Wow! That is EXACTLY what happened to me just last night. I was astonished by some of the things she had stated in a series of articles she had written, and I pointed them out, only to discover postings from her today claiming I am a "disruptor" and that my IP address was in a different location than I claimed to be in and that I provided "false identifying information." And apparently I did it all to "distract her from the real issue" which was apparently "reviewing some documents on NH and ID today." (I'm dumbfounded!)

I have never in my life seen someone act in such a childish manner. My only response to her (by email, since she blocked me) was that she obviously could not handle any criticism whatsoever and that she should have emailed me to get the facts straight before she assumed the worst. (No response from her of course!)

Had she emailed me, she would have learned that my ISP is Sprint/Nextel through a wireless broadband card, so if the IP routes to some other location, that's completely outside of my control! I use a broadband card when I am away from the office. And I did not provide any false identifying information; the only thing I refused to do in the sign up form was to provide my mailing address!

I am so glad to learn that I am not the only person this has happened to. I'm really quite upset by what happened, because I am currently doing a research paper on Black Box Voting. I've long known about the .COM site. I am a programmer; I started when I was only eleven years old, I'm thirty now. And I remember years ago when this site was talking about the Diebold coding using a Microsoft Access backend database. I was astonished!

I had been struggling to come up with a research topic for one of my university classes, when I saw the HBO special, and I immediately decided to settle on the topic of vote tampering using electronic voting machines, which led me to the .com site, and then the .org site.

How much of a disruptor can I be when my position on the subject is a supportive one to both sites? She lost an ally; really quite sad...

This cartoon is very cute in a scary way. I think we are traveling down this road but when it is implemented it will be very secure and easy to vote.

John Dean: Florida officials warned about BBV problems, but chose to ignore warning

So it was all "the people's" fault. ES&S was the good guy? lol

Wow David, must be rough these days for a phony election activist such as yourself.

Choicepoint funding, pro-DREs, pro-ES&S stance, PLUS you didn't donate even a penny to Steve Heller.

Let me repeat that - with additional emphasis:

BLACKBOXVOTING.ORG (BEV HARRIS) DONATED $10,000 TO STEVE HELLER.

BLACKBOXVOTING.COM (DAVID ALLEN) DID NOT DONATE EVEN ONE PENNY.

Yea David, after all your lies and libel and crap and using Andy as a shield to cover your ass, and all the other crap you've been up to the past 3 1/2 years, it's all coming unglued now.

Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas Docket number: CP-39-CR-0005210-2006

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania vs. Michael Charles Young

is scheduled for trial on 23 July 2007.

The charges have been reduced to Misdemeanor.

The Lawyer who has handled the case to this point has indicated he will not represent it a trial.

A legal team including court-admissible experts on voting machine hardware, software, and exit polling is desired.

There is little money to pay for this.

Since my psychological state is, apparently, in question and the court warns it will be considered an issue at trial; those who would help are advised to look over the following websites before committing to do so.

I am a conservative that was left by the Republican party and neo-cons. I am now a member of the Constitution Party. While I may not agree with most Democrats on most issues, I think that this kind of underhanded tactic ought to be prosecuted and those responsible should be thrown away in prison for a very, very, long time as traitors to the Constitution.

Murdock: WAPO: Vote BY Mail "proven to be fraud-free"

you wrote: "...could it be that those same voters who didn't care enough to vote before, who don't watch or read the news, who don't participate in our government - those same "no shows" found that their ballot was worth something to them - maybe a pair of jeans, or $50.00 or a bottle of liquor or a 6 pack of beer?"

- what in the world are you talking about? you think political parties are giving gift vouchers and whiskey to sway voters? please explain, because that's a bit absurd.

It is really sad when the way forward out of this mess is to just go back to the way it was. Makes you wonder if humans should be the dominant species on the planet.
