    Rolling Stone : Was the 2004 Election Stolen?

    Not that I didn’t already know. But hey, if Rolling Stone is saying it…

    We’ve got a media that uses its bullhorn in reverse—to turn down the volume on this outrage rather than turning it up. That’s why our citizens are not up in arms. Rep. John Conyers

    The Conyers Report: What Went Wrong in Ohio

    Bush stole the election(s), I wish I could say people are starting to realize it. The 1+ year old Conyers report (dated 05 January 2005), detailing all of the electoral transgressions that took place in Ohio last election.

    Republicans cheated in the 2004 election

    the floor under the legitimacy of their alleged election to the White House is crumbling.

    It’s stunning, but it seems that the result of both the 2000 and the 2004 presidential elections were illegitimate. George Bush should never have made it into the White House.

    Evidence Mounts That The Vote May Have Been Hacked

    In Dixie County, with 9,676 registered voters, 77.5% of them Democrats and a mere 15% registered as Republicans, only 1,959 people voted for Kerry, but 4,433 voted for Bush.
    The pattern repeats over and over again – but only in the counties where optical scanners were used.

    The biggest story of our lives

    And he most certainly was [Kerry, winning], at least if the votes had been fairly and legally counted. What happened instead was the biggest crime in the history of the nation, and the collective media silence which has followed is the greatest fourth-estate failure ever on our soil.

    The silence of traditional media on this subject is enough to establish their newfound bankruptcy. The revolution will have to start here.

    Kerry Suspects 2004 Vote Fraud

    I could have told you this a goddamn year ago. I just pray to god America won’t have to go through three more years of Bush – god knows what kind of shithole we could be by then.

    None Dare Call It Stolen (Harpers.org)

    This democracy can survive a plot to hijack an election. What it cannot survive is our indifference to, or unawareness of, the evidence that such a plot has succeeded.

    Preserving Democracy describes three phases of Republican chicanery: the run-up to the election, the election itself, and the post-election cover-up. The wrongs exposed are not mere dirty tricks (though Bush/Cheney also went in heavily for those) but specific violations of the U.S. and Ohio constitutions, the Voting Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1968, the National Voter Registration Act, and the Help America Vote Act. Although Conyers trod carefully when the report came out, insisting that the crimes did not affect the outcome of the race (a point he had to make, he told me,

    votefraud

    A florida programmer who claims to have coded prototype voting software with secret built in vote altering functions (give the party of your choice 51%) comes out about it. But who believes what they hear on the internet? I sure hope I could believe this…

    Did Bush win? Bush could not have won. Take Florida or Ohio. A switch of either would change the outcome. In reality Bush probably lost both.

    What can we do about it? Not only has another election been stolen but our democracy is now gone. The machines decide, not the voters. First and foremost, we must insist that the machine be replaced by machines that can be verified vote for vote. Integrity of the vote is paramount to democracy. The breakdown of trust in the system will rob this country of any legitimacy. We must force out of office any Republicans that have been benefited by this betrayal.

    My 2004 Reading List

    1373 days ago

    I figured for the end of the year I would log and link to all the entries for books I’ve read this year, all 34 of ‘em in descending order by date. I rated and wrote a little about all of them too, which was a lot more then I was planning on doing an hour ago.

    2004 was a great year! As good as most others at least, but only when you forget about that goddamn election.
