BBV- Bob Ney, HAVA, and HR2239 [View All]

I found a note I had made some time ago.

I have down that the two main authors of HAVA were Bob Ney-R of Ohio, and Steny Hoyer-D of Maryland.

I find it more then curious that Ney is one of the principals blocking Holt's 2239.

Might just be ego, not wanting to admit, like most of Congress, that HAVA was bad legislation. Well intentioned perhaps, but read the doggone thing, it's so tied to special interests it's a rats nest.

Ney, connected to both, also from Ohio, the land of Diebold.

I don't know about Hoyer although the Maryland Diebald debacle is interesting.

We need some background, who is funding these guys, then see if there are ties to the defense industry, Cisco (Sysco? I never get that right) who is behind VoteHere and Senator Ensign of Nevada who had an amendment dealing with auditing to the HAVA bill.

You guys are awesome when you get going. And I'm assuming Paranoid Pat can help archive any information you dig up? (If not Pat, who's doing that?)

(And I posted elsewhere on Dodd of Connecticut, who is also involved with HAVA in some way. He may not be a shining light)

We need a "swarm" of research right now. Might dig up nothing, might dig up a lot. Connections....
