“There is obviously going to have to be some trust and faith in the elections official, or in this case, it’s me.”
— Then Monterey County, CA Registrar of Voters, Tony Anchundo on the Peter B. Collins radio show, 10/24/05

“Anchundo to face 43 criminal charges
DA: Ex-registrar spent $70,000 on personal purchases”

— Headline of the Salinas Californian, 7/6/06

The astute BRAD BLOG reader may recall my appearance on the Peter B. Collins show last October when the good Peter B. had invited Monterey County, CA Registrar of Voters Tony Anchundo into the studio to demonstrate the county’s brand-spankin’ new Sequoia touch-screen voting machines that were slated for first time use in last November’s special election.

That interview, both audio and complete text transcript, is right here…

After Anchundo’s in-studio demo of how the new system is supposed to work, I pressed Anchundo to find out whether or not he actually intended to count the virtually uncountable “toilet-paper roll” voter-verified paper trails created by the Sequoia machines or if he would rely on the machine count. He committed on air that the county had planned to count “100%” of those paper trails.

Incredulous, but nonethless happy to have that promise on-air and on-the-record, I asked which count would be the official count in the case of a discrepancy; the paper count or the machine count. He said we’d have to trust him to make the best decision at the time. “Faith-based voting,” in other words.

While I was skeptical that he’d even be able to count those paper trails at all — or even that it could be done in reality, even if they’d wanted to — he promised to come back to the show after the election to report on how the 100% count went and which count they ended up using.

Weeks and months went by and Peter B. and his producer attempted to book Anchundo, the 13-year Registrar, for the promised follow-up. It seemed the office was not eager to return calls or book a return appearance.

Then last April, Anchundo suddenly and mysteriously resigned — just six weeks before the California primary elections — leaving county officials “stunned”, as the Monterey Herald reported it at the time.

And then finally, last Friday, a caller to Peter B.’s show, during my regular weekly appearance there, gave us a tip to this report from the Salinas Californian

Anchundo to face 43 criminal charges
DA: Ex-registrar spent $70,000 on personal purchases

By CHRISTOPHER ORTIZ
The Salinas Californian

The Monterey County District Attorney’s Office announced Wednesday it has filed 43 criminal charges against former Registrar of Voters Tony Anchundo, saying he spent more than $70,000 on personal purchases using county-issued credit cards, then tried to cover his tracks.

The charges include 25 counts of forgery, 14 counts of misapplication of funds, three counts of embezzlement and falsification of accounts by a public officer and one count of grand theft.

If found guilty on all charges, Anchundo could face 12 years in jail.

More details at the Californian, but all I can say is: “Trust and faith in the elections officials,”…indeed, Mr. Anchundo. A picture perfect lesson in why no elections officials should ever be trusted.

Just ask the heroic and legendary Ion Sancho, Election Director of Leon County, FL who said in a speech last May: “Trust no one. If it can’t be verified, it can’t be used.”

Or ask the courageous Yolo County, CA Registrar-Clerk, Freddie Oakley, who smartly wrote recently about some of her election official colleagues: “They also argue that, ‘We have to trust our poll workers”¦’ To this I can only say”¦only if they are incorruptible.”

Or finally, ask Oregon Secretary of State, Bill Bradbury, who delivered this knock-out speech last November:

We cannot simply react and play defense against a rising tide of legitimate public questions and concerns. Elections are the foundation of democracy, and our democracy cannot function without full public confidence in the fairness of elections. We must proactively offer the public an elections system that is clean, transparent, fair, and above reproach. We must be able to prove that all of our claims about elections are true.

We cannot ignore our constituents. It’s not enough anymore to simply tell them “just trust us.”

We believe that our elections are accurate, but we need hard evidence to show the public.

If only San Diego County Registrar Mikel Haas — who has never heard of an indicted election official, and isn’t concerned that a poll worker might try to tamper with a programmed election-ready voting machine when he allows them to keep them in their car, house or garage for weeks before an election — would care as much about his voters as Sancho, Oakley or Bradbury… Unfortunately, Haas seems to be falling into the Anchundo category instead.

Trust me.

    Amazing! “…and one count of grand theft.” And how many elections were stolen?

    What a bunch of crooks. The whole lot of them belong behind bars, and for a good long time. I agree w/bluebear, “grand theft” is a petty crime relative to “how many…stolen elections?”

    Tony Anchundo, do not despair, there is a promotion in your future.

