In reference to your article, E-vote Venders Hand Over Software, I know Scott Konopasek, the Registrar of
Voters in San Bernardino personally. I live in San Bernardino County and have been a witness to how their
system has run as an observer and candidate in several elections.
First of all, San Bernardino county does not have a reputation for skilled, intelligent and uncorruptable officials
so I had some serious concerns when the county hired him in the first place. From personal contact, I can state
Scott Konopasek is one of the best and brightest employees working for San Bernardino County government.
I also believe that he wants to do the right thing in this election for San Bernardino County but I seriously doubt
that National Security concerns and agendas will not dictate the results of elections November 2, 2004 for this
county and the entire country for that matter. This last statement obviously needs an ex.plaination so here goes.
Although not stated publicly, this government has used their role in protecting state secrets from disclosure in
the public sector and foreign governments as a reason to regulate (corrupt) the results of elections in America.
This same agenda is used to finance the subversion of elections by our intelligence community allover the world,
whenever possible, when it promotes our percieved "National Interests". Here is one obvious example where
this authority must be in place.
A foreign power (We will use a wealthy oil producing nation, with questionable loyalties as an example) attempts
to gather strategic intelligence by backing a congressional candidate through front companies and infiltrating
their election staff with intelligence personell. If that candidate gets elected, that well trained intelliegence
officer will have access to intimate knowledge of any projects in that Congressional district, intimate knowledge
of committee research related to committees the congressman may serve on and second source access to most
security issues addressed by the Congress.
The use of examples like the one stated above, gave the existing power structure the security clearances to build
the mechanisms into our electorial system to subvert the election process. Unfortunately, while there are a few
legitimate motives for subverting election results in the name of "National Security" once those mechanisms were
in place corruption and vested interests played a critical role in institutionalizing the process.
What I'm stating here is " The congress, presidents and elected officials will come and go but our intelligence
community, bureaucracies, NGOs and powerful institutions have controlled the process for so long that honest
elections with verifiable and auditable election results are not an acceptable option.
What this means in simple english is that these voting machines are hackable because the power structure has the
option to hack the results if those results threaten their special interests. That the controls placed into the
election process as an institution are more about inappropriate access and obedience to regulated elections than
legitimizing the results. I seriously doubt that Scott Konopasek has the power to effectively attack corruption
associated the electorial process in this county because the strings attached to the process would probably turn
into a rope and hang him if he did.
That being said?. I <lid obtain a copy of the voter disk for this election to see if many of the errors associated with
sloppy data management before Scott came to work in San Benrardino County had been corrected. I am glad to
say that tJte vo~ng disks, this time around appear far more accurate than for past elections. Unfortunately,
Diebold has bought out the company that handled the Database management for San Benrardino County in
January of2001 I have no doubt that this will lead to significant problems on Nov. 2 in the county. The most
accurate assessment of the 2004 election, is simply, BLACK OPS VOTING WITH CIA SOFIW ARE. Of
course, the CIA does not have the power to run this operation own their own, but you can bet your ass that this
2004 election is a nationally networked operation and CIA assets are not on the sidelines.
