters Laurie Cohen and Dan Mihalopoulos contributed to this report
Published June 2, 2005

The notorious punch-card ballot--and its hanging, dimpled and pregnant chads--will be a relic of the past in Chicago and suburban Cook County by early 2006 following the expected approval of more than $50 million in new voting equipment.

>>>snip


The dual approach is one way to meet a 2006 federal requirement to provide unassisted voting to the disabled, while not fully embracing electronic voting and the security and reliability hazards some say it presents.

Some potential vendors were disgruntled by the decision after competing for more than a year.

"We are surprised that the city and county would move toward a technology that dates back to the mid-1980s," said David Bear, a spokesman for Ohio-based Diebold Inc., a finalist.

"It will be much more expensive to print ballots than with more modern technologies."

Representatives from Sequoia, meanwhile, said they planned to open a Chicago office to help with the transition.

City and county officials say the federal government, through the Help America Vote Act, will pay for almost all the cost associated with the new equipment.

More than half of the state's counties already use optical scan voting, a process that is similar to taking a standardized test. Voters mark ballots with a pencil or pen, then feed them into a scanner that counts them. The machines reject ballots if they have not been filled out correctly.

Chicago voters have used punch-card ballots since 1982, while those in suburban Cook County have used them since 1976, election officials said.

The experience with punch card ballots has been less than stellar here and elsewhere. More than 120,000 Cook County voters in 2000 failed to register a choice for president or rendered their choice unusable by piercing holes next to names of two or more candidates.

The ballot style came under intense scrutiny in 2000, as the nation watched controversial recounts in Florida counties that ended up with George W. Bush in the White House after a Supreme Court ruling.

Attorney: Kilgores' mother should resign

State police are investigating allegations of absentee voting abuse in a local election last May. The lawyer says Willie Mae Kilgore should resign as registrar. Attorney's letter | Story background


By Laurence Hammack
981-3239
The Roanoke Times

As the mother of twins running for governor and state legislator, and as the head of a registrar's office tainted by allegations of election fraud, Willie Mae Kilgore found herself in a political hot seat Wednesday.

Kilgore should resign as Scott County registrar "to avoid the appearance of impropriety," attorney Gerald Gray wrote in a letter to the registrar.

Gray represents Rex McCarty, who is seeking the House of Delegates seat held by Kilgore's son Terry. As Terry Kilgore, R-Scott County, seeks re-election in November, twin brother and former Attorney General Jerry Kilgore will probably be the Republican candidate for governor.

"I know that you are very proud of them, and want to help them win their elections in any way you can," Gray wrote in a letter to Willie Mae Kilgore dated Wednesday. "However, your position as voter registrar requires that you be completely impartial in the performance of your duties."

10. Judge skewers election office

Judge skewers election office
Best insight yet into his mindset

KENNETH P. VOGEL; The News Tribune
Last updated: June 2nd, 2005 07:57 AM


WENATCHEE – Last month, Judge John Bridges ruled that election worker errors weren’t enough to overturn Democrat Christine Gregoire’s victory in the 2004 governor’s election.
But Wednesday, he made it clear he’s not pleased with the election bungling that went on in King County.

With one question of King County elections director Dean Logan, Bridges offered the most telling glimpse of his take on the errors in Gregoire’s stronghold, King County, since he began hearing the Republican lawsuit seeking to annul the election.

“When I was in the Army, I think the phrase was ‘taking names and’ – I guess, for your benefit – ‘kicking tush,’” Bridges told Logan. “Is there any sense of urgency in King County about fixing some of these problems?”

Logan, after explaining he didn’t like to use the word “fixing” in describing elections, said his department has been working to address election problems “for a long time.”

The GOP lawsuit has brought more issues to light, Logan conceded.

“And I can assure you that there are steps being taken right now to address those issues,” Logan told the Chelan County Superior Court judge.

The exchange highlighted a day that also saw some of the trial’s most cantankerous debate over a formula that the GOP wants to use to subtract illegal votes from the tallies of Gregoire and Republican Dino Rossi.

Whether or not Bridges was satisfied with Logan’s answer, he had ruled May 2 that no amount of errors could persuade him to overturn the election unless Republicans could also prove illegal votes or fraud swung the election.

11. Mistakes were unintentional, state elections director says

Mistakes were unintentional, state elections director says

By Associated Press
Jun 01, 2005 - 08:22:27 am PDT

WENATCHEE -- The state elections director testified Tuesday he believes the problems in Washington's disputed 2004 governor's election were innocent mistakes. Outside court, a GOP attorney accused him of a cover-up.

"I saw inadvertent mistakes and errors of human beings who were working their hearts out," Nick Handy, a top official in the secretary of state's office, said in the election challenge trial.

Attorneys for the state Democratic Party questioned Handy as they defended Gov. Christine Gregoire's 129-vote victory. Last week, GOP attorneys argued that illegal votes, election officials' errors and fraud stole the election from Republican Dino Rossi.

Republicans want Chelan County Superior Court Judge John Bridges to invalidate the gubernatorial election, prompting a rematch between Gregoire and Rossi. Bridges is expected to rule on Friday, though both sides say they will appeal to the state Supreme Court if they lose.

