Oh wow, very cool Thanks everyone for all the flags. It is important people see this.

And bug, appreciate the videos, but for future reference, I think the site prefers you describe a touch of what each video is about above it so people know what they are clicking on. But yep, that's Spoonamore laying it down. He gets a bit wishy washy from time to time, but his info is illuminating on some lesser known but critical issues with the voting process, machines, and where the threats are.

VR Offers $100,000 Reward For Information About Michael Connell’s Election Manipulations

Today, VR offered a $100,000 reward for information from whistleblowers who have knowledge of election related criminal activity by Michael Connell, Randy Cole, Karl Rove and others. The full ad will be published this week in the Akron newspapers and you can see it here. The information must result in a conviction.

These guys at VR are putting their money where their mouth is. You guys want a conviction? Then maybe it's time to show VR some support. They are DOING it.

There is a distinction between electronic voting machines, which most every news story has been about, and electronic tabulation machines, which even experts in the field gloss over (I know, I've asked).

At the 'garage and church' level, voting machines collect votes, consolidate them in a form that can be centrally reported, usually on a county-by-county basis.

This reporting is via unsecure transmission, over unsecure networks. The machines that total the collected results, hidden from the public, are un-vetted. These results are then consolidated and reported to the state-level.

Where's the audit trail? Nowhere, that I can see.

Yippe!

Rawstory has picked up the 100,000 reward story!

A non-profit organization has offered a $100,000 reward to anyone who can supply information tying Republican strategist Karl Rove and computer expert Michael Connell to illegally manipulated elections, according to a Friday press release.

The group is called Velvet Revolution and is looking for evidence of criminal activity and Connell's relationship with Rove.

Citing testimony from another technology expert named Stephen Spoonamore, Velvet Revolution accuses the Republican Party of rigging elections for years by using Connell to exploit electronic voting systems.

Bout time VR saw some press. They sit there in their quiet little site uncovering great stories. But even Rawstory can't compete with the 1,000 active watchdogs ATS has. You saw it here first!
