He then commented on some Sequoia voting systems issues that were the topic of a Chicago based press conference, “the first screen has a glitch where if you hold your finger on the screen, votes are assigned to specific candidates”. Well, isn’t THAT special! What was even more special was when broadcast host Mary Ann Gould commented, “If it keeps going this way John, I may be in favor of all paper ballots”! Yes!

Dr. Steve Freeman came next to the conversation, and opened with commentary about “Discrepancies in the New Hampshire primary”. He noted that, curiously, “Obama leads in the pre polls, but Hillary wins on election night”. This flies in the face of his “anticipating a repeat of Iowa”.

While admitting that it is, “all highly speculative” he said, “The FIX IS IN for Hillary for a lot of reasons”. “Bill Clinton pursued a Republican agenda while in office” pointed out Dr. Freeman, and, “Hillary has been a very conservative democrat in congress”. He then reminded the listeners that “Hillary received the largest donations from arms manufacturers and Wall Street”! Yup, always follow the money!

He then moved on to tell us that, “New Hampshire has a long history of unexpected outcomes”. This may be due to the ugly reality that “LHS, one small company counts 81% of the counties” said Freeman. He said that, “where votes were counted by hand, Obama prevailed” and “where votes were counted by machine, Hillary prevailed”. It may be of little coincidence, but of major concern that these machines are those same fatally flawed systems as seen in the documentary “Hacking Democracy”. Dr. Freeman further suggested that it may also be of little coincidence that, “machines were used in the larger and more urban districts”, “ where Obama should have done better”.

Mary Ann then asked about “Back Room Results”. She and Dr. Freeman then shared their concerns that LHS, “has secret software to do the counting”, and that contrary to the concept of transparency, “votes are being counted in secret in this country”. “Despite what the exit polls were saying, Hillary won” exclaimed Dr. Freeman!

Closing the action packed broadcast was IT professional Bruce O’Dell. He stated that “all of the anomalies are very distinctive”. He validated what Dr. Freeman had said earlier about the pattern of favorable results for Hillary in those counties and precincts where machines were used. The side by side results for “Obama versus Edwards were not as remarkable with inconsistency” said O’Dell.

Mary Ann surrendered the last two minutes of the program to both Mr. O’Dell and Dr. Freeman, and they closed with a lesson from New Hampshire observation. “We may never be able to prove what happened in New Hampshire” and that if the standards of elections were transferred to the financial industry that, “criminal culpability” would be assigned to those responsible.

Yes, what America is witnessing and suffering because of the convoluted thinking of our elected representatives (Rush Holt omitted), and because of the avarice and greed of a nebulous collection of profiteers is criminal in its outcome, if not its intent.
