Evoting Fraud - we have 2 yrs to fix it - or bye-bye democracy

November 4th - 30 percent of all Presidential ballots were cast this year, using electronic voting (Evoting). With Evoting, it is very easy to change the results of an election. And no one can prove it, since there is no paper trail (no hard copy).

I believe this is the most important issue all progressives face. Bush didn't "win" reelection - it was stolen (read here)*. Not only did Bush steal the Whitehouse again; but they also swept the South's Senate seats. And, they even ousted Senator Tom Daschle** by a very "close" margin. This probably sent a very ominous message to the other Senate Dems: "mess with us and we won't keep you around as a "token" minority." This is the first time in 53 years that a party Leader has been beaten. A GOP spokesman described Daschle as an "obstructionist" (threat - don't get in our way!).

I believe in two years, they will try to "finish the job". They will try to defeat enough Democratic Senators to take away their ability to filibuster*. If this happens, there will be no stopping them! They will be able to appoint the most extremist right-wing judges, etc. They will have unchecked power - since they will have total control of all branches of our federal government. In effect, our country will become a total fascist state!
*A device, used only in the Senate, to delay or prevent a vote by time-consuming talk. It can be stopped only by a 60-member vote of the senators present and voting.

Clearly, this should be THE most important issue for all of us. I'm not suggesting that you give up any other causes you have. But we all must give very serious effort to stop Evoting Fraud. If we don't, it is very possible that our other progressive interests will be greatly marginalized, if not outright eliminated. So I suggest devoting as much time to this as your other causes, until all States and all elections have a paper trail.

I have created a new web page ("Evoting Fraud")*, that is devoted to informing, educating and bringing about the end of the paperless ballot.

I will add to this page daily. Please email me with any link suggestions; and check back regularly. <It now contains: 23 articles, four movies to watch online, one book to read online, etc. more to come.>

3. Fuck this!

EXPECTED votes would normally vary from the ACTUAL votes due to increased voter turnout or other factors. What seems very odd in these numbers is that the increase in ACTUAL votes over EXPECTED votes for REPs has a striking pattern of being so much higher than that for DEMs in counties using optical scan voting machines.

2. I assume there's no way to dismantle every one of those machines.

With a screwdriver or a baseball bat or something.

That would be wrong.

I have no courage. I don't want to go to jail.

But I'm very calm with the idea that someday our suicide bombers may be Americans.

4. I agree sooooooooo much! 2006 is now more important than 2004!

If they get the Super Majority we are fucked. It will really be over for America as we knew it. We will be forced into christianity.

5. Seriously, I'm making contingency plans to move to another country.

If this last battle is lost, we can help other countries that are still democratic to hold on to their democracy. (It's like "falling back, and digging in" (we are at war afterall). I'm sure the neocons will not stop trying to spread their versin of "freedom". All totalitarians need to eliminate competitive threats. Once they control the middle-east oil supply (80% of world reserves), they can cut off other parts of the world if necessary.

6. Supermajority is at hand. They can do away with filibuster tomorrow

Who's gonna hold them? Kerry?
I agree we need to keep this voting thing up - but please realize - we are already powerless - at least legislatively.
Our votes being worthless - who cares what we think?
