Whistleblowers in Ohio and Congress

If you think e-vote companies are pillars of integrity, you might want to this check out, from Channel 8 in Indianapolis: "ES&S Project Manager Resigns Over Voting Machine Problems." "I was faced with a moral and ethical dilemma and I felt the only thing that I could do was come forward and tell the Marion County clerk what had happened,” said Wendy Orange, a name you will probably be hearing again. If you don't get around to the link, here's a taste: "She said she had "personally witnessed open discussions of potentially illegal procedures." John Conyers is the subject of today's Q & A from Salon, "Investigating Ohio." From the intro: "For those who believe that the 2004 election was stolen by George W. Bush, Karl Rove and an unholy alliance of party operatives and voting-machine impresarios, a 75-year-old Democratic congressman from Detroit has emerged as the last best hope for American democracy. Almost alone in official Washington, Rep. John Conyers has insisted that the nation understand -- and then correct -- the problems that plagued the 2004 vote."
