VR conducted an explosive new interview with GOP cyber security expert Stephen Spoonamore last week in which he predicted that the 2008 presidential electi on will be stolen in favor of McCain/Palin with a win at 51.2 percent, unless the people involved are exposed and brought to justice. He also states that the optical scan voting systems at the tabulator level constitute a national security threat because now the "genie is out of the bottle" and foreign countries can compete on the best election hack in order to decide who is the next U.S. president. You can watch this extraordinary interview on www.rovecybergate.com and www.velvetrevolution.us . In related news, very important legal developments in the federal case in Ohio will be breaking this week. Please donate to this groundbreaking legal case here.

Our Election Verification Polls
VR is working with a coalition of organizations including Election Defense Alliance
http://electiondefensealliance.org and Election Integrity
http://www.electionintegrity.org/blogengine/ to create the statistical foundation to support the case for a recount in close elections. Dr. Ken Warren, professor at St. Louis University and president of The Warren Poll, Dr. Steven Freeman of the University of Pennsylvania, and Jonathan Simon of Election Defense Alliance have developed a polling methodology to detect vote manipulation in battleground states. This methodology was tested at 20 precincts in Pennsylva nia in 2006 and at seven precincts in the Kentucky primary in 2008. The Kentucky results have been written up in a paper, "The Election Integrity Election Verification Exit Poll: Report on the Kentucky Pilot Project" by Dr. Steven Freeman dated June 30, 2008.
The objective is to conduct an Election Verification Exit Poll at 20-30 locations each in Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania and possibly other states. These results will be rapidly analyzed to be available for election challenges as necessary.
We are at a critical stage in this important effort. The conditions exist for manipulation of the election. It is vital that every vote cast for a candidate is a vote counted for the same candidate. Please donate to this election protection campaign here.
