BREAKING: Federal Judge Compels GOP 'IT Guru' Mike Connell To Give Deposition in Ohio '04 Election Case
Contentious Hearing Today Results in Order For Republican 'High-Tech Forrest Gump' to Testify Under Oath on Monday
Appearance to Answer Questions on 2004 Election Scheduled Just 24 Hours Prior to Election 2006...

The Republican IT guru, recently described as a "high tech Forrest Gump" for his proclivity to be "at the scene" of so many troubling elections since 2000, and even at the heart of the "lost" White House email scandal, has been ordered by a federal judge to appear for an under-oath deposition next Monday in Ohio.

The BRAD BLOG has learned that Mike Connell, the Republican IT guru whose company, SmarTech Inc. created Ohio's 2004 election results computer network appeared in federal court today, as compelled, and has been ordered to appear for his deposition on Monday, November 3, just 24 hours before Election Day 2008.

Today's court order came after a contentious hearing, at which Connell was present. The hearing was part of a long-standing voting rights violations lawsuit, King Lincoln v. Blackwell, as previously covered by The BRAD BLOG and by Velvet Revolution's Election Protection Strike Force here and here.

2. I wish it had come earlier

Not going to help anything for this year, they have probably already done their worst.

Still, good news and good that we get these people and their tactics exposed and convicted.

4. Yeah It's come late... but it will get press in Ohio before the election.

5. I hope it hits the Front page of the major

dailies but unless something comes out of the deposition it will probably only be in the back of the "metro" sections.

Even if something leaks it won't hit till Tuesday!

6. And we can hope that individuals complicit in election fraud will opt to rat on the higher-ups.
