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

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 Hackedvia Kjell Olsen1024 days ago
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 livesvia Kjell Olsen1024 days ago
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.

Thu, 27 Oct 2005 08:09:15 GMT Government Accounting Office report confirms key 2004 stolen election findingsvia Kjell Olsen1044 days agoIn essence, the GAO study makes it clear that no bank, grocery store or mom & pop chop shop would dare operate its business on a computer system as flimsy, fragile and easily manipulated as the one on which the 2004 election turned.
The exit polls showed Kerry winning in Ohio, until an unexplained last minute shift gave the election to Bush. Similar definitive shifts also occurred in Iowa, Nevada and New Mexico, a virtual statistical impossibility.
Now that proof of a stolen election is coming from the white house itself, what will it take to throw bush out?

Fri, 09 Sep 2005 13:03:00 GMT None Dare Call It Stolen (Harpers.org)via Kjell Olsen1092 days agoThis 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,

Tue, 08 Mar 2005 20:18:00 GMT votefraudvia Kjell Olsen1277 days agoA 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.
