Diebold, located in North Canton, Ohio, does its primary business in ATM and ticket-vending machines. Critics of Diebold point out that virtually every other machine the company makes provides a paper trail to verify the machine
When does Diebold get sued for election fraud?
The chances are slim that it hasn’t.
80% of all votes in America are counted by only two companies: Diebold and ES&S.
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.
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.
It was my first chance at the poll booth, and I took advantage of it. Not much to say. There was an education levy on the ballot, which was just a little 4×4 square of yellow paper.
I just couldn’t not vote. I’m sure pissed enough about politics these days (you couldn’t tell?). And it’s not just your right as a citizen, it’s your responsibility. Not voting ought void your membership to the democracy or something.
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.
My Election 2004 posts.
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.