    You are the type of election warlord the republican dictatorship needs.

    After all the only individual to certify election voting machines (while working for three companies), Shawn Southworth, is a republican operative (link here), and needs your help.

    Faith, its not just for church anymore. With god in the white house helping the preznit, more faith needs to be placed in the certification process, so call Shawn Southworth and let the faith in the certification process begin.

    Clinton feeds theory of Ohio vote tampering
    Refers to Blackwell in telling crowd he shouldn’t run election
    BY JON CRAIG AND ALLISON D’AURORA | ENQUIRER COLUMBUS BUREAU
    COLUMBUS – U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton took a shot at Secretary of State Ken Blackwell of Cincinnati, the Republican candidate for governor, Monday during her third visit to Ohio this year.

    Speaking to more than 3,000 people at a national conference of ACORN – the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now – Clinton prompted whoops and hollers by saying, “Let’s make sure that we count every vote in our elections.”

    Fox News Spin Attack Ends With Red-Faced Anchors
    9/11 truth scholar Fetzer anticipated slant of Hannity and Colmes spot

    Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | July 11 2006

    Fox News’ tactic of mapping out a spin and attack policy for guests whose stance they disagree with was spotlighted and deflated recently by 9/11 truth scholar Jim Fetzer – who left Alan Colmes and Oliver North red-faced after he exposed them and Fox producers for not having done their homework.

    Fetzer called the appearance, “perhaps the most interesting four and a half minutes of my life.”

    Fetzer described how in a pre-interview a Fox producer has insistently asked him if he taught alternative theories behind 9/11 as a college course. Fetzer was keen to stress that he taught a course on critical thinking but not a course specific to 9/11.

    They were attacking me for a non-existent course, said Fetzer.”

    “There was no course that satisfied the description they were trying to nail me for having taught.”

    Fetzer was able to embarrass Colmes and North who cut the interview short because their attack strategy had clearly been ripped out from underneath them.

    9/11 is OT

    Can anyone verify or not, this:

    Sequoia is no stranger to controversy either. The company’s touchscreen system came under fire late last year when it was left unprotected on a server that was accessible publicly, raising fears of tampering.

    In the late ’90s, nine election officials in Louisiana were indicted and charged with taking $8 million in bribes and kickbacks from a Sequoia salesman, Phil Foster.

    In addition, British company De La Rue, whose corporate parent is the private equity firm Madison Dearborn, controls Sequoia. Madison Dearborn is a partner of the Carlyle Group, which has George Herbert Walker Bush on the payroll.

    What really gets me, is the conviction these “used car salesmen” politicians have when they’re lying to us. Listen to him again, if you have the time. Then think of all the bullshitter used car salesmen talking RIGHT NOW who are yet to be indicted. They’re real good with their used car salesman bullshit, and not answering questions and charge, and lying about the future, like “100% counting the paper ballots.”

    Who’s saying stuff like this RIGHT NOW to us??? Like this guy said “with conviction” back then???

    Dredd, thanks for the info. i didnt realize 9/11 was off topic. can you sense the sarcasm? as long as people like you ignore the obvious evidence that 9/11 wasnt solely done by 19 arabs with box cutters, vote rigging will stay in place.many people would call you the conspiracy theorist in regards to voter fraud.i of course realize vote rigging is a very real problem,but the media does a poor job of covering it.sort of like 9/11.

    At least wait until the threads have begun to slow on the topic at hand before you do your 9/11 Truth activism. Half the comments are about your hijack now.

    WE HAVE LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS TO STOP THESE ELECTION HIJACKING MACHINES!

    Leave your pet cause till later, okay? Unfortunately, very, very, very, unfortunately, it will keep a few months. It’s going to keep for all time. We still have a chance to beat the election fraud, and THAT is going to do more for everyone’s causes.

    Well, and it’s my pet cause, too, but ELECTION FRAUD HAS TO STOP OR WE ARE 100% FASCIST, NO AMERICA ANYMORE. Get it?

    I’m thinking it comes down to if you’ve taken the oath of office…. You’d have an affirmative defense if you had. Well, if there were lots and lots of steamrollers, you’d have the safety in numbers thing going for you. 😉

    Fellas

    OT a lot is the whole personality of Brad Blog, but, sheesh, we’re in a crunch (maybe with steamrollers) and, if you haven’t noticed, the front page has been devoted exclusively to the election fraud topic for the last month. We could at least stay on it in these threads long enough that we don’t send people who come to be informed, or get engaged with the issue, off somewhere else.

