However, the questions in the deposition on Monday will be much narrower, limited to his relationship with Karl Rove, how an "intelligent  man in the middle" computer can change the tabulation of the vote, how a remote Trojan Horse computer program can manipulate the tabulation in real time as the statewide count is being tallied and effect the outcome of an election, and how the GOP company Triad was able to help rig the 2004 vote in Ohio. Some of Connell�s testimony may  be made public before the election. You can see Connell's picture beside the website he designed for McCain, atwww.velvetrevolutio www.  and there is more information at www.RoveCyberGate. www

    In the past, Michael Connell has set up websites for Bush/Quayle, Jeb Bush for Governor, Bush/ Cheney, Katherine Harris (in Florida 2000), Saxby Chambliss (who ran against Max Cleland in 2002),   SwiftBoat Veterans, Ken Blackwell (Ohio in 2004), US House Judiciary Committee, US House Intelligence Committee, US Chamber of Commerce, and now McCain/Palin. Evidence indicates that he has been at the scene of many stolen elections. Now we are beginning to understand how it was done with computers inserted invisibly into the process of tabulating the vote before the outcome is announced. Connell may well be innocent of any wrong doing. He may have only programmed the computers while others, like Karl Rove designed and carried out the dirty work. It will be for the judge to decide if he, or higher ups, are guilty. But light is being shed on his shady history and he is going to be held accountable.

    Preparing for his court hearing on Friday and deposition this Monday, Connell was surely distracted from any last minute fine tuning of his election tampering network.    Even more important, he knows that the gig is up, people are on to him and that a federal judge is watching his every move. He knows that he might go to jail if he doesn't tell who told him to do what, -implicate higher ups. And this may make the higher ups, the unseen ones calling the shots, disinclined to throw another election to the Republicans. 

They may figure it is not worth going to jail to hack another election to put McCain and Palin into the White House. Each individual one of them has to be asking;  Is this worth the risk of going to jail?  

Accountability  and the rule of law is finally catching up with them.    Work exposing this scandal, crime against democracy, began four years ago when Brett Kimberlin, the founder of Justice Through Music, realized that elections were being electronically manipulated.  He went to Rep. John Conyers who listened and decided to have hearings on it. Kimberlin put up rewards for insider information on election fraud on the Internet and heard from a lot of whistleblowers. He had to discern who was for real and what information was corroborated by others.  Sifting through loads of  information,  Kimberlin began to recognize patterns and connections between people that offered up a map of how elections had been hacked, like putting together a complex  jig saw puzzle of election fraud. While many people have been involved, some are public figures like Karl Rove, Jack Abramoff, Susan Ralston, Rep. Bob Ney,  others like Michael Connell have kept a very low profile and worked quietly behind the scenes, programming computers and setting up networks.
