‘Daily Voting News’ For January 27, 2007

Share article:

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org

The Election Assistance Commission and Commissioner Paul DeGregorio make every attempt to convince the voter that 98% of them had confidence in the last election, even pointing to a fictitious exit poll as evidence. The Fort Worth Star Telegram [see below] correctly reports, “After a year in which voters across the state expressed a lack of confidence in election returns, several lawmakers are pushing measures including a backup system for electronic voting machines, last-minute registration and required proof of citizenship.”…

      several lawmakers are pushing measures including a backup system for electronic voting machines,

      That’s like a COPY of UNVALIDATABLE DATA FOLKS!

      Let’s say I root your box, and your trying to restore your box to figure out what happened, well, I Just whip out my rooted version of your box again.

      last-minute registration and required proof of citizenship.”…

      Problem: BE A GOOD NAZI AND SHOW ZE PAPERS!?

      Voter: But you mailed me the damned sample ballot.

      Problem: SHOW ZE PAPER!

      Voter: okay, here I got a brand new Drivers license.

      Problem: WRONG ADDRESS, SHOW ZE PAPERS!

      Voter: What the fuck you asshole!? I am a fucking vet!

      Problem: Shall I call the cops?

      Voter: Maybe you should motherfucker! Before I uphold my 2nd amendment right to protect the constitution!

      Okay, a little over the top, but so is the re-direction of your vote. This has to stop. It just has to. It’s bullshit you know it is, you know they are doing it, even though on their SOS websites, they play like they are all following the law and shit.

      Ask yourself, how much bandwidth and electronic details and trouble did the SOS have before electronics were introduced to this fucking process.

      Okay, I can’t stop cussing..

      I don’t think it’s so over the top, Phil. I know a lot of us have broken almost everything in our houses from our frustrated rage. Your post somehow made me think we should have quarterly elections, work the living birdbrains right out of their cheating minds: help us oust the wastrels, warmongers and vampire capitalists… plus give us plenty of opportunity to uphold our rights to protect the Constitution. It wouldn’t take so long then to Constitution-uphold these miserable pigs all the way out of our faces.

      On the first link, Wiley must be hiding something, otherwise why is he parsing words out of an article that two guys wrote, instead of just coming out and saying that they (EAC) screwed up, or just say that all the machines and installations Ciber didn’t test properly have to be re-tested ?

      It sounds to me like they’re protecting the EVM & testing companies (paid off)

      If any of the phony EAC political hacks go down it will, if history is an indicator, be due to the work of the Black Box Voting crews.

      It was the video of Kathleen Wynne that convicted the election workers in Ohio who feloniously covered up and screwed up the ’04 recount.

      After I posted I went and took a shower, when in the shower I got to thinking. (tick tock) I wrote down what I thought after that, but I don’t have the correct words to express it. And just for the freaks out there no I am not advocating walking in with a weapon to vote! But what the hell are we going to do?!

      Anyway,
      This is the note I jotted down…

      “Electronic Voting is so compartementalised that your vote doesn’t even count because we are too busy fighting amongst ourselves.”

      I don’t know how I could prove this or explain it better, but usually I am right when I jot things down like that; .. which come to me in the shower.

      This whole situation is so messed up. I get really angry. I am not a mean person, but I absolutely can not let this electronic voting problem go. I CANT! it’s like saying let America go, fuck the constitution.
      I can’t do that. I CANT! I have a resentment against this shit, and this resentment is gonna kill me. Eat your meals everyday while pissed off, and see how healthy you become.

      SO… when I am dead from this resentment you can blame it on these people. That’s all I can say. It’s driving me nuts!

      I won’t let it go. They’re fucking unconstitutionally wrong. PERIOD.

      If all you do is read this and do nothing, I don’t blame you, but technically if you want to get down to it, your doing nothing is like being more or less the problem itself. Don’t you care? Wouldn’t you agree!?

      If you care, TAKE ACTION! Visit ss.ca.gov , bitch to the senators, support Bradblog, and BBV. Learn what the hell is going on. I feel like a preacher preaching on deaf ears. But I don’t see things getting better, I see the same old crap. How stupid is that? Are we the people so stupid that we just don’t care? Do we understand where that leads to? I guess not.

      To be honest I don’t want to live in that America.
