[Voterescue] VoteRescue Radio: A Change of Plans

[Karen Renick]

/For our 4th of July VoteRescue Radio show, we had hoped to have Vickie 
reporting live from the Festival for Liberty in Sturgis, South Dakota 
and Karen from our studio at Brave New Books in Austin, BUT the stars 
just weren't aligning for us out there in the Dakota Badlands. Because 
cell phone reception turned out to be a bit temperamental, we've decided 
to postpone our report about the June 25th Texas House Elections 
Committee hearing until _next_ Friday, July 11, when Vickie is back in 
Austin.  We sincerely apologize for having to change our broadcasting 
plans at the last moment.

/

/So, this Friday, July 4, 2008,  from 6-8pm CDT, VoteRescue Radio will 
be rebroadcasting our previous interview with  ION SANCHO, the 
Supervisor of Elections in Leon County, Florida. /

Ion made major election integrity news in 2005 when he invited in the 
"Black Box Voting hacking team" (as we call it), including Finnish 
computer scientist Harri Hursti and Dr. Herbert Thompson, to examine the 
Diebold optical scan counters which were being used in his county. This 
was the first time that voting integrity experts had been invited to 
examine real election equipment. What was demonstrated there, and widely 
publicized afterward, was the fact that election results could be hacked 
in minutes by simply switching out the memory card in the machine with 
one containing a live "hacking" program.  This famous hack can be viewed 
in its entirety on the emmy-award nominated HBO documentary, "Hacking 
Democracy" (purchase through www.hackingdemocracy.com 
<http://www.hackingdemocracy.com>) .  A link to the clip of the hack is 
here:

Serving since January 1989, Ion has been reelected four times and is the 
only Supervisor of Elections in Florida without party affiliation.  He 
has devoted special attention to studying voting technologies and 
citizen participation in our electoral system.  Under his administration 
Leon County is now has the highest voter turnout of Florida's 67 
counties.  We'll relay more about Ion's amazing career and experience 
when we introduce him on Friday's show.

We will also have returning guest BOB SCHULZ of We the People 
Foundation, who will complete the details from last week's interview on 
the amazing citizens' action he is orchestrating [for June 30, 2008] to 
present Petitions for Redress of Grievances to Congressional leaders of 
the U.S.; Bob will detail how YOU can help; and tell us about his 
upcoming hunger fast related to this dramatic and important action.

We also welcome back another returning guest, JIM MARCH, to give us an 
update on the recent victory by the Democratic Party of Pima County, 
Arizona.  In the court case which Jim has reported on during a prior 
show, the judge's recent decision will force the county election 
officials to release election data to citizens which will allow them to 
review those records for possible election fraud.
