The circus in Maricopa County, AZ is still going hard and strong. This is a true story of election fraud and cover-up. Some PA counties are starting to talk about how much money they are going to lose because the counties have not had a chance to choose their voting systems. It’s clearly a scare tactic….

      John

      I want to know if we can get a special prosecutor and start railing the offices in Arizona…Appoint one to the case, because it looks like Arizona is election fraud central.

      And we want to beat back every neocon there for sure!

      Any more updates?

      DougE –
      Nothing new right now. Maricopa County is the county that has Sheriff Joe Arapaio who has been on 60 Mins and other news programs. He has the county jail that is a bunch of big tents and has the inmates doing chain gang work. The prisoners do some work for elections like opening envelopes. He has given special priveleges to inmates to change votes or add votes, especially when he is a candidate. The county is corrupt.

      The only way anything is going to be changed and the truth uncovered is to put an army of people in the streets who refuse to go home until everything is brought out into the open for all to see. That will get the media involved. Otherwise, there will be no sense in going to polls ever again. As it stands now, the game is rigged.

      I keep praying that someone (Dem, Ind, whatever) will emerge that is head and shoulders above anything the Repugs (Jeb, McCain) has to offer, that he blows them away! This individual will have the "speak" to rebut the fear and other stupid nonsense that spews from reps mouths AND voters will recognize it.

      Big Dan: Not in pennsylvania..

      You know why? The touch screen voting machines are gone and Diebold has been barred from the state along with Unilect. They are negotiating final audit legislation and guidelines.

      Doug, I think my point is that, of the "big 3" swing states, Florida-Ohio-Pa, Kerry won Pa so no one is paying much attention to the obvious fraud in Pa. It’s sort of the forgotten swing state, because people say, "well, Kerry won Pa. anyway".

      BUT…there was a huge swing in Pa. from exit polls to final count—bigger than Ohio. These numbers are from whatreallyhappened, but the same numbers are available on many websites:

      Exit Poll Shifts 2004 Election

      Do you agree that the exit poll to final count discrepancy in Pa has taken a huge backseat to Florida & Ohio, because Kerry won the state? But people don’t realize that the discrepancy in votes in Pa was a great contributor to Bush’s supposed 3 million vote popular win.

      Professors of statistics at colleges and universities concluded that the odds of exit poll to final count shifts, just in those 3 swing states, randomly all going one way towards Bush, are 250-million-to-1.

      Notice, not by coincidence ALL 3 SWING STATES are listed in the "beyond curiosity" shift (not within margin of error). Kerry won Wisconsin, Pa., New Hampshire, and Minnesota, but look at all the swings from the exit polls to final count, in all those states. That is a big reason Bush came up with a 3 million vote popular win.

      Do you blame me for being concerned about Pa? I hope you’re right, Doug. I’m no Kerry fan, btw.
