Excellent Clint Curtis Piece on Front Page at Rawstory!!
http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Programmer_who_alleged_plot_to_steal_0324.html

Programmer who alleged plot to steal Florida election runs for Congress

To Republicans, Clint Curtis is a traitor; a back-stabbing liar with an imagination that rivaled Jack Abramoff's influence over Congress.

To liberal Democrats, Curtis is a hero; a stand up guy who blew the whistle on computer voting fraud, testifying before a group of U.S. House Committee Judiciary Democrats after the 2004 presidential election.

And to the man himself, the Republican-turned-Democrat is nothing but a computer geek who purports to have found himself smack in the middle of a brazen political plot to tamper with elections in Florida, where fact can be stranger than fiction and politics as shady as swampy underbrush.

After all, since the software programmer accused Florida Congressman Tom Feeney of asking him to create a computer program to steal an election, the plot has unraveled quirkier than a Carl Hiaasen novel

SNIP

Now Curtis is preparing to square off against Feeney for the state's 24th Congressional District this November, a solidly conservative area in central Florida carved out by Feeney himself.

But before taking on Feeney, he needs to beat fellow Democrat Andy Michaud, a lifelong Democrat.

"Even Republicans know Feeney is a crook and they'd be glad to get rid of him," Curtis said. "I just have to persuade Democrats that I am Democratic enough."

Curtis says his main campaign issue is eliminating election fraud.

"This is not a partisan issue," he said. "I noticed recently in Texas there was a Republican that got some wild results in his primary. The Republicans can't run unless the people that control the machines want them to run."

SNIP

But the fact that Curtis is one of the only politicians in the country addressing the issue of computer voting fraud is winning him support from outside his district as well as from other states.

Snip

But first he has to get on the ballot.

1. Wasn't Curtis the guy telling everyone the FBI killed his dog?

It would be great of if Curtis and Andy Michaud would debate here on DU. I would like to learn a bit more about Andy Michaud before I blindly throw money at Curtis.

3. Ok- but if we don't get him on the ballot, there can be no debate
Exposing the fraud and corruption of Feeny and friends is not one of Mr. Micaud's platforms however, and until we know that are votes are going to count, neither candidate will have a prayer (nor will most Dems in close races where people vote on electronic machines)at winning this. We HAVE to get the election fraud issue out into the mainstream media- otherwise- what's the point of voting?

Food for thought...
