Earlier this month, Obama made his first official move to corrupt and undermine the 2010 elections. The move consisted in the little noticed appointment of a technical adviser to the Technical Guidelines Development Committee (TGDC) of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC).
The importance of the appointment was explained at The Brad Blog last Monday.
The Official Press Release of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission read as follows:
U.S. ELECTION ASSISTANCE COMMISSION 1225 New York Ave. NW – Suite 1100 Washington, DC 20005
For Immediate Release December 11, 2009

New Technical and Scientific Experts Appointed to EAC’s Technical Guidelines Development Committee
WASHINGTON- The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) today announced the appointment of four new technical and scientific experts to its Technical Guidelines Development Committee (TGDC), which is charged under the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) with assisting EAC in developing federal voluntary voting system guidelines that are used to test and certify voting systems.
The following new members were appointed jointly by EAC and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST):
Thereupon it lists a series of advisers appointed, among whom is:
Edwin B. Smith, III, vice president of compliance and certification at Dominion Voting Systems. Before joining Dominion Voting Systems, Mr. Smith was vice president of manufacturing, compliance, quality and certification at Sequoia Voting Systems. He also served as the operations manager at Hart InterCivic and the senior director of operations at K*TEC Electronics. He holds a Master of Business Administration from the University of Phoenix and a Bachelor of Science in engineering technology from Texas A&M.
Both Sequoia Voting Systems and Dominion Voting Systems have been at the center of infamous voting irregularities in different elections across the country, according to Brad Friedman’s article on the subject, which appeared in the Gouverneur Times at the end of November.
At his Blog, Brad Friedman explains who Edwin B. Smith is:
Smith is the guy who, after years of paying a crackpot contractor named Mike Gibbons to do this and that for Sequoia with loads of federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA) tax-payer cash, assigned him to do an “independent” analysis of Sequoia’s touch-screen machines after they failed in NJ’s 2008 Super Tuesday election. That was just after Smith had sent a letter threatening two Princeton computer scientists with legal action “to stop any infringement of our intellectual properties, including any non-compliant analysis,” if they performed the actually independent analysis of the machines as they were tasked by NJ election officials to do. (Additional outrage/irony shortly thereafter uncovered by The BRAD BLOG: Sequoia didn’t even own the Intellectual Property rights to the machines in question. Rather, the IP rights were, and are still to our knowledge, owned by Smartmatic, a Venezuelan firm tied to Hugo Chavez. Sequoia lied to both federal investigators and state election officials about that relationship.)
After The BRAD BLOG exposed who Smith’s friend Mike Gibbons actually was — a Sequoia insider, as well as a drunk and a philanderer with an obnoxious Facebook page seeking a “well endowed blond nymphomaniac,” only to change the page after we’d outed him to feature a photo of him and George Bush Sr. and a professed love of Jesus Christ instead — Gibbons was fired. (He would be found dead a few months later, the actual cause of which we’ve never been able to ascertain.)
Smith was severely reprimanded at Sequoia for the embarrassing incident, and has now been rewarded by moving on to Dominion, which is in partnership with his old friends at Sequoia to supply the new, failed e-voting systems recently deployed, disastrously, for the first time in last November’s election — the one where the results of the NY-23 Special Election for U.S. House will now forever be in question. The Sequoia/Dominion contract to supply faulty, secret vote counting machines to NY-23 is worth some $20 million federal tax-payer dollars.
The Post & Email notes that the other appointees to the Technical Committee have qualified liberal connections: Iowa State Elections Commission and the University of Columbia. Neither are experts in computer software, or the forensic investigation of computer hacking.
A copy of the official Commission’s Press Release can be read at Brad’s blog. The Commission describes itself and its importance in overseeing the counting of votes in elections across the country, thus:
The EAC is an independent commission created by the Help America Vote Act. The EAC serves as a national clearinghouse and resource of information regarding election administration. It is charged with administering payments to states and developing guidance to meet HAVA requirements, adopting voluntary voting system guidelines, and accrediting voting system test laboratories and certifying voting equipment. It is also charged with developing and maintaining a national mail voter registration form. The three EAC commissioners are Gineen Beach, chair; Gracia Hillman, vice chair; and Donetta Davidson. There is one vacancy on the commission.
The appointment makes the commission much more able to “assist” the 2010 Elections, but not in the sense you and I mean by the word “assist.”
Finally, you can read the exchange between the president of Sequoia Voting Systems and Brad Friedman in the comments section of the article he wrote at the Gouverneur Times
Hussein is laying the groundwork for huge voter fraud next November...prepare for a new Soviet Republic.
This is not the only life I have so I would rather die, thanks.
Was that before this “new exercise” was in place?
The urgency of the “healthcare” bill is the first step to control the 2010 elections..
What’s made this so urgent are no revenues for “walking around money” for the elections in 2010...IOW..they can’t even begin to pay out on the so-called stimulus they passed.

So you and I are gonna pay to transport the amnesty granted illegal immigrants to the polls in November.
-Everywhere- I go, the conversations are ALL the same.
“The masses” loathe him.
As an example, at the biker halloween party, a huge biker with a seriously scary “smile” was roaming the crowded bar, “looking for Obama voters”.
I don’t think he wanted to buy them a drink.
[and no one can say I didn’t do my part to help him find one..although amazingly, no one there would admit to being one]
The masses already know.
they stole NY -23...for want of aggressive precinct control...
She’s a pretty girl but you totally lost me with the relevance of posting that.
Caprica Six and Baltar were my favs. Can't wait for 'The Plan' in January!
Nothing would happen, just like nothing has happened since they started cramming those socialist bills down our throats.
America is rolling over with barely a whimper.
Oh, okay
Bummer.
Luckily, I’m only immortal in spirit.
That’s what I suspect too but would dearly love to be proved wrong.

I just had the weirdest thing happen.
We are last minute shopping right now and instead of going down I70 as usual we took rt 40.
I was bemoaning the impending doom of our nation and suggesting possibly finally joining some church when, out of nowhere, a huge bald eagle swooped right over our Yukon.
This is NOT a bald eagle infested area by any stretch of the imagination so I’m gonna take that as a sign from God.
There are a lot more bald eagles than you might think.
They look like ordinary eagles, but they are doing comb-overs.
