Computer-security expert says voting machines can't be trusted

Scott Spoonamore, a cyber-security expert who helped Ohio attorneys detail their case for how the GOP stole the 2004 presidential election, did an interview in 2006 that until now hasn't seen the light of day. Reporters apparently killed the story, but investigative journalists at Velvet Revolution got their hands on the tape and aired it on Youtube the other day.

In the video, Spoonamore says that Diebold provides no where near the type of transparency for its voting systems as it does for Diebold ATM machines. There's more security, in esssence, for dispensing a 20-dollar-bill than your vote. Mmmm. I wonder why.

Spoonamore has helped Ohio attorneys Cliff Arnebeck and Mike Fritakis pinpoint Karl Rove and his alleged henchman, Mike Connell, as the key culprits in rigging the Ohio 2004 election. Ohio officials reportedly outsourced the job of tallying the Ohio election results to Connell's firm at the same time that he was running a Bush/Cheney Web site from the same servers in the basement of a Chattanooga, Tennessee former bank building. Connell also built the firewalls for Congress and now works for John McCain.
