Clint Curtis (born 1958) is a programmer who worked for Yang Enterprises
(YEI) in Oviedo, Florida until February 2001. Curtis is a
"whistleblower" whose allegations revolve around his employer YEI and a
highly connected Republican Congressman, Tom Feeney. After leaving YEI,
Curtis worked for the Florida Department of Transportation, but was
fired after he reported their illegal activities.

YEI is a provider of engineering and computer services to the government
and the private sector, and is run by Ms. Yang. At the time of the
alleged incidents, Feeney was simultaneously YEI's corporate attorney,
a registered lobbyist for YEI, and a member of Florida's House of
Representatives. He also maintained his election office in the YEI
building.

Allegations
Specifically he alleged that:

At the behest of Rep. Tom Feeney, in September 2000, he was asked to
write a program for a touchscreen voting machine that would make it
possible to change the results of an election undetectably. This
technology, explaned Curtis, could also be used in any electronic
tabulation machine or scanner. Curtis (a lifelong Republican) assumed
initially that this effort was aimed at detecting Democrat fraud, but
later learned that it was intended to benefit the Republican Party.
West Palm Beach was named as an intended target, but used punched card
ballots in the 2000 elections; Curtis explained that the software could
be used in any electronic tabulation machine or scanner. Curtis gave
testimony under oath about this to the House Judiciary Committee
Democrats on 2004-12-13.

YEI employed Hai Lin "Henry" Nee, an illegal Chinese national, to work
on a NASA contract and assisted him in passing secrets to the Chinese
government. This included large NASA databases that were downloaded by
the owner of the company and passed to Nee. Nee has since pled guilty
to violating export regulations and received a $100 fine and a 3 year
probation after admitting that he sent military secrets (missile
guidance chips) to Beijing over 20 times.

The owner's brother was deported for spying and that the owner
continuously passed information to this brother in China.
YEI defrauded the Florida Department of Transportation. They were later
found to have made "questionable charges" of $248,255. This was only a
preliminary finding as the department was not allowed access to either
the company's books or to interview their employees. Curtis filed a
legal action to force a full investigation of fraud against the state.

Investigations
Various people have investigated Curtis' claims, including Rep. John
Conyers, Sen. Bill Nelson, the FBI, and CREW. No one has yet to find a
single incident where Curtis allegations have been shown to be
incorrect.

Raymond C. Lemme, a Florida DOT investigator, spent about a year
investigating and told Curtis that he "had tracked the corruption 'all
the way to the top', that the story would 'break in the next few weeks'
and he would be satisfied with the results". This conversation occurred
two weeks before his unexpected death on June 30, 2003, an apparent
suicide in a town located 80 miles from where he resided.

On March 3, 2005, Curtis took a polygraph test. The test was given by
Tim Robinson, the retired chief polygraph operator and 20-year veteran
of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. In the results, Curtis
was found to be completely truthful in all his responses. The test was
based on all the allegations in the affidavit that was provided to
several members of Congress.
