Election Fraud 2006
by Mark Yannone
Citizens for Legitimate Government is already tracking election irregularities this year. Once again, it's not a pretty sight.
One point about the touchscreen voting scam machines that I believe has yet to be made by anyone so far is this: Just because a machine prints a paper record doesn't mean that record will be used for a recount. If it's not machine-readable, a judge could easily agree with an objecting county elections department that a manual recount of a paper record is just too tedious to justify.
"Your honor, we just don't have the time, money, manpower, or cojones to do a recount of that magnitude! Give us a break!"
In Arizona, we don't even have a law that ALLOWS a party to challenge the vote count, let alone force a recount . . . let alone force a tedious manual recount by a whining county elections department that just wants to "move on."
Get away from me, boy, you bother me. Dismissed. So sayeth the Superior Court judge in Maricopa County, Arizona, when asked to order a proper count of write-in ballots in this year's primary election. The recount task was tiny, and the urgent request was prompted by hard evidence of very sloppy procedures that almost kept one candidate off the ballot but for the heroic efforts of the Maricopa County Libertarian Party. But since no law compels the county to count write-in ballots when challenged, all further efforts fell on deaf ears, and no more ballots were counted.
This, too, is crap:
Adams County's 2006 Elections will utilize new touch screen voting machines in all vote centers and at early voting. These machines are state-of-the-art technology and have been certified by both the Federal government and the Colorado Secretary of State. They have a Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) to allow voters to review and verify their votes before casting their ballot.
(Oh, look. A piece of paper that matches the way I voted. How useless. Now the machine can do whatever the hell the programmer or hacker wants it to do. But at least it's new and expensive. At least we've got that going for us, not to mention a nice VVPAT.)
No worries, mate!
(CBS, 6/10/2005) Buddy Johnson, Hillsborough [Florida] Supervisor of Elections:
"Our systems are very secure the voters are confident, they love the machines for the most part." [Run-on sentences and comma splices are standard in Florida's government schools.]
But when the message "Are We having Fun Yet?" appeared on the screen of a voting machine in test in Tallahassee last week, new concerns arose that the machines can be hacked.
(Really? New concerns, eh? What about issues? Did you have any issues to go with those concerns?)
Undeterred by reality staring him in the face, Buddy Johnson, Hillsborough [Florida] Supervisor of Elections, continues [and the reporter dutifully but ignorantly writes]:
"By definition it can't happen, because there is no connection to the internet. Can't hack in to it, there is no way to get in to it."
Attorney Mark Kamleiter, arguing for a paper backup, brings new material to the table [with comma splice, sans terminal punctuation]:
"Computers crash, computers have glitches"
At that point, Buddy Johnson, Hillsborough [Florida] Supervisor of Elections, straightens everybody out:
"I don’t think it is necessary, but if one is certified for our equipment I would be the first one to look at it." [Source]

Don't you think if they wanted us to know the truth, they'd just say, "The machines are rigged to calculate the votes we want so the people we want in office can get in." And they'd continue by explaining, "We need you all to get out to pretend to vote to a) justify these totally cool touchscreen things; and b) to give the world the impression that you all still have some control."
But they won't. What's the point. It's so blooming obvious to everyone they simply expect us to play along. The test run--Bush's election theft--went well enough. If it wasn't for those pesky recounts and ballot tallies, they'd have been on easy street. It was so costly and annoying.
Now, with these clever voting machines, they get what they want -- the chance to put whomever they like into office. And we supposedly get what we want -- the chance to cast a ballot (even if it is worthless).
Anybody out there taking bets about those lawbreaking incumbents who spent the past two years stealing our hard-earned money, taking us merrily into war to kill our sons and daughters, and stripping us of our GOD-given, formerly Constitutionally-protected rights? I'd like to bet that most get to keep their jobs. We won't be voting to keep them in, but...
Well, who wants to just go for coffee on Election Day and giggle at people going to vote?
The GOP claims to hate everything connected with Communism but the sure learned the old Marxist saw, "The # of votes don't count; it's who counts the votes." very well. Look at 2000, 2002, 2004.
