YOUTUBE VIDEO BRINGS TO FORE AN ALLEGED HUGE POLITICAL SCANDAL

[If you do nothing else today watch this video of sworn testimony by a
computer programmer on his design of software to rig the 2000 Florida
election. The programmer, Clint Curtis, was a staunch Republican at the
time but has since switched and is now running against the man he
accuses on the video: Rep. Tom Feeney of Florida.]

BRAD BLOG - On December 6th, 2004, The Brad Blog published a sworn
affidavit by Florida software programmer Clint Curtis. In his affidavit
and videotaped sworn testimony presented before members of the U.S.
House Judiciary committee, Curtis claims to have been asked by U.S.
Congressman Tom Feeney (R-FL) to design a "vote-rigging software
prototype". This request took place in October 2000 during a meeting at
Yang Enterprises, Inc., a computer consulting firm in Oviedo, Florida.

[The testimony was actually before an informal group of House Democrats,
and was not an official Judiciary Committee hearing - TPR]

Curtis, a life-long Republican up until then, had been a programmer at
YEI, which had several top-secret clearance contracts with the state,
NASA and other government agencies. Curtis' understanding at the time
was that the prototype he was being asked to create (built to the very
precise specifications of Feeney) was to address Feeney's concerns that
the Democrats might attempt to electronically rig the election and
Feeney wanted to know what to look out for in that event. After
informing YEI CEO Mrs. Li-Woan Yang that he would not be able to hide
the vote-flipping routines in the software source-code as Feeney had
requested, Curtis testified that Mrs. Yang informed him that the program
was needed to "rig the vote in South Florida."

At the time of the alleged meeting, Feeney was the incoming Speaker of
the Florida House, and also a registered lobbyist and the general
corporate counsel for YEI. Previously, he had been the running mate of
Jeb Bush during his 1994 unsuccessful first bid for Florida Governor. .
. He eventually ascended to the U.S. Congress and today sits on the
House Judiciary Committee. . .

Curtis also reported in his affidavit and to the Florida State Inspector
General that YEI was employing an illegal Chinese alien by the name of
Hai Lin "Henry" Nee who was inserting "wire-tapping modules" into
sensitive database programs which YEI had built for NASA and other
companies. . .

Tom Feeney has categorically denied all charges made by Curtis and has
refused to comment on the record about any of the allegations beyond
telling MSNBC that "Curtis has defamed a lot of people. . .

After many months and many requests and many challenges from both
critics and Mainstream Media types, The St. Petersburg Times reports
that Clint Curtis took a polygraph test on March 3rd, 2005...and passed.

The lie-detector test, administered by Tim Robinson, the retired chief
polygraph operator for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, found
that Curtis was indeed found to be truthful in all of his responses.

On February 13th, 2006, it was announced that Clint Curtis is planning a
run for the U.S. House of Representatives in Florida's 24th District.

FROM CURTIS' TESTIMONY:

Are there computer programs that can be used to secretly fix elections?

Yes.

How do you know that to be the case?

Because in October of 2000, I wrote a prototype for Congressman Tom
Feeney [R-FL]...

It would rig an election?

It would flip the vote, 51-49. Whoever you wanted it to go to and
whichever race you wanted to win.

And would that program that you designed, be something that elections
officials... could detect?

They'd never see it.

WIKIPEDIA - Clint Curtis (born 1958) is a programmer who worked for Yang
Enterprises in Oviedo, Florida until February 2001. Curtis is notable
chiefly for making a series of "whistleblower" allegations about his
employer YEI and Republican Congressman, Tom Feeney. After leaving YEI,
Curtis worked for the Florida Department of Transportation and currently
resides in Titusville, FL. YEI is a provider of engineering and computer
services to the government and the private sector, and is run by Ms.
Yang. At the time of the alleged incidents, Feeney was simultaneously
YEI's corporate attorney, a registered lobbyist for YEI, and a member of
Florida's House of Representatives. He also maintained his election
office in the YEI building.

At the behest of Rep. Tom Feeney, in September 2000, he was asked to
write a program for a touch screen voting machine that would make it
possible to change the results of an election undetectably. This
technology, explained Curtis, could also be used in any electronic
tabulation machine or scanner. . . West Palm Beach was named as an
intended target, but used punched card ballots in the 2000 elections;
Curtis explained that the software could be used in any electronic
tabulation machine or scanner. . . YEI employed Hai Lin "Henry" Nee, a
Chinese national, to work on a NASA contract. This included large NASA
databases that were downloaded by the owner of the company and passed to
Nee. Nee has since pled guilty to violating export regulations and
received a $100 fine and a 3 year probation after admitting that he sent
missile guidance chips to Beijing over 20 times without the proper
export licenses, a common error.

According to WFTV News, The Tom Feeney Campaign responded by
characterizing Curtis as "crazy," by sending tens of thousands of
mailers throughout his district. WFTV reports, "the mailing features
congressional candidate Clint Curtis's head superimposed on what's
supposed to be the body of Playboy magazine publisher Hugh Heffner. It
went out to 110,000 voters across Central Florida,"

Tom Feeney was quoted as saying the charges are "some of the most
ridiculous, fictional charges you could ever imagine." Mr. Feeney also
states, according to the St. Petersburg Times, "Clint Curtis is the
craziest man in America. Serious times demand serious leaders, and
Curtis is not even in the same solar system as the rest of us. With
tinfoil hats in hand, black helicopters swarming, and purple Martians
landing, this election promises to be more entertaining than Saturday
morning cartoons,"
