Hillsborough County Not Swayed by Example of Ultimate Sacrifice

The comments we delivered yesterday, April 4, 2012. We come in around 1:02:2 (Link here). Despite honoring a young Hillsborough resident who died fighting for our liberties and freedoms in Afghanistan this year, the commissioners wouldn't lift a finger, or even discuss protecting the right to vote when asked. Instead, they immediately discussed stray cats and hockey. Unified in silent disinterest regarding the integrity of the voting rights of all citizens.

This is how America works today. Young people die protecting our freedoms overseas, while our own public officials sell those freedoms on the cheap to corporations, right out from under our noses.


MY NAME IS DAVID KEARNS,
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, IN 32
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, IN
321 PALM BAY, FLORIDA.
I'VE COME TO TALK ABOUT THE
SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS AS I
HAVE MANY TIMES BEFORE.
THIS MORNING WE HAD MENTION OF
A FALLEN SERVICE MEMBER, AND
I'D LIKE EACH OF US TO REFLECT
UPON THE FACT THAT THEY UPHOLD
AN OATH TO PROTECT AND DEFEND
THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED
STATES, AND THEY RISK MORE
THAN THEIR POLITICAL CAREERS
OR POLITICAL EXPEDIENCE, THEY
RISK THEIR LIVES, AND
SOMETIMES THEY PAY WITH THEIR
LIVES.
I KNOW YOU'RE WITH ME THIS
MORNING, I KNOW YOU HEAR ME,
AND I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO DO
THE RIGHT THING BECAUSE WE'RE
COURAGEOUS HERE.
WE HAVE TO BE AFTER HAVING
INVOKED THE NAME OF A FALLEN
SERVICE MEMBER.
WHAT I BRING TO YOU HERE IS
THE FINAL ANSWER FROM THE
SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS OFFICE
CONCERNING THE ELECTION
NOVEMBER 2nd, 2010.
THIS IS THE FINAL ANSWER FROM
DOMINION VOTING.
IT SAYS THAT THEIR MACHINE, AS
COMMISSIONER SHARPE HAD ASSURED
ME IN JANUARY, THE OSX SERIAL
NUMBER 499 WAS DEFECTIVE.
THE QUESTIONS THAT REMAIN, THIS
MACHINE CODED MEMORY CARDS,
WHICH WERE THEN SENT OUT TO
EARLY VOTING PLACES, RESULTING
IN THE RESCANNING OF 38,000
BALLOTS.
THERE'S NO ANSWER FROM THE
SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS WHY ONE
DEFECTIVE MACHINE OUT OF
SEVERAL -- AND I COUNTED FIVE
WHEN I WAS IN THAT OFFICE --
WAS CHOSEN TO CODE THESE CARDS
FOR EARLY VOTING.
WHY ALL 12 MEMORY CARDS WERE
CODED ON THAT DEFECTIVE
MACHINE, NO ANSWER.
WHY NO TEST OF THE MEMORY CARDS
PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OUT TO
EARLY VOTING, NO ANSWER.
WE HAVE A SIMILAR GLITCH
RECENTLY IN PALM BEACH COUNTY,
OKAY.
PALM BEACH COUNTY HAD A GLITCH
THAT ACTUALLY OVERTURNED THE
ELECTION RESULT FOR TWO COUNCIL
MEMBERS.
THEY HAD TO LEAVE THEIR SEATS
BECAUSE DOMINION, AGAIN, ADMITS
TO SCREWING UP.
WHY WE STILL USE THESE MACHINES
WHY WE STILL USE THESE
MACHINES, AGAIN, NO ANSWER.
I'VE ASKED YOU TO CALL THE
DIVISION OF ELECTIONS, CONTACT
THEM AS A BODY BECAUSE THEY
DON'T LISTEN TO CITIZENS
ANYMORE, THEY LISTEN TO BODIES,
THEY LISTEN TO CORPORATIONS,
OKAY.
SO I'VE ASKED YOU TO CALL THEM
AND CALL FOR AN INVESTIGATION
INTO THE ELECTION NOVEMBER 2nd,
2010.
I KNOW SOME OF YOU ACHIEVED THE
BENEFIT OF YOUR SEATS, BUT
YOU'RE COURAGEOUS, OKAY.
YOU RISK LESS THAN THAT YOUNG
MAN RISKED IN GETTING INTO A
VEHICLE AND DYING THAT DAY.
IT'S NOT ONLY THE ETHICAL THING
TO DO, IT'S YOUR OATH TO
PRESERVE, PROTECT, DEFEND THE
CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED
STATES AND THE CONSTITUTION OF
THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT, YOU NEED
TO LOOK IN THE CAMERA AND
EXPLAIN WHY IN THE ANCHOR
COUNTY ALONG THE I-4 FACING
2012 WE DON'T WORRY ABOUT THIS
COMING ELECTION, FACED WITH
THIS EVIDENCE THAT THESE
MACHINES DO NOT WORK AT BEST OR
ARE BEING USED AS A PRETEXT TO
STEAL ELECTIONS.
