No - we’re not going to be focusing on dimpled chads or
butterfly ballots. We will instead be looking deeper into the results of a 30 year ongoing
investigation by the Collier family into the systematic rigging of voting machines,
manipulations of vote counting computers, and suspicious behavior by the Voter News
Service - a private organization which conducts exit poles, calculates vote projections
and tabulates results for America’s press.
Come see a 1996 video featuring the late James
Collier, co-author of Votescam - The Stealing of America. James and his bother Ken
began their investigation with an unexpected discovery of voting technology fraud in (of
all places) Miami Dade County, Florida in 1970. From there, they went on to learn
everything they could about voting machine and vote counting technology. Some of their
fin-dings are quite disturbing. Votescam was first published in 1992 and updated in
April 2000. James Collier’s daughter, Victoria, carries on the investigation and will
be live with us after the video to discuss her unique insights regarding the year 2000
Presidential election. See 
Charles Ostman will conclude our meeting with a discussion about
the future of what can be done to improve voting technology and the voting process. We
will explore if there might be ways for sufficient checks and balances to be incorporated
into future voting technology and procedures, to insure the integrity of your vote via a
secret ballot. Charles is a senior fellow at the Institute For Global Futures.
