NY Times Op-Ed letters to the Editors On VOTER CONCERNS!

[KaryninMiami]

There were 5 letters regarding their story "Count Every Vote" from 12/20. Here are portions from 2 of them. OK so they're not on the front page where they belong, but at least that are being printed AND there's evidence of a "buzz" in the air ...

From Op-Ed Letter # 1:

"As virtually every independent study of the new machines used in Ohio, Florida and across the country concluded, the deeper problem with electronic voting is the untrustworthiness and corruptibility of the software - software designed by partisan companies and, astonishingly, protected by copyright law.

As demonstrated in Ohio and elsewhere, people with access to the machines, and the proper motivation, can change the election result. Paper trail or no paper trail, until this problem is confronted, an election conducted on electronic voting machines, including the one this November, is not to be trusted."

From Letter # 3:

"Finally, there should be serious criminal consequences to anyone violating the voting rights of an American citizen.

With the current systematic control over the vote, we are in very real danger of losing our democracy."

AND ---CHECK OUT THIS ONE- Letter #5!!

"There are serious charges that voters in Ohio were systematically disenfranchised by violations of state and federal voting laws through, among other things, manipulation of the vote tabulator by a representative of the company that created the software.

Our American press, inexplicably, has been thunderously silent.

The Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee have been conducting hearings into many of these problems. There is a likelihood that the report of the presidential electors from Ohio, due on Jan. 6 to Congress, will be challenged.

The list of what should be blockbuster media stories is long and growing. But these stories are not out there. As a result, most Americans don't know as much about serious, credible charges of the theft of democracy as about what happened in Ukraine."

1. Thanks for posting!

It is gratifying to know we are not alone in the struggle.

3. We are not alone in the struggle.

My guess is there are many more of us out there then any of us realize but thanks to MSM, it's really difficult to know that. It would be great to figure out a way to really know how many of us there are for a few reasons. First, because it would make us all feel better (sounds funny but knowing we are not alone in the struggle is a very important point). Also, knowing that we really are getting the word out to thousands (maybe more) is extremely gratifying, considering we have no support from MSM. Third, when we need to get a message out to everyone (such as "time to take to the streets", or some group gets it together to start a fundraising campaign to pay for advertising- which we desperately need), we'd have one main communications center.

In the meantime, we can only do what we are all doing. Stay focused, tell everyone you know what you do know and remember- the truth will come out. There are far too many of us who know and are not every going to allow this to get swept under the rug again.
