Elections programmer Jeffrey Dean was convicted on 23 counts of felony embezzlement by rigging a computer system to steal money from a law firm whose partners included Watergate figure Egil Krogh. He began working on elections programming while still in prison, on work release.
Diebold memos show that he was involved in development of GEMS central tabulator "double set of books," optical scan absentee "vote remote" system, and more. Shortly after being released from prison, together with John Elder, a narcotics trafficker Dean met in prison, Dean began doing computerized ballot printing and created mail-in ballot software, with a company called "Spectrum Print & Mail." He sold this company to another company, "Global Election Systems", which had been founded by three swindlers, two of whom did prison time (the third was ordered by the courts to pay hundreds of thousands in restitution for bilking investors.) Dean took a position as the main stockholder and head of programming for Global Election Systems; Diebold purchased Global Election Systems in 2002, retaining most of the programmers that built the swiss cheese "open for business" voting system.
More on the origins of Global Election Systems:

Transcripts of other documents from civil proceedings show that Jeffrey Dean was chummy with Los Angeles Registrar of voters Conny McCormack.

More, including detailed depositions by Jeffrey Dean with his explanation of his crimes and what he claims to have done with the money, can be found here in a series of court and legal documents associated with a subsequent civil trial and bankruptcy proceedings:

On page 17: "Defendant shall be required to notify anyone for whom he works, either as an employee or as an independent contractor, of his convictions, and shall not be allowed to [continued at the bottom of the page] possess or have control over [illegible] checks belong to [insert not legible] other [not legible]."
It would be good to know what was in the parts that didn't get copied. |

And on page 21:
I. Findings of Fact
Defendant's thefts occurred over a 2 1/2 year period of time, there were multiple incidents, more than the standard range can account for, the actual monetary loss was substantially greater than typical for the offense, the crimes and their cover-up involved a high degree of sophistication and planning in the use and alteration of records in the computerized accounting system that defendant maintained for the victim, and the defendant used his position of trust and fiduciary responsibility as a computer systems and accounting consultant for the victim to facilitate the commission of the offenses.
II. Conclusions of Law
The current offenses constitute a major economic series of offenses. Defendant's crimes (23 counts) are substantially more than the 10 counts that the SRA standard range grid takes into account. Substantial and compelling reasons justify an exceptional sentence above the standard range. |

Government is the servant of the people, and not the master of them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. We insist on remaining informed so that we may retain control over the instruments of government we have created.
