Bruce Funk is nothing less than a martyr to democracy

Emery County: Ex-clerk at center of machine politics
By Glen Warchol
The Salt Lake Tribune

Emery County's former and would-be future county clerk, Bruce Funk, is many things to many people.
To electronic elections giant Diebold Election Systems, Funk is a nuisance in an obscure rural Utah county who asks embarrassing questions.

To the Utah Lieutenant Governor's Office, he is a renegade election official who put a pothole in the $27 million transition to electronic voting.

To anti-electronic voting activists, the 23-year veteran clerk, forced out of office in March after he allowed independent computer experts to examine an Emery County voting machine, is nothing less than a martyr to democracy.

To shocked computer experts and electronic voting certification officials from California to Pennsylvania, Funk is a whistle-blower who uncovered a severe security problem in Diebold's machines.

Dr. David Dill and Professor Michael Shamos both made very supportive
statements on behalf of Bruce Funk.

They both were loud and clear about who should be embarrassed.

I think the article indicates that Bruce Funk is going to run
for that office again.

If he does, I will donate to his campaign!

Bruce Funk is a Republican! Democrat county clerks should show such courage. Patriots exist in the strangest places. I think he wants the courts to give him back his job out of principle. Before all of this intrigue, I don't believe he intended to run again when his term ended.

Kicked, recommended, and thanks, kpete, for this post.

May he live long and prosper.
