| Election Fraud Evidence Mounting |
Hard evidence is mounting of errors in electronic voting booth tallies. Do we want the same thing to happen in the next election? |
| Sample errors |
| In some counties -- all using electronic machines -- more votes for President were recorded than there were actual voters in the counties. In several Florida counties, over 80% of registered voters are Democrats, but Diebold machines said up to 74% of the county voted for Bush. In Ohio's Mahoning and Mercer Counties, the electronic machines had to be re-set, and at one point showed votes of "negative 25 million," according to the head of the local board of elections. Some errors favored Kerry as well.
Watch this astounding movie from early 2004 researching the electronic voting booths, including a demo of how to change vote tallies. |
| Pending Legislation |
| http://www.blackboxvoting.org This heavy-hitting group is focusing on getting legislators to do something about the fraud. They've been lobbying to do something about this for a year BEFORE the election. Now they're geared up to bring attention to it. http://indyvoter.org Ohio calls a town hall meeting about it. |

| A cell phone photo of a voting machine |
 Want to know what this image is? It's a picture I took with my cellphone-camera of an electronic voting machine screen. I took it today when I went down to vote for the next President of the Unites States in Santa Clara California. The screen says "Vote Save Error #9. Use the Backup Voting Procedure." A news crew was on hand to film Californians using the voting machines. I pointed to this particular screen and said "There's your story - right there. I just took a picture of the screen and plan to share it with 6.4 billion of my closest friends on the Internet tonight. I suggest you do the same." To my astonishment, the cameraman did shoot some footage of the screen, though I don't know what was shown later on television. Now that I've told you the story behind the picture, I need not mention the maelstrom of thoughts that go through my head whenever I look at it - the picture is testament enough. The next revolution will not be televised. The next revolution will be blogged. This says it all. Posted somehwere by David. |
