1. for those who didn't click on the link
you should. A few tidbits (MUCH more at the link)

Following the advice of her lawyer, Harris will not talk publicly about the government’s investigation. Seattle Weekly used postings from Harris’ Web site and interviewed other people involved with the investigation to put together this account.

<snip>

To date, Harris writes, she has had five meetings with Levin. By April 29, she was completely fed up. “This investigation no longer passes the stink test,” she writes. “I’ll tell you what it looks like to me: a fishing expedition.” Harris states that the Secret Service claims it is investigating the VoteHere hack but never spends much time on it while interviewing her. “Most of the time is spent on the Diebold memos, which they claim they are not investigating.”

Harris sounds the alarm about what the government wants her to turn over. “They want the logs of my Web site with all the forum messages and the IP addresses.” IP addresses are unique, numerical pointers to one or more computers on the Internet, making it possible to identify, or narrow the search for, a computer that has visited a given Web site. Writes Harris: “This has nothing to do with a VoteHere ‘hack’ investigation, and I have refused to turn it over.

“So, yesterday, they call me up and tell me they are going to subpoena me and put me in front of a grand jury. Well, let ’em. They still aren’t getting the list of members of blackboxvoting.org unless they seize my computer—which my attorney tells me might be what they had in mind.”

Harris also says Levin told her that he was on the same plane as her on one of the activist’s recent speaking tours. “What’s that supposed to do? Scare me?” she asks.

2. Thanks for heads up
In NM, many of us who had been poking around this issue privately, individually have come together (thank the goddess for the internet) and are working together. It's amazing how much more I've learned just listening to several other people share how they see the issue of the voting machines having no voter verified paper ballot.
By now, there are 'files' on millions of us posting on DU, MoveOn, BBV, Smirking Chimp, Veterans for Peace, Veterans for a common cause, Common Cause,
