Velvet Revolution Calls On John McCain To Fire Michael Connell For Covering Up For Karl Rove In
Federal Election Manipulation Lawsuit
Velvet Revolution (“VR”, a non-profit dedicated to clean and accountable government,
today calls for Republican candidate John McCain to fire computer expert Michael Connell
from his campaign for covering up alleged election manipulations of Karl Rove and others.
Mr. Connell, the GOP’s top computer expert, was subpoenaed based on a September 19th
court order to testify under oath in an Ohio federal lawsuit looking into serious allegations
that Mr. Rove has directed a strategy to illegally manipulate elections through the use of
computer technology. Rather than cooperate in the investigation, Mr. Connell hired attorneys
close to the Bush/Cheney Administration and refused to appear for the deposition arguing
client (GOP) confidentiality. Those attorneys have said that they will do everything possible
to keep Mr. Connell from testifying before the November general election.
Mr. Connell’s refusal to comply with a federal subpoena looking into credible evidence that
the upcoming presidential election will be manipulated is at odds with John McCain’s
promise to run a clean campaign. Another GOP cyber security expert, Stephen Spoonamore,
has stated that Mr. Connell has vast experience and knowledge of the GOP computer
networks at issue in the federal lawsuit. Mr. Connell has admitted to Mr. Spoonamore “that in
his zeal to 'save the unborn' he may have helped others who have compromised elections.”
Cliff Arnebeck, the Ohio election attorney who issued the subpoena, said Friday that he is
aggressively moving to enforce the subpoena. “Mr. Connell has information about how the
votes are tabulated in key states in the upcoming election. In order to ensure that the election
is fair and accurate, Mr. Connell needs to testify under oath and pursuant to a lawful subpoena
about how these votes are tabulated, whether the tabulation will be compromised and whether
anyone has directed him to compromise those tabulations.”
According to federal filings, Mr. Connell is working for John McCain to help him win the
election. VR believes that unless Mr. Connell testifies under oath about his apparent
knowledge of election manipulations, Mr. McCain should fire him. If he does not, the
McCain campaign will appear to be in league with Mr. Connell to cover up criminal conduct
and engaging in election tampering. This will call into question the results of the November
election and again cast a shadow over our election process.
