URGENT: Tell FL Officials to Stand With ION SANCHO!!
PLEASE VOTE THIS UP!!! Action must be taken by tomorrow, Sunday, March 12th!!!

Tell Florida Officials to Stand With Ion Sancho!

Ion Sancho needs our help!! Florida officials are attacking this courageous Supervisor of Elections for trying to protect the integrity of our vote. Please click on this link to send an email to Florida officials, protesting their outrageous treatment of this courageous Supervisor of Elections. http://www.votetrustusa.org/supportsancho.html

* Note: If you use a browser-based email reader, the links on this page will not work for you. Instead, copy and paste the text of the letter below and send it to the following email addresses: secretaryofstate@dos.state.fl.us, jeb.bush@myflorida.com, jnash@dos.state.fl.us, dkroberts@dos.state.fl.us, ion@leoncountyfl.gov, proctorb@leoncountyfl.gov, rackleffhsd@earthlink.net, saulsj@leoncountyfl.gov, cliff@leoncountyfl.gov, depuye@leoncountyfl.gov, grippat@leoncountyfl.gov, danw@leoncountyfl.gov

In 2005, Supervisor Sancho authorized security tests of the Diebold voting system used in Leon County, Florida. These tests definitively proved election results could be altered without detection using only a memory card. A team of California computer scientists have sinced confirmed the Leon County tests and discovered additional severe security flaws in the Diebold system. http://www.votetrustusa.org/supportsancho.html

Instead of thanking Sancho for exposing flaws that should have been discovered by state and federal certifiers, state officials are threatening Sancho with legal action, which could include removing him from office. Instead of hailing him as a national hero, state officials have condemned and threatened him. On top of that, the only three companies with Florida certified voting systems (Diebold, ES&S and Sequoia) have blacklisted Sancho and are refusing to sell their voting machines to Sancho, either in retribution for exposing serious security vulnerabilities in the Diebold voting system, or out of fear that he will find similar flaws in their systems. As a result of the Sancho now has no voting system in place. http://www.votetrustusa.org/supportsancho.html

Instead of demanding that these companies sell their state-certified systems to Leon County, state officials seem more concerned about protecting the vendors than about protecting the sanctity of our vote. To read more about Sancho's actions and his current predicament, look at these articles in the Miami Herald and VoteTrustUSA. http://www.votetrustusa.org/supportsancho.html

Do not delay! Florida's Department of State is demanding a meeting with Sancho on Monday, March 13. Click Here to Send the Letter NOW! http://www.votetrustusa.org/supportsancho.html

Thank your for supporting this courageous public servant!