12. Expert says GOP's solution for illegal votes 'just doesn't work'

Expert says GOP's solution for illegal votes 'just doesn't work'

By GREGORY ROBERTS
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER

WENATCHEE -- The Republican proposal for subtracting illegal votes in the 2004 governor's race simply doesn't work, an expert witness for the Democrats testified yesterday in the GOP's legal challenge to the election.

Meanwhile, Republicans took heart yesterday when the judge in the case pressed the King County elections director on his commitment to cleaning up his department.

The testimony of each witness touched on a separate tactic in the Republican's two-pronged strategy to overturn the election, in which Democrat Christine Gregoire defeated Republican Dino Rossi by 129 votes after a hand recount of more than 2.8 million ballots. The trial over the election is in its second and final week in Chelan County Superior Court.

The GOP hopes to win the case in either of two ways: Convincing Judge John Bridges to deduct invalid votes from the candidates' totals in proportion to the percentage of the overall vote each candidate received in the affected precincts and persuading Bridges that the vote-counting was so riddled with errors or tainted by misconduct - especially in King County - that the results should be thrown out. The Republicans presented their case last week.

13. Call center opens to support voter registration software

Call center opens to support voter registration software

Published: June 1, 2005

By MIKE FERGUSON
Of the Baker City Herald

A new call center with a very select clientele — county clerks and election officials in six states — opened in the Baker Tower this morning.

Seated in front of computer screens and telephones, four agents who work for Chaves Consulting have been hired to take phone calls from election officials in Oregon, Montana, Missouri, Iowa, Mississippi and Maryland.

The four new agents are there to answer questions about election software developed to help protect against Florida-style election problems. Chaves' Baker City firm was selected by Saber Engineering, the Salem-based developer of the software, to support the new software as it's implemented first in Oregon, then in the five other states.

"The eyes of Oregon are on Union and Lane counties," says Richard Chaves, who owns Chaves Consulting, of Oregon's two pilot counties. "And the eyes of the nation will soon be on Oregon."

While we're working on democracy over there, we've got a little work on democracy to do over here. (Standing ovation) You know, I don't know about you, but I've seen about enough of vote challengers and vote protectors. You know, it is an outrage that in America, in America, any voter should have reason to doubt their vote. So here's a new idea. How about if we actually build the best election system money can buy so that the next time you choose the leader of the free world you don't have any doubt that when you go to the polls you're going to be able to vote, you gonna to be able to vote quickly, and you have absolutely no doubt that your vote was counted in the election.

16. (OH) Montgomery hires 2 firms to audit rare-coin investment

Montgomery hires 2 firms to audit rare-coin investment

By STEVE EDER and JAMES DREW
BLADE STAFF WRITERS

Article published Thursday, June 2, 2005

COLUMBUS - State Auditor Betty Montgomery announced the hiring of two forensic accounting firms yesterday to conduct the special audit of the state's $50 million rare-coin investment. Crowe Chizek and Company LLC will execute forensic accounting of the actual fund inventory and will work with Sotheby's, an auction house, which has agreed to appraise the venture's assets.

A second firm, Clark, Schaefer, Hackett & Co., was hired to review management practices at the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation, which contracted with Tom Noe to invest in coins for the state.

Mr. Noe's lawyers told authorities last week that at least $10 million of the state's assets were missing. The coin deal is also the subject of multiple federal and state investigations. Ms. Montgomery said she appointed the two firms to "try to allay any complaints or concerns that this audit won't be done appropriately and according to standards." "I've said to them, 'Here's my mission. Follow the money, find out where there's laundering,' " she said.

Crowe Chizek and Company has a fraud practice within its forensic group, and Clark, Schaefer, and Hackett has ample experience in reviewing practices of public and private pension funds, the auditor said. Ms. Montgomery, who has been criticized for waiting too long to initiate an audit of the coin funds, said she began communicating with state Inspector General Tom Charles, who is also investigating, on April 6. The Blade first reported on the coin fund on April 3.

18. CPSR on "Friend of Court" Brief in Florida Voting Case

CPSR on "Friend of Court" Brief in Florida Voting case

Created by enilsson
Last modified May 14, 2005 06:30 AM

"CPSR and several other organizations submitted a Friend of the Court brief in the "Wexler" case, an important Florida court case regarding electronic voting machines.

In an effort led by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, CPSR and several other organizations submitted a Friend of the Court brief in the "Wexler" case. Florida Congressman Robert Wexler and others sued the Florida Secretary of State and the Palm Beach and Indian River County Supervisors of Elections in Federal Court. Wexler alleged that electronic voting machines used in Florida violate the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution, because the machines do not permit a meaningful recount for close elections. (These machines are also known as Direct Recording Electronic or "DRE" voting machines.)

Voters who are forced to use electronic voting machines have less care taken in the integrity of their vote in close elections, thus raising a constitutional issue. When this case was heard last fall, CPSR participated in a Friend of the Court Brief.

Unfortunately, the court found for the defendants, and against Wexler and the other plaintiffs. The plaintiffs appealed, so CPSR recently participated in a second Friend of the Court brief. The final words of the brief are: "... advancing technology creates no waiver to Constitutional and statutory safeguards. The Florida Election Code requires that manual recounts be performed in close elections, a capacity that is lacking from the first generation of DREs but existing in both current versions of DREs and in various other modern voting technologies currently available. Amici respectfully request that this honorable Court reverse the decision of the trial court."
