Democracy is indeed dead...
Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 02:52 PM by LaPera
However, that's no reason to give up...that would be the Republican fascist wet dream and exactlly what they are counting on.

In the 2002 election they used only electronic voting machines in Georgia (with no paper trail) Democratic Senator Max Cleveland & the popular Democratic Governor were both ahead in the polls by double digits the night before the election...during voting many of the machines went down, when it was all over both Republican candidates "won" the election, one race by double digits. No paper trail, no way to check.

That was a dry run for the 2004 election. What was it, almost forty million electronic votes were "counted" this election? With almost no paper trail to expose any fraud.

We knew they were going to steal this election somehow, and they did!

All we can do is get rid of these BBV machines before the senate races of 2006 and not allow the Republican to steal five Senate seats for a 60 - 40 margin.

If we allow it to happen, then we are then sunk forever in our lifetime, at the very least. And if that happens, we will have no say what's so ever.

They will be able to appoint right-wing judges at will, (no filibusters) change redistricting areas and get whom ever they choose whenever they want. With a 60- 40 republican majority in the senate, the vice-president, the president, the congress, the Attorney General, and the Supreme Court ALL republican controlled, along with the national judges that will be appointed---AND the obedient republican owned and controlled corporate media...You tell me how we'll be able do anything?

We have to get rid of these BBV machines or they will get that 60-40 margin.

They say it's impossible to have a paper trail with electronic voting machines (isn't that convenient, not to mention the fact the republicans own and control the machines) such bullshit...AGAIN, even electronic ATM machines spit out a receipt when you use one.
