After discussing the schedule (about halfway through), Howse pulls out a printout of Chapter 8 of the Bev Harris book, Black Box Voting: Ballot Tampering In The 21st Century / 2003.
(Link below to an earlier comment with more detail about the book in general, links to Bev Harris videos about the history of voting machine companies, and link to free pdf /by chapter / of the book, Black Box Voting.)

Below is a link to Chapter 16 and select excerpts. Bev Harris (knowingly IMO) bird dogs the moment when Regional Unorganized Election Corruption (RUEC) meets National Organized Election Corruption (NUEC).
To really appreciate what is recorded in this chapter and feel its impact, including Bev Harris' final conclusions on the origins and nascent syndication of election corruption in the United States I highly recommend reading the book. Georgia election corruption co-stars in this documentary waiting in the wings book. And if you think you know what went wrong with the 2000 election in Florida...

Chapter 16 (p.217, 218)
Pay No Attention To The Men Behind the Curtain
(This chapter in collaboration with David Allen)
If you are inclined to let other people fix this problem for you, please remember that “other people” are already hard at work to change your voting system to suit their own agenda and profit margin. These other people may have a different view of democracy from yours.
What are their plans? Let’s look behind the curtain at a secret meeting that took place at 11:30 a.m. August 22, 2003. Invitations were sent out to all the makers of computer voting machines and included the following agenda:
TAA eVoting Industry Coalition DRAFT Plan, Activities, and Pricing Purpose:
Create confidence and trust in the elections industry and promote the adoption of technology-based solutions for the elections industry.
Repair short-term damage done by negative reports and media coverage of electronic voting.
Over the mid- to long-term, implement strategy that educates key constituencies about the benefits of public investments in electronic voting, voter registration and related applications.
The Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) is a lobbying firm that specializes in getting special treatment for tech-nology companies.
In this proposal, the ITAA is trying to get hired to provide assistance to Diebold, Sequoia, ES&S and other voting-machine vendors to get the public to accept their products. Not to correct the flaws in their products, mind you, and not to do any type of “customer survey” to find out what we voters actually want. The idea is for these for-profit companies to define our democratic voting system and then invest in a PR campaign to show us that we like their system.
According to the ITAA, you should never use the word “lobby” because it has negative connotations in the mind of the public. Instead you should “educate key constituencies.”
(Chapter 16, p 226)
The Election Systems Task Force
One participant wanted to know if the “Election Systems Task Force” (who?) would be reconstituted or reformatted. Though I can find out nothing about this group on the Internet, the answers to this question were illuminating.
A voice, apparently belonging to R. Doug Lewis, said that they have been “more focused on the HAVA legislation but would be interested in meeting with this group.” He went on to explain that the major companies involved in the Election Systems Task Force are Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Accenture and EDS (defense contractors and procurement agencies).
The goal of the Election Systems Task Force, he said, was very limited, because they just wanted to get the HAVA legislation enacted to create more business opportunities for themselves as integrators. Their agenda for HAVA, he said, was, “How do we get Congress to fund a move to electronic voting?
As mentioned earlier, more than one guest attended the meeting. When I heard this astounding admission, I wanted more documentation. I will tell you this much: I listened to it myself, and this part of the conversation sounds even worse on tape. HAVA was pushed through to create business opportunities for defense contractors and procurement companies. HAVA = Let’s-make-a-buck-on-a-vote.
In the segment I listened to, they mentioned that there were about twelve members of the Election Systems Task Force.

R. Doug Lewis (p.52, 53)
What government agency is the Election Center connected with? None: The Election Center is a private, nonprofit entity set up during the late 1980s. Who set it up? Some people in Washington, D.C., whose names are not published. Who provided its seed money? No one seems to know. Who runs the Election Center now? A man named R. Doug Lewis, who was not elected by anyone.
What are the credentials of R. Doug Lewis? With some persistence, I located a bio for Doug Lewis, (16) but all it said was that he was an assistant to the president in the White House (doesn’t say which president); that he ran campaigns for various important politicians (doesn’t name any of them); that he headed the Democratic Party for the states of Texas and Kansas (doesn’t say what years); and that he consulted for the petrochemical industry (doesn’t say what company). With a little more digging, I found that he “managed affairs” for former Texas governor John Connally.
The Election Center works with the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS), the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED) and the International Association of Clerks, Recorders, Election Officials and Treasurers (IACREOT).
When election officials want to know if these voting machines can be trusted, they ask R. Doug Lewis. I’m sure R. Doug Lewis is a terrific guy. (The feeling apparently isn’t mutual; he hangs up on me when I call him.) But what I do want to know is this: What specific credentials qualify him for the critical work of overseeing the security of voting systems in the United States? Who appointed him? I called The Election Center to ask about certification and was told that the only person who could answer my questions was R. Doug Lewis.
