The presidential election race is in high gear. The bad thing is that many U.S.A. states have found very severe flaws in the accuracy and security of their Diebold, Sequoia and other types of electronic voting machines.

Pennsylvania voters have actually sought an injunction to block the states purchase of electronic touch screen voting systems, because “voting systems do not create a permanent physical record of each vote and are not capable of a meaningful audit”.

In some states officials are going back to the paper ballots abandoned after the 2000 and 2004 Florida and Ohio Stolen Elections. Some poll workers and other convicted state officials are already serving terms for Election Fraud. Besides President Bush and Vice President Cheney there are most likely dozens hundreds of unelected public officials serving terms of office, as if they were properly elected. Just another Republican scandal played out against the unsuspecting American people.

And the fraud goes on: The states of Colorado, California, Ohio and Florida have found that the security that comes with touch screen voting systems is insufficient and poorly designed. A person who wanted to could disable the system and change vote totals. It has been stated that widely used voting equipment is not fit for elections.

“Every system that is out there, one state or another has found that they are no good,” said John Gideon of the advocacy group Voters Unite. “Everybody is starting to look at this now and starting to realize that there is something wrong.”

Voter-marked paper ballots which are optically scanned and manually re-countable provide an acceptably secure alternative, provided an effective audit is performed after the election,” Lopresti said.

“We shouldn’t be forced to trust unknown programmers or anyone else who might have access to the machines. With paper ballots, we can verify the results. Without paper, it’s faith-based voting,” Says Alan Brau, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit and a resident of Northampton County.

The propaganda machines want you to believe your vote counts, but there’s a conspiracy to steal your vote. The elections are rigged. And you wonder why I don’t vote. Big Brother would just steal my vote and decide for me anyways.

American Blackout chronicles the recurring patterns of black voters being deliberately and systematically excluded (disenfranchised) from voting. This was witnessed in the elections from 2000 to 2004 while following the story of Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who took an active role in investigating these election debacles, these debacles of democracy. American Blackout goes through Florida, Georgia, and Ohio examining the tactics used to control the vote and silence political dissent. Cynthia was demonized in the media after investigating this.

There is no such thing as a fair election, anymore. The fact is: in elections irregularities and new scandals are reported every day. GOP officials are deliberately using the law to keep black people off the rolls and hinder them from voting. And to exclude black voters is racism and fascism pure and simple. Since we are nearing November elections in in this country, this article is timely and fitting.

“…a muckracking indictment of … the systematic disenfranchisement of African American voters…” ~ Kenneth Turan, LA Times

The New York Times: Anger and Irregularities at the Voting Booth
“As we listen to voters complain about roadblocks and false felony records, and watch the endless lines of black voters standing patiently in the rain in Ohio, it’s impossible to ignore the gravity of the film’s claims.” “Ian Inaba assembles compelling evidence to support his claim that African-Americans — who are traditionally more likely to vote Democratic — are being deliberately and systematically excluded from the political process.”

This is only the beginning of how the election was stolen. So much vote rigging went on in just the Bush presidential elections, it’s almost impossible to chronicle it all. For instance, in Ohio workers were convicted of rigging the 2004 election.

And people in 2004 said that DIEBOLD machines ( black box voting ) were changing in front of their eyes. With no paper trail how can you document that?

Why I don’t Vote

Notable quotes on vote scamming

“I don’t want to get caught up in this thing!” — Joyce Dieffenderfer, former president of the League of Women Voters, after admitting the TV networks lied about hiring the League on election night.

“You’ll never prove it, now get out!” — Elton Davis, TV network computer programmer responsible for magically “projecting” 100% accurate vote results.

“This may be the biggest vote fraud scandal ever to rock the nation!” — Mike Wallace of “60 Minutes” upon reviewing the Votescam evidence. However, after meeting with his higher-up’s, Mr. Wallace dropped the issue like a vial of Anthrax.

“When you’re dealing with the networks, gentleman, you’re dealing with a shadow government.” — ABC Supreme Court correspondent, Tim O’Brien, explaining why the station refused to run video taped evidence of vote fraud.

This is America, not some third world country. What is this world coming to, when it takes foreign monitors to ensure a fair election in the U.S.A.? It really makes me wonder. We are supposed to have the greatest democracy on earth, but not anymore. America has lost confidence in the voting process. There is no such thing as a fair election, anymore. The fact is: in elections irregularities and new scandals are reported every day. The republicans are responsible for turning the election process into a joke. Is it any wonder that we need international monitors to protect us from tyranny?

I knew the election was rigged and so did a lot of other people. Now the proof is starting to come in. All of this because Ohio was what gave Bush the votes he needed to win.

Ohio election workers convicted of rigging ‘04 presidential recount

CLEVELAND Two election workers were convicted Wednesday of rigging a recount of the 2004 presidential election to avoid a more thorough review in Ohio’s most populous county.

Jacqueline Maiden, elections coordinator of the Cuyahoga County Elections Board, and ballot manager Kathleen Dreamer each were convicted of a felony count of negligent misconduct of an elections employee. They also were convicted of one misdemeanor count each of failure of elections employees to perform their duty.

Prosecutors accused Maiden and Dreamer of secretly reviewing preselected ballots before a public recount on Dec. 16, 2004. They worked behind closed doors for three days to pick ballots they knew would not cause discrepancies when checked by hand, prosecutors said.

Defense attorney Roger Synenberg has said the workers were following procedures as they understood them.

Ohio gave President Bush the electoral votes he needed to defeat Democratic Sen. John Kerry in the close election and hold on to the White House in 2004.
