If the machines are being tampered with, someone knows |
|
How can we get these people who know, because they were involved somehow, to come forward? Can we find them and offer them immunity? Who would be the likely sources? We must seek them out and put pressure on them to come forward. Someone knows. Lets find these people. Force them to talk. Threaten if we have to.

How do you ask someone to put him or herself through what would come at him? They would be immediately discredited as insane, and considering what they would face, that might have merit.

2. MAYBE NOT ON PURPOSE. Possibly. |
|
I'm a computer geek -- we do occasionally make mistakes. In theory, this could simply be a small glitch that reflects placement on the ballot -- the incumbent is always on top (or bottom) so blah, blah, blah. I am trying to keep my tin foil hat OFF in favor of potential stupidity....unfortunately, its more likely than deliberate malice which would have required a degree of skill I've yet to see come out of Blinky's crowd....

3. All it would take is two to three software types to |
|
do this. And they would have been picked long ago and very very carefully.
I have wondered about this for some time. But it would take something like a brother or sister dying in Iraq to change these ppl IMHO.

9. And in the case of Diebold, we actually know the names of |
|
those two or three software types. They've been posted here at DU, tho not recently. Their fingerprints are all over some of the, um, "questionable" code found in Diebold files on that ftp server so long ago. Not only that, but we had one or more people who could ONLY have been Diebold defenders posting here in some of those threads.

6. The bush crime family would have them assassinated |
|
or they may have been eliminated already.
They could have outsourced this job.

...supposedly "white evangelicals" won this for Bush. Maybe they are right. What other group could you get to perform "ethically ambiguous" actions, and need never fear their whistleblowing because of a "fear of the fires of hell", at least not blowing any whistles for a reasonable length of time. Find a white evangelical who listens to Rush, HATES liberals, you know the type. The type that violently protests at a family planning clinic. They can easily justify in their mind a little voter fraud to prevent an "infant holocaust", they'll see it as the work of Jesus.

10. If they are still alive, |
|
and investigations commence, they will probably blow the whistle to save their own behinds..this is a federal crime of immense proportions.

Didn't Bev Harris report about convicted felons working for these companies?
I would imagine they would be reticent to admit more crimes for fear of jail.
