Lexis-Nexis would be a worthwhile exercise now for every one of these search terms pertaining to the origins of Global Election Systems: This firm was a wholly owned subsidiary of North American Professional Technologies, Inc., which was in turn a wholly owned subsidiary of MacroTrends Ventures International, Ltd. Charles Hong Lee is one of the principals with these firms; He has been tied in the press to participation in a scheme to bilk immigrants out of some $47 million; he is also connected with a scandal in which a Mr. Graye was prosecuted, relating to Vinex Wines. Charles Hong Lee was also involved with something called "The Vancouver Maneuver," a stock pump & dump scheme that bilked investors out of millions in connection with an entertainment company and something called Beverly Development. Charles Hong Lee was a principal with Global Election Systems, along with the late Clinton Rickards. Talbot Iredale, currently the V.P. for Research and Development for Diebold Election Systems, began with the company in 1991, right around the time the Vancouver Maneuver was exposed in Barron's magazine. This is the pedigree from whence the Diebold Memos arose. Sophia Lee may or may not be related to Charles Hong Lee (they are both from Vancouver, they are both originally from Hong Kong, but there are perhaps 10,000 people in Vancouver with the last name of "Lee" -- among the dozen people working for Diebold in Vancouver are Sophia Lee and Whitman Lee). Sophia Lee was in San Luis Obispo County, California on the day that a vote tally mysteriously popped up on the Internet five hours before the polls closed; she is the support tech for King County, Washington which Diebold principal engineer Ken Clark refers to as being "famous for" doing end runs around the voting system using a Microsoft Access hack, and her name is referenced in a strange series of memos for Volusia County, Florida in which programmers and techs discuss the unexplained appearance of an illicit set of votes that replaced the correct set. Yes, that's right: 16,022 votes were removed from Al Gore's tally on election night when a mysterious, and now "lost" memory card uploaded and overwrote the correct totals. These disappearing votes were noticed by a clerk, who set alarm bells ringing and the tally was corrected, but Diebold programmers now say, in the memos, that the replacement vote upload can't be found. They concede that an extra vote upload was done, and Vice President of research Talbot Iredale says in the memos that it may have been illicit. The Volusia County memos then say something like "You never know when the "boogie man is reading these," suggesting caution. ====================================
