1991

August 6, 1991, Jeffery Dean was sentenced and would serve 4 years in prison.

Harpers reports that, while in prison, Dean & Elder developed vote by mail software that came to dominate the US absentee market https://harpers.org/archive/2012/11/how-to-rig-an-election/5/

1995, Shortly after Jeffrey Dean got out of prison , Spectrum Print & Mail got into ballot printing and designing software for elections.

The Deans were rewarded for Jeffrey Dean’s ballot printing and election software programming work in a $4 million buyout by Global Election Systems shortly before election 2000.

In September 2000, Global bought a company owned by convicted felon Jeffrey Dean and made him senior vice president and Bob Urosevich became COO.

The Deans became the largest stockholders of Global Election Systems, and Jeffrey Dean took a position on the board of directors.

Global then hired cocaine trafficker, John Elder (who met Dean in prison), to oversee punch card printing in several states a few months later.

This ballot printing plant, using software Dean claims to have developed, handles ballot printing and mail-ballot processing for counties like King County (WA) and Los Angeles County, Fresno County, San Diego County, Alameda County (CA), and for the state of Georgia and many other locations.

2003 deposition, Jeffrey Dean claims that his contact with Global was always Pat Green—but Green is a Diebold employee, not a Global Election Systems employee. Yet Diebold claims it hasn’t worked with Jeffrey Dean.

The Dean’s ballot printing company was acquired by Diebold in the Global Election Systems acquisition.

January 2002, Diebold Inc. purchased Spectrum Print and Mail Ltd through the acquisition of Global Election Systems.
