Mark Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Some comments on the above video, entitled “NH: Paul supporters out in force for primary recount.”It gives the impression that the recount is about Ron Paul. He didn’t request this recount, and it’s about a fair election not any particular candidate.At first I was annoyed Scanlan was given so much time, but maybe your footage will make good evidence in a trial. People in Ohio went to jail for what they did in 2004.Your video gives the impression that, except for the vault business, everything is hunky-dory. No mention of the joke “seals,” slit boxes, a former convicted felon in charge, etc.. At least your narration did utter “Black Box Voting dot Org” so interested viewers can look it up.

RidleyReport Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 Thanks Mark. I miss things all the time especially on the first pass at a story. And I rely on viewers to help me fill in the blanks. Since I'll likely be continuing to cover this, I can hopefully take your concerns into one or more of the future reports on this.

RidleyReport Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 Today's update... Paul activist: NH recount moving into juicier ballots Dan Stewart is a "Recount Junkie," a Paul activist heavily involved in the controversial New Hampshire Primary recount. He says the NH Secretary of State's office has been picking and choosing what gets counted first, and that may mean the more interesting ballots are just now coming under scrutiny. Also in this report: What are the potential positive results that could come from this recount and the heavy scrutiny it has placed on the state's ballot process? And who really controls the ballots? Dan gives us his take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidleyReport Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 who is the convicted felon in charge and how do i verify that information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 There are two felons involved. Ken Hajjar, convicted of cocaine distribution and now a New Hampshire’s voting machine programming executive, and John Elder, convicted of narcotics trafficking, who then ran the Diebold ballot printing plant and is now an elections consultant. About eighty percent of the NH votes were on Diebold machines. The following two excerpts are by Bev Harris of Black Box Voting:CONVICTED FELONS The Diebold ballot printing plant at the time we got records on the overages, was being run by a convicted felon who had spent four years in prison on a narcotics trafficking charge. No, not New Hampshire’s voting machine programming exec Ken Hajjar, who cut a plea deal in 1990 for his role in cocaine distribution. This was another convicted felon, John Elder, who ran the Diebold ballot printing plant; he’s now an elections consultant. We have so far been unable to learn whether New Hampshire has convicted felons printing their ballots; ......[There is] evidence that one state-paid printing vendor is NHCI -- New Hampshire Correctional Industries, a prison-based printing outfit. New Hampshire Correctional Industries is a job training program for inmates. After they get out of prison they have a skill! I’m not sure we want a bunch of ex-convicts running around in New Hampshire with ballot printing expertise, so I hope a different ballot printing vendor will show up. New England voting machine firm has executive criminal recordThey program every single voting machine in New Hampshire, Connecticut, almost all of Massachusetts, Vermont, and Maine. But did state officials in five New England states ever do a criminal background check on this company’s executives? Do the laws of these five states even ALLOW them to hire convicted criminals for services paid for by the state? What about over 500 local towns and municipalities? According to my sources, LHS Marketing and Sales Director Ken Hajjar grew up with owner John Silvestro in Lawrence, Massachusetts. They both moved to Londonderry, New Hampshire, where Ken Hajjar was arrested, indicted, and pleaded guilty to “sale / CND” and sentenced to 12 months in the Rockingham County Correctional facility, and fined $2000. As things go for the politically connected, he was then given a deferred sentence and $1000 of his fine was suspended. [Photostat of “The defendant is sentenced to the RCHC for not more than 12 months. Commitment is deferred for a period of 1 year. ...”]Hajjar doesn’t limit his involvement in the voting machine business to sales. According to an interview conducted by Dori Smith, as reported here: http://www.bradblog.com/?p=5320 , Hajjar totes memory cards around in the trunk of his car and defends the boggling concept of swapping out memory cards during the middle of elections. Hold onto your hats, there’s more.

RidleyReport Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 This is interesting stuff about the felons although in and of itself drug trafficking does not make a person evil or a threat.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