    The used car salesman analogy is excellent. Every time I hear Bush or one of his co-conspirators talk it gives me a nauseous feeling. The lies just roll of their tongues so effortlessly. It’s amazing how many people don’t get that same reaction and just inhale deeply all they spew!

    This should be interesting…Clinton was commenting on vote fraud in Ohio. And, in a couple of articles back, we all seemed to agree that the Republican Noise Machine is strangely silent in smearing all this e-vote fraud news that’s finally hitting the MSM.

    BUT…the Republican Noise Machine CANNOT RESIST bashing anything Clinton says. So, Clinton is in the news today mentioning vote fraud in Ohio.

    WHAT WILL THE REPUBLICAN NOISE MACHINE DO??? STAY SILENT? EVEN WITH CLINTON COMMENTING PUBLICLY???

    Watch how this plays out…………..

    We said, that we think the RNM is silent, because they are going to use e-vote fraud to their advantage, remember that Brad Blog article about a week ago?

    BUT CLINTON COMMENTED ON IT! WHAT WILL THEY DO???

    Hillary also said (without mentioning Blackwell by name) that “…(Ohioans) have someone running for office this year who’s also running the election itself. That’s a conflict of interest. We’ve got to save democracy.”

    All right and proper of her. But I can’t get it out of my head that all of this could have been said two years ago by any prominent Democrat. Blackwell was known to be a potential candidate for governor during the presidential campaign, for heaven’s sake. And he was pulling the same crooked shit then as now. Where were Hillary, Bubba, Kerry, Howard Dean, Donna Brazile, Al Gore, Joe Lieberman, and John Edwards back in 2004?

    Actually, in international espionage, the lower your number, the higher your worth. Agent 86 outranks me by 13 ops. BB2 is of the new generation. We had to go through all the AA#’s before we got to the BB’s. BB2 has gotten the special attention of Maxwell Smart, now, at last, the undisputed Top Dog at CONTROL, and so his ranking is making many of the AA’s nervous. It’s a complicated system, and we have an ass agent, named Agent DLC. It’s really complicated. So, Agent Czaragorn, for clarity’s sake, we should stick with names for new agents.

    Does that sound reasonable? Would you believe… doable? How about… something that just came off the top of my head?

    Representative Of Largest 9/11 Families Group Says Government Complicit In Attack
    Tells radio host 9/11 Commission a sham, “cover-up beyond belief”

    Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | July 8 2006

    The representative of the largest group of 9/11 families says that the official version of events is a fallacy and that the NORAD stand down and evidence of incendiary devices used to bring down the towers amount to government complicity in the attacks – a conclusion shared by half of the 9/11 families he represents.

    Doyle heads the Coalition of 9/11 Families and lost his own son Joey in the collapse of the twin towers.

    “If you want to believe what they want to snow you under on like the 9/11 Commission – that’s a total fallacy,” said Doyle.

    “The continuing cover-up is beyond belief,” Doyle told GCN radio host Alex Jones.

    Former Reagan Deputy and Colonel Says 9/11 “Dog That Doesn’t Hunt”
    Col. Ronald D. Ray asks why half a trillion defense budget couldn’t protect Pentagon, astounded at “conspiracy theory” put out by government

    Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones/Prison Planet.com | July 1 2006

    The former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense under the Reagan Administration and a highly decorated Vietnam veteran and Colonel has gone on the record to voice his doubts about the official story of 9/11 – calling it “the dog that doesn’t hunt.”

    Col. Ronald D. Ray joined Alex Jones for an hour long interview in which he gave his views on a wide array of subjects, including the war on terror, porous borders and the Bush administration.

    Ray questioned the feasbility of having a budget of half a trillion dollars a year yet not even being able to defend the Pentagon.

    “Half a trillion dollars a year and a bunch of guys over in a cave in Afghanistan were able to penetrate that half a trillion dollar network that’s supposed to provide Americans with national security.”

    July 2001, Alex Jones Warned of Globalist Plan to Use Bin Laden to Attack America

    During the months of July and August 2001, Alex Jones ran a campaign which he dubbed ‘Expose the Government Terrorists’ on both his TV and radio shows. He encouraged people to call the White House and tell them not to go ahead and launched the staged terror attack that would become the foundation of their push for martial law.

