2. After a cursory examination I bookmarked it:
In my "Heavy Shit" folder.

Good stuff there. I wonder where the beautimous Eloriel is? I am sure she would find this interesting.

3. Need someone who know the tech specifics about voting machines
Some of this stuff is just too much of a coincidence!
CCITriad brought me to this site:
http://www.aheartsease.com/html/links.php?/Computers/Software/Consultants/
And from there: http://www.whelpley.com/
On that site:
John Whelpley has been the source for Triad Ultimate information on the internet for nearly 10 years.

John Whelpley's CCI Triad Ultimate site provides Triad ( Activant ) users and potential users with non-technical information about the services provided by John Whelpley and associates.

Triad Menus, BP's, PROKs, RECALL statements, ULT-PLUS dictionary samples are some of the more technical information available.

There are also graphic descriptions of Whelpley's EDI modules. These programs can be used with any avaiable communications mode available on the Triad Ultimate system.

5. Tod Rap-CEO of Psephos-Psephology:the study of voting patterns
Rap is also of course, the founder of Triad GSI
http://www.democraticunderground.com/demopedia/index.php/Triad_GSI
http://ignorantusa.tripod.com/triad/

Psephology is the predictive or statistical study of elections. (From the ancient Greek psephos, 'pebble', which the Greeks used as ballots.)

Psephology: the study of voting patterns comes from the Greek word psephos, meaning pebble. In their ancient democracy, Athenians voted by casting pebbles into an urn.

Psephology is possible for a variety of reasons: the compilation of precinct voting returns for all elections going back many years, the publication of numerous public opinion polls asking similar questions on many different dates, and the public availability of campaign finance information. As a result of all these, and other factors, there are fewer and fewer election result surprises over time.

7. John Wheepley and Associates is CCI Triad
Wheepley just retired in St. Petersburg, FL-imagine that!
Website says he is a Republican.

Our Triad Ultimate Pricing:
Our terms are simple. When we complete the project we'll send you a bill.

Standard Per Hour Rate............128.50
GSA or Local Gvt Prepaid Rate.....75.00

We won't expect you to pay us unless we did a good job for you. We won't expect you to pay us anything in advance. Not even expenses. You will always know in advance what we are going to cost and what to expect from what we do for you. We're so confident you will like what we did for you we'll guarantee it. If we didn't do a good job for you, tell us. No questions asked. We'll cancel the bill and apologize for our screw-up.

We expect you to pay us on receipt of our bill. If you wait more than 10 days to pay us, the rate goes up.We don't have an accounts receivable and never will. If you don't pay us, and don't tell us why, thats ok too. We'll assume we did something wrong and not bother you in the future.
