Republican Computer Security Expert: "I do not believe George Bush won.."

Progressive bloggers like myself and web sites have been sounding the alarm, along with computer experts, about the ability of Republicans to steal votes and therefore elections via touch screen voting machines and software (mainly manufactured by Republican corporations) for alomst a decade and especially after the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) a Republican controlled Congress' government trough to supply Republican corporate cronies with hundreds of millions for electronic voting and counting machines that have failed miserably but succeeded in stealing votes for Republican candidates nationwide.
 
But, it's always interesting when Republican insiders confirm, as the following David Sirota commentary shows, what progressives have known for a long time and constantly warned about but were ignored.
 
"McCain supporter blows whistle on election stealing strategies"

"In an a never-aired interview just uncovered by the election integrity advocacy group Velevet Revolution, lifelong Republican and data security expert Stephen Spoonamore openly accuses Diebold (now called Premier Election Systems) of propogating insecure electronic voting systems that he believes were knowingly used to "electronically steal" the 2004 election. According to Spoonamore, "the 2004 elections were electronically stolen. The hanging chad incident was just a distraction." The interview is wonkish in the extreme, but still worth checking out:

I do not believe George Bush won. I believe Kerry won, and I'm a member of the GOP. But I want to make it clear: we need to live in a place where your election is actually reflected in the vote.

"Coming from a man, who up until recently in any case, has been a prominent McCain supporter, this is quite a bold statement indeed, and a spur to vigilance for the upcoming elections. The interview gets a nice write-up today by Progressive States Network, along with links to a handful of useful sources on clean and fair elections."

Now, what does the DNC and the Obama-Biden campaign plan to do about it, since it might cost them the election and the Democratic Party in fifty states has done little to nothing to mitigate or correct this electronic machine voting disaster?
