In this election year, the most important companies to watch are two you've probably never heard of -- Smartech and Triad.

In the 2004 presidential election, Averbeck worked closely with the late Michael Connell, the CEO of New Media Communications. Connell was Karl Rove's IT guru before his untimely death in a suspicious plane crash. As the FreePress.org has previously reported, then-Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell contracted with Averbeck to provide back-up computer services to report Ohio's official election results.

Ohio Secretary of State's office claimed they were unable to tabulate Ohio's votes within the state in real time because their computers had a supposed "denial of service" attack in the wee hours of the morning after the 2004 Election Day. Vote tabulations were then shifted to the Old Pioneer Bank building in Chattanooga, Tennessee where Averbeck ran his internet service company Smartech.

Averbeck's Airnet Group, Inc., doing business as Smartech, is a key company in the private, well-connected Republican world of electronic election systems. According to Airnet Group's website it is a "...a leading of advanced Internet hosting, network and application solutions for business, delivery services via secure state-of-the-art Internet Data Centers."

Just because Obama won in 2008 doesn't mean that this isn't still a HUGE issue for America. If the real numbers of his victory were to be knowable, the vastness of his landslide would astonish and amaze. This election, like the last one, must be won with margins that make it TO BIG TO STEAL. When there is a contested result, these vaporware voting machines and systems make it clear that our elections have become, in a very real and dangerous way, "Democracy Theater".

2. It's disturbing that this has somehow become a "non-issue" since we were

fortunate enough to have a spectacular victory in '08.

3. Yep, I think it's a sleeping giant. It's way too easy to do fraudulent elections. n/t
