120. I'm proud of the Qui Tam. Here's why:
1. It looks like, based on Diebold's statements in their stockholders meeting, that for the first time, restitution will be paid to taxpayers by a voting machine vendor.

2. Most Qui Tam lawsuits involve witholding information of critical public importance. We refused to withhold the evidence, even though we knew it might jeopardize any bounty money on the whistleblower suit. We will probably prevail anyway, proving that Qui Tam can be used in an honorable way.

3. Our case was joined by the California Attorney General, giving it weight and credibility. In a time when most lawsuits are being thrown out, it appears that ours will prevail.

4. The proceeds from the case will fund one of the strategic solutions to this whole mess.

Nope, I don't mind talking about it, because this case was conducted with honor all the way. It looks like it will be a win-win-win-win.

Bev
