Black Box Voting: Ballot Tampering in the 21st Century by Bev Harris with David Allen

http://www.blackboxvoting.org/bbv_chapter-...

Chapter 9, page 88

...I clicked all the links, including the link called “FTP,” which took me to a page full of files.

I called David Allen. "What am I looking at?"


Now here's where we get another example of Bev revising history, and I really thank you for allowing me this opportunity to point it out.

The link above links to the REVISED edition of the book where Bev begins minimizing my contributions.

The next graf of the REVISED edition reads:

Allen admitted that the file names, like “BS4” and “GA-062802” meant nothing to him, but we both knew that this was an online file stash. He snorted and offered a comment: Incredible stupidity.”

What follows is the first detailed look — ever — into a secret voting system.


In the ORIGINAL version things are written a BIT different:

http://www.blackboxvoting.com/bbv_chapter-...

Chapter 7, page 122

...I clicked all the links. I clicked the link called “FTP” and it took me to a page full of files.

I called my publisher, David Allen. “What am I looking at?”

He took one look at the page and snorted incredulously. “Incredible stupidity.”

“Click ‘Pub’ ” he suggested. We did. What follows is the first detailed look — ever — into a secret voting system.


So, you see Bev HAD to go back and add her little comment about my not being sure. In fact, I identified all the file types by their extensions and told her which file to concentrate on (.pdf, .doc, .txt, .asc, etc) and which to skip.

A prima facia example of Bev playing up her part while diminishing someone else.

Also, my actual words when Bev asked what we were looking at were: "The keys to the candy store". Bev re-wrote that to "incredible stupidity" because she feared prosecution because she then knew the true importance of the files.

As to why I never did any of this, it's simple. I'm a hardware guy with little programming experience. I know my wy around software, but I leaving coding to the pros. Which is what Bev did, she brough the code here to DU, then other people scoured the software.

Now that I have shown you what I said was true, will you apologize for insinuating I lied?
