Jeff Dean, the felon who served 5 years for embezzlement using "sophisticated computer techniques" and probably helped write the software used by Diebold in GA in 02 (which probably served as a template for other vote counting fraud throughout the nation) has admitted to having been involved in setting up the computer connections in CA during the 2000 election.
2-2-06: Embezzler Jeff Dean remote accessed Calif. counties for 2000 election
So much for the "people and procedures" security defense. From Oct. 2004 trial transcript:
Attorney:
"What were you doing down in California at that point?"
Jeffrey Dean: "I was trying to get the connection -- I was installing computer hardware, printing hardware, and trying to get the computer or the internet connections between a number of California counties and the server in Mountlake Terrace operational.
"In other words, be able to make the connection between the county and our data center over the internet and to upload and download test data. That's what I was doing."
Among the counties: Los Angeles (Conny McCormack); Alameda (Brad Clark, now with Calif. secretary of state's office), and Placer.
