NON-PARTISAN GAO REPORT CONFIRMS CONCERNS ABOUT SECURITY OF ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES! REPUBLICAN LEADERS LIED ABOUT SECURITY OF OUR VOTES!

During the 2004 Presidential Election there were thousands of reports of voting irregularities. In addition the exit polls showed a significant discrepancy between “official counts” and the responses of the voters casting those votes in swing states: the exit polls. The discrepancies were enough to win the election for Kerry and lose it for Bush. All across the country but especially in swing states electronic vote counting machines most manufactured by Republican led companies (such as Diebold whose CEO, Walden O'Dell, promised Republicans to deliver all of Ohio’s electoral college votes to George W. Bush) were found to be unsecured and reported suspicious results. The Republican Leadership in Congress refused to investigate this and when the Democrats attempted to do so the Republicans denied them hearing rooms to conduct the hearings. Well guess what? The Non-partisan GAO has completed a report that confirms concerns about the security of electronic voting machines including Diebold’s. Hundreds of reports had previously come forward showing how easy it is to change vote counts on these machines. Elections officials in Ohio have already been indicted for vote fraud involved in the 2004 election. All favoring George W. Bush. Many studies on the exit poll data show that the “official count” has only a 0.0001% chance of being true and accurate.

In third world countries we use such discrepancies between exit polls and the “official counts” to verify that vote fraud occurred. It was such discrepancies that caused the world to demand a second election in the Ukraine. The Bush Administration used the exit poll vs. “official count” discrepancies as proof that the Ukraine election had been stolen. But here in the US the Republicans claimed the exit polls were wrong and that the electronic voting machines problems were not important enough for them or the Democrats to investigate. Well guess what. They are! The Non-partisan GAO has completed a report that confirms concerns about the security of electronic voting machines. The lapdog Corporate News [sic] Media will not bother informing the American People that Democracy was likely stolen in the US, so we bloggers have to do it ourselves. The complete report is available here.

A joint bi-partisan press release touting the findings of the report has just been issued by three Republican and three Democratic Congressmen including Government Reform Committee Chairman Tom Davis (R-VA) and Ranking Member Henry A. Waxman (D-CA), Judiciary Committee Chair F. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) and Ranking Member John Conyers (D-MI), and Science Committee Chair Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY) and Ranking Member Bart Gordon (D-TN). Real Americans who believe that the American People deserve a Democracy not a Thiefocracy. Both Republicans and Democrats. Hats off to Davis, Sensenbrenner and Boehlert: Republican members of Congress who realize that we need accurate vote counts. The other Republican members of Congress who do not get behind and support this believe that accurate vote counts are not important. Lets remember that when they run for re-election in 2006!

Spread the word that the Corporate Media Shills will not: OUR VOTES ARE NOT BEING COUNTED FAIRLY. ELECTIONS ARE BEING STOLEN. THE US HAS DESCENDED TO THE LEVEL OF BANANA REPUBLICS. WE, THE PEOPLE, NEED TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK FROM THE THIEVES IN POWER. SPREAD THE WORD!
