Oh…and it is MY Fault

Command Central has a Scary Secret

Command Central is the vendor for electronic voting machines in Crawford and many other counties throughout Wisconsin. Who is Command Central? Command Central is a private corporation that supplies election hardware and the programming and tabulation software that goes along with it. Yet they have no real oversight by any government agency, elected official(s), or the judiciary. Therefore the corporation holds a very scary and unique secret that flies in the face of Democracy. In a country that was founded with a constitution to provide a proven structure of checks and balances among the three branches of government, Command Central has none.
Oversight over land development and water quality but not your vote?
What other private corporation providing service to the government is free of checks and balances and oversight? The private companies that contract repair and construct our highways, towers, and bridges are under strict scrutiny. Mining and land development interests must meet exacting standards to insure that drinking water, and the drainage of the land is not compromised. Now comes the irony that is almost embarrassing: where is the oversight when it comes protecting our most vital act in our Democracy – our vote? It is a secret. Not only do we allow Command Central to write secret programming to count our votes, but instead of oversight and scrutiny Command Central’s most undemocratic secret gets protection and blind compliance from elected officials.

When rightfully concerned citizens attempt to verify the accuracy of the machine vote count, or inspect election materials after the vote, they are met by the Government Accountability Board and Kevin Kennedy and County Clerks with obstruction and vilification like so many gnats circling the vote bags like it was spilled koolaid.

1. Those vote counting corporations should start trading and selling our votes.

Really the corporation that counts our vote controls our vote. You don't control it because you don't even know if it is counted at all. You have no proof. The American state or federal government doesn't control your vote because they have no way of verifying the accuracy of the corporate vote count. The only people who really control the outcome of elections are the corporations that make machines to count your vote with no visible proof that you vote was counted, accurately or otherwise.

So, the vote counting corporations should contact the people who are running for election and see who will pay them the most for the most votes. They could do auctions. I'm sure the Supremes would go along with it. They aren't elected and it's no skin off their nose. They have equated money with free speech so equating money with the buying and selling votes should be an easy stretch.

Let's all quit pretending that our vote is really counted and start making some money for corporations (our lords and masters now).

2. We just may see how accurate these voting machines are as there will be...