    On Wednesday July 25th 2001, during a taping of Alex’s local cable access TV show in Austin, Texas, he elaborated on how the Globalists were set to use their operative Osama bin Laden and that the preparations for a terror attack were in their final stages.

    Alex didn’t have a crystal ball, he merely studied the elite’s propaganda and was able to connect the dots and make a prediction that would materialize on September 11, 2001.

    Oh shoot – I’m sorry Chris Hooten and Chris, I’ve gotten totaly confused as to which Chris was which on this thread. (my #45 and I think #70)

    Thanks 99 for correcting the errors of my ways! (or am I even more confused than I think?)

    Chris, did you read our 770 comments in that link posted above in comment # 20? You came late to the dance on 9/11, Bub…

    btw, would you buy a used car from that guy in the picture above??? Let alone, a voting machine??? wtf??? I think he has a wig on, or something. Anyone agree? He won’t look like that in jail, there’s not much “wig time” maintenance there…and they won’t let you keep a styrofoam head in your cell to keep it on at night.

    Now see? If I said that BEFORE he was indicted, I’d have the “equal rights for wig-wearers” groups on my ass!!! If that’s his real hair, it’s absolutely AMAZING!

    “TRUST ME…”, he says. Anyone going around RIGHT NOW…saying “TRUST ME”??? Yeah, I think it’s Bush with the spying on Americans!!!

    Maybe he could get away with it on the radio, but one look at him just screams, “Do not trust this guy.”

    But, it seems, a lot of shady characters have been moving into elections official positions, and, now, with these hackable electronic wonders, they may stop getting caught like Anchundo did.

    We simply must get rid of this threat before November.

    A piece of paper – a pencil – an ‘X’ by a name or issue you are voting for. Don’t overcomplicate it.

    Enron witness “dies”…

    Ken Lay dies of “heart attack”…

    OK, yeah, right…………..

    How many more “heart attacks”…suicides…etc…before it’s all over?

    People drop dead all them time around me! On my way to work today, I saw one guy topple over with a “heart attack”, and another suicide. I just drove around them. This is normal…

    There is one answer and one answer only (after the rope has been dispensed and used):
    Paper Ballots, Hand Counted.
    Paper Ballots, Hand Counted.
    Paper Ballots, Hand Counted.
    Paper Ballots, Hand Counted.
    Paper Ballots, Hand Counted.

    sorry for the Rovian repetition.

    He meant “late to the dance here“, Chris. Please don’t try to distract the attention away from the election fraud issue with the 9/11 issue. Our point was that we do not censor it, or ignore it, we’re just on fire about saving our democracy right now, and when we get that handled, much bigger chance to get to the bottom of the 9/11 mess. Don’t you think?

    Something happening right here where I live…Rick Santorum staffers behind a website that promotes Hazleton’s proposed illegal immigration law. Republican mayor Lou Barletta says he didn’t know Santorum’s staffers set up the website. Let’s see, there’s 1 million website providers/designers…and the one’s who did this website were Santorum staffers…when will these politicians stop lying and thinking we are all stupid???

    Agent99, its your site, i respect your decision, but you have it backwards. exposing the 9/11 cover-up would bring the whole house of corrupt cards down. election fraud has got you guys chasing your tail.its a very important issue, easily one of the most important, but you seriously have your priorities mixed up.oh well, your not as bad as C&L and KOS………….

    Chris

    It’s not my site. It’s Brad Friedman’s site… and the rest of us own it only insofar as we love it and try to make it the best place we can.

    Thank you for respecting my request, and I guess we should just agree to disagree on which is more urgent for the salvation of our democracy.

    Chris, I don’t think this is going to turn into a 9/11 site, although we think 9/11 was an inside job. Brad is going to focus on voting and electronic voting machine fraud, and vote fraud in general, such as GOP drives to disenfranchise black voters. The occassional 9/11 post by Brad, will get 1,000 comments, though…which shows you what we think of 9/11. I have never seen a post anywhere, that had close to 1,000 comments for a 9/11 subject.

    Monterey County won’t put the screws to this guy, because he just so happens to be the boyfriend of Monterey County Judge Lydia Villarreal. She and her MC cronies will get her boyfriend out of this jam and he’ll probably get a better and higher paying job, courtesy of his fuck buddy girlfriend.

    How was the National Associations of Secretary of States and Election Directors funded? Did they lobby against the EAC having authority to set standards on the voting machines?
