Remember, the Diebold emails where their own workers couldn't believe what happened?
How did we find out about it?
That was Bev.

Who got the Diebold emails?

That would be me.

Watch "Invisible Ballots" and hear Bev herself explain that the memos were sent to me. Now, here is the really funny part. Bev was DEAD SET AGAINST me getting and reading the memos. She was CONVINCED is was a "Diebold honey trap" designed to discredit her. When she found out I was going to get the memos, she threatened to call her lawyer to break the contract to disassociate herself from me in order to "protect herself". She even accused ME of hacking Diebold for the memos (a compliment, since I am not a hacker of that caliber, but then, maybe not, Diebold wasn't exactly Fort Knox).

Once she realized that they were genuine and that they had also been leaked to a Wired! reporter who might publicize them, she beat them to the punch by leaking them to the folks who posted them.

Bev then publicized them, but indirectly. She leaked them to others who had the actually took the risks to post them. If you recall she only linked to such sites. As long as there was the threat of legal action, Bev was always careful on the record to put the emails in my hands.

Consider the 22,000 Georgia Diebold machine "fixes" just before the 2002 elections.
Who told us about it?
That was Bev.

Again, read the original book and watch "Invisible Ballots" Bev did not know what she had found and called me to explain to her what she had found. I understood what the files were and Roxanne Jekot and her team of programmers were the ones who did all the grunt work of reading and interpreting the code. This would be the same people Bev later accused of "stealing her work" in order to file a qui tam suit and make money.

Consider the TV show when Howard Dean learned how to hack the votes using Access.
Who showed him how it could be done?
That was Bev.

Bev was able to do that after she was taught the process inside and out by Roxanne and her team.

Thank you for the opportunity to clear this up AGAIN.
