Meeting Notes Touch on Security of White House Email
With 36 days left before Election Day 2008, attorneys representing Mike Connell, a so-called guru of GOP information technology who has been a trusted cyber adviser for the Bush family and various Republican causes, have every reason to delay until after the November election their client standing to testify in what effectively is a modern day, voting version twist to "The 39 Steps," Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 mystery.
The difference this year compared to a time when computers didn't exist, is that instead of the theft relying upon remembering machine parts, its about rerouting and re-tabulating public ballots through an architectural system that allowed partisan operatives to refashion them in a way that favors the Republican candidate, Bush in 2004 and McCain in 2008. The question of whether our system of voting, now dependent upon black-box electronics and privately made voting machines that studies and experts say can never really be verified as secure, is secure is critical.
