Don't forget the programmer who just came out and spoke about how he was hired to rig the voting

Since shortly after election day, progressive blogs have been filled with reports of voter intimidation and allegations of fraud, but not until recently have any individuals come forth with such compelling information. Curtis has apparently been in touch with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. Curtis' congressional affidavit contains the following claims:
In the vote fraud prototype that I created things are not what they seem. Hidden on the screen are invisible buttons. A person with knowledge of the locations of those invisible buttons can then use them to alter the votes of everyone before them. By clicking the correct order of invisible buttons the candidate selected by the user is compared to other candidates within that same race. If the candidate they selected is leading the race nothing happens. If the other candidate is leading the race the vote totals are altered so that the selected candidate is now leading the race with 51% of the vote. The other candidates then share the remaining 49% in exact proportion to the totals they had previously. In the prototype supplied to Feeney the vote totals show on the screen. In an actual application the user would receive no visible clues to the fraud that had just occurred. Since the vote is applied by race, any single race or multiple races can be altered. The supervisors or any other voter would never notice this fraud since no visible sign would appear. Additionally, the procedure could be repeated as many times as was necessary to achieve the desired results. No amount of testing or simulations would expose the fraud as its activation and process is completely invisible to everyone except the person programming the vote fraud routine.
The same procedure could be automated to activate without any user intervention whenever the machine detects a certain pattern of voting. The algorithm could also be altered from hidden keys or triggers that would allow the fraudulent user to manipulate both the margins and percentages of any particular race. In most national elections it is not necessary to win every area.

Curtis' affidavit goes on to say that Yang Enterprises, his former employer, later informed him that the software might be used to 'control the vote in South Florida'. Yang Enterprises is currently under investigation by the FBI.
Curtis states he initially believed that Feeney sought to stop Democrats from using such a program and 'wanted to be able to detect and prevent that if it occurred.' It was not until after the prototype was delivered that Curtis learned of a possible other motive for its development and use.
These sensational allegations are just starting to be made publicly known 24 hours after Ohio's vote was certified by its Republican Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell and will probably add momentum to the multiple requests for recounts in that hotly contested state.
