Gates was director of VoteHere, a strange little company that was the biggest elections industry lobbyist for the Help America Vote Act (HAVA).
VoteHere spent more money than ES&S, Diebold, and Sequoia combined to help HAVA through. And HAVA, of course, was a bill sponsored by by convicted Abramoff pal Bob Ney and K-street lobbyist buddy Steny Hoyer. HAVA is what put electronic voting on steroids.
HAVA attempts to solve the problem of punch-card voting machine errors, by replacing them with expensive electronic voting machines that have no record of individual votes.(they could print records like an ATM, but suspiciously the HAVA statutes do not require it)
Why was the former(and now actual) Defence secretary in the peculiar position of chairman of a voting machine company? Do you find this a little strange, or is it just coincidence?
