Terry Goddard Town Hall Oct. 16, 7pm

Dear Friends;

The same computer operator, the same election director and the same management structure exists today as on the RTA election day. Counting the ballots is not just an issue of "uncertainty on the outcome" of the RTA as it is on the integrity of our elections. Can we be sure of any election?

The national impact of a rigged computer election is huge as the entire computer system nationally is vulnerable to similar rigging. Nonetheless, that is not our central issue. Our central issue is the integrity of Arizona elections. Goddard receives a check from the people of Arizona every payday. He is paid to carry out his oath of office and not to conceal crimes against the people. It is the people's interest and not his personal political future that must be dominant. The consensus of opinion in Pima County is that we need an answer. When the computer operator says he rigged the election on the instruction of his bosses that is fraud and the precise type of fraud that Goddard must investigate.

Join us at a Town Hall with Terry Goddard Thursday, Oct. 16, 7pm at the Tucson Ward 2 Office, 7575 E. Speedway.

Let’s demand he exercise his authority to count the RTA ballots and end the uncertainty about the outcome of the election.

Attorney General Terry Goddard has continued to ignore the calls from the public, the media and even the Pima County Board of Supervisors to count the paper ballots from the contested RTA Tax Increase Proposition.

The subject of the town hall is “Crime and Fraud Prevention.” Let’s fill the room with people who care about election fraud and let Goddard know we want to stop the madness and count the votes before the November 4 election. Can you imagine the impact this would have nationally if the ballots show the election was hacked?

Also present will be County Attorney Barbara LaWall, Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, Tucson Police Captain Carla Johnson and Rodney Glassman.

JOIN BILL RISNER, ARLENE LEAF, JIM MARCH, JOHN BRAKEY, MIKE HAYES, MANY OTHERS THURSDAY, 7PM AT THE WARD 2 OFFICE. LET’S SEND GODDARD ONE SIMPLE MESSAGE: COUNT THE VOTES!

John R. Brakey, 520-578-5678

December 5, 2007: The testimony of James Barry is mainly to illustrate that the Pima County government had a deep, vested, and motivated interest in the outcome of the RTA election. They County spent $75,000 on Barry's services alone in analyzing prior bond and tax elections, by precinct, creating a plan to divide up projects based on possible electoral trouble areas, and creating a campaign plan. He also was paid $13,000 by the Yes for RTA Committee.

Press Conference TODAY

What: PRESS CONFERENCE

When: Thursday, September 11, 2008 2:30 pm promptly

Where: Valdez Main Library Downtown, Downstairs meeting room

Larry Bahill, Pima County Elections Director from 1981 to 1993, will brief the press on how an Election Department should be run and will comment on current problems. The current Election Director, Brad Nelson, has falsely blamed the delay of election results on a supposed Democratic Party demand to avoid the use of electronic transmission of results from precincts to the central count facility. Mr. Bahill will describe how his department produced early results without modems. He will also discuss the need for election observers to ensure election transparency and the need for thorough documentation of chain of custody tracking of ballots. Mr. Nelson instigated the false arrest of John Brakey at the hand-count audit session on the 6th of September because Mr. Brakey was asking questions about incorrect, broken, and missing security seals on ballot bags, and Mr. Nelson is on record as saying that he himself has done nothing to document or trace security seal problems – thus rendering the legally required, essential random audit of the computer’s vote count nearly useless.

In addition to Mr. Bahill, other speakers will include Brad Roach (candidate for County Attorney), Donna Branch-Gilby (candidate for Board of Supervisors), Richard Harding (retired senior employee of the Pima County Election Department), David Euchner Esq (chair of the Pima County Libertarian Party), and Bill Risner (Pima County Democratic Party Attorney who won a landmark lawsuit against Pima County about election transparency).

This non-partisan Press Conference is supported by Democratic Party, Libertarian Party, Independents, and notable Republicans (not the party) a growing number of elected officials and others involved in the elections process, including:

• Bill Risner, Esq.,
• Jim March, Computer Expert, BBV,
• Randy Graf,
• Donna Branch-Gilby,
• Jeff Rogers Esq (Vice-Chair of Pima County Democratic Party),
• David J. Euchner Esq (Chair of Pima County Libertarian Party),
• Professor Ted Downing, (Chair of State ADP-EIC),
• John Kromko,
• J. M “Mike” Hayes,
• Mickey Duniho,
• Richard Harding (retired employee Pima Co Election Dept),
• Noel Day (former employee Pima Co Election Dept), and many more.

TOPIC: Examining Pima County’s Flimsy Excuses for Posting Late Election Results

The Pima County Election Department attributes the delay in releasing the vote tallies on a timely fashion on the Pima county Democratic Party.

Fact is, it was Pima County’s own decision not to use phone modems; due to security concerns of possible hacking the central tabulator through the phone modem to precinct at end of day phone connection.

Then, Pima County Election Department then blames the Democratic Party for the slow results.

In point of fact, Pima County disconnected the modems. Facts are when Larry Bahill was the election director he had to run and load 250,000 plus punch cards and had 100% of the precincts reported by 1AM! Therefore, Pima County's other excuse that it takes a long time to load 400 memory cards just doesn't stand up.

Undoubtedly, questions will come up about the illegal arrest of John Brakey. Bill Risner will address this. Larry Bahill will address that it was totally uncalled for and unprofessional for Brad Nelson to have Mr. Brakey arrested.

Details at the Press Conference.

Your participation counts in this Citizen Voter action to help shine the light of integrity and transparency on the games being played by the Pima County Election Department.

Additionally the next morning at 9AM, please be at the Pima County Board of Sups meeting for the canvas. We will recommend the canvas is NOT certified until proper protocols and validation are the election is completed. We see many problems that must be addressed.
