		<description>I find it amusing that this &quot;Dream Team&quot; used innovative extortion to obtain funding from the NSF to create a money making, grant getting, book publishing and lecture series giving new e-voting technology. These &quot;academics&quot; with no election administration experience, created for their own personal gain a crisis in the U.S. election environment – they intentionally played on the fears of average Americans. 
The adage of follow the money could not be more true here than anywhere else: Rubin et al create the crisis, extort money from NSF – money the Election Assistance Commission was supposed to authorize but was bypassed, Rubin gets the money, funnels it to Dill, Wagner, Jefferson, and others to promote their own personal agenda for creating &quot;a new and reliable e-voting system.&quot;  Create the crisis, develop the solution.  Who is vetting these people? What puts them above suspicion that they are manipulating the election process? How did they become more reliable than the people who are professionals in the industry?
Here is a news flash - as long as you have people involved in the election process, you&#039;ll have problems and challenges. There has been NO LEGALLY proven documented case brought before the courts to substantiate voting machines stole any election - none, nada, zip. Check it out unless you think ALL the US Courts are collaborating together. It is only antidotal evidence by people who say &quot;they saw a vote flip.&quot; I am sure you know the most unreliable people in a legal case are actual witnesses - what they see has been repeatedly proven to be unreliable intensified by already predisposed bias. 
The true fifth columnist in this election crisis saga, are the so called &quot;Dream Team.&quot; Like I said, follow the money, and see where it leads.</description>
