Election software company Scytl on the run from the Free Press, from 1

fake address to the next

The Free Press has previously reported, Scytl, a Barcelona based

e-voting company will be counting votes in 26 states. They will be

doing so through something called the Federal Overseas Voting Program

or FVAP. FVAP is a program designed to allow military personnel and

other overseas Americans to vote in their home districts seamlessly

through electronically delivered absentee ballots.

 

Intercepting and changing these ballots, as well as voting

electronically on behalf of service people that have no idea such a

thing is happening, is something that Scytl is uniquely positioned to

do because of their cellphone spyware sister company, CarrierIQ. These

stolen votes, distributed throughout jurisdictions across the country,

could become a critical component of any scheme to defraud the 2012

presidential election. By means of changing a relatively small number

of votes, and laundering those stolen votes in the correct places, the

net effect would be a near silent theft.

 

The Columbus Dispatch reported on Sunday, October 21 that in Ohio,

“The campaign of Republican Mitt Romney plans to station Election Day

Task Force members to record the name of every voter who walks through

the door and feed it to a “national command center” database in Boston

as part of an unprecedented high-tech get-out-the-vote effort.”

 

Sources at Smartech, the company responsible for stealing the election

in Ohio in 2004, revealed to Free Press journalist Jill Simpson Scytl

would launch the next man in the middle attack from its US

headquarters, a location in suburban Virginia that its managing

director, Hugh Gallagher, formerly owned, and seems to serve as his

private home. We believe it was Hugh who watched from the windows as

our investigators photographed the home.

 

Scytl is not the only election related business to have been run out

of Mr. Gallagher’s seemingly crowded residence.

Since 2004, some shell company called Election Training Inc.

has called some part of Mr. Gallagher’s 5-bedroom home its

headquarters. A phone records check on Election Training’s number

yielded us something called Election Systems Acquisitions and

Management, also at the same address, allegedly founded in 2002 but

listing Sctyl as its Website. Scytl entered the US elections market on

January 11, 2012, when it announced its acquisition of Tampa based SOE

software. SOE software is elec- tion management software that

specializes in Internet voting and election results reporting in 900

jurisdictions in 26 states.

What exactly Elections Systems Acquisitions and Management did for the

decade preceding this event is at best obscure.

 

On September 28th, the day after the Free Press published the address

and photo of Scytl headquarters, their vice president for media

relations and governmental affairs, Michelle Shafer (See Why are legal

scholars dismissing election fraud?: Manufactured skepticism and exit

polls)

http://www.freepress.org/departments/display/19/2012/4754

of Austin Texas, filed an official change of address form with the

United States Election Assistance Commission. In just 24 hours, in the

middle of a presidential election, Scytl USA miraculously relocated to

Baltimore, Maryland.
