Hello from VoteRescue Radio, Where Citizens Count, One Vote at a Time! This Friday, June 6th, from 6-8pm CDT, we have a show jam-packed with fantastic guests! We are honored and excited to welcome to the show this week ION SANCHO, the Supervisor of Elections in Leon County, Florida.
Ion made major election integrity news in 2005 when he invited in the "Black Box Voting hacking team" (as I call it), including Finnish Harri Hursti and Dr. Herbert Thompson, to examine the Diebold optical scan counters which were being used in his county. This was the first time that voting integrity experts had been invited to examine real election equipment. What was demonstrated there, and widely publicized afterward, was the fact that election results could be hacked in minutes by simply switching out the memory card in the machine with one containing a live "hacking" program. This famous hack can be viewed in its entirety on the emmy-award nominated HBO documentary, "Hacking Democracy" (purchase through www.hackingdemocracy.com) . A link to the clip of the hack is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=J36Jfkxd1vA Serving since January 1989, Ion has been reelected four times and is the only Supervisor of Elections in Florida without party affiliation. He has devoted special attention to studying voting technologies and citizen participation in our electoral system. Under his administration Leon County is now has the highest voter turnout of Florida 's 67 counties. We'll relay more about Ion's amazing career and experience when we introduce him on Friday's show. We will also have returning guest BOB SCHULZ of We the People Foundation, who will complete the details from last week's interview on the amazing citizens' action he is orchestrating to present Petitions for Redress of Grievances to Congressional leaders of the U.S.; Bob will detail how YOU can help; and tell us about his upcoming hunger fast related to this dramatic and important action. We also welcome back another returning guest, JIM MARCH, to give us an update on the recent victory by the Democratic Party of Pima County, Arizona. In the court case which Jim has reported on during a prior show, the judge's recent decision will force the county election officials to release election data to citizens which will allow them to review those records for possible election fraud.
