This is the New World Order. Control the elections, control the world. The crooked criminals in congress are unwilling to do anything to protect the vote, they are too busy sucking up as much as they can for themselves. Truly sad.

I find it interesting that “Dr. Riera” the founder of SCYTL died at age 36 in March of 2006. I also find it interesting that I can’t find anymore about “Dr. Riera” than just that which is on the about the founder page that states his name was “Dr. Riera”, and bits, and pieces about his education in Barcelona Spain. This guy is about as blank as Obama, and the information about SCYTL strikes me as hype.

Perhaps others could find out more.

I thought there was a federal law against exporting sensitive computer software out of our country. And, couldn't this be considered a more sensitive issue than say - stopping Boeing from building a plant in South Carolina? Can anyone here say voter fraud?

So how did so many states sign on for this, and why aren’t any running away screaming and finding new ways to get the elections done that IS reliable and transparent and verifiable? This is entirely up to the state legislatures, and the majority are GOP held. Once again, it is OUR fault if we allow it to continue.
