1. Nah. Peter King (R-puke) said "we'll do the counting".

OBL was only hired to play the 9/11 fall guy.

3. I wish someone could prove to me, beyond a reason of doubt
that Bin Laden isn't counting our votes in secret, BECAUSE I am no Computer Scientist, but I sure would like to know for sure who is counting our votes.

Can anyone show me the votes BEING counted?

4. I think most people get that, kster.

Except for those that seem to think absentee ballots are free of electronic counting.

7. Thats the point, Bin Laden could be counting the votes
and our sissy ass goverment could remain silent , and/or we the people would NEVER KNOW how the votes are counted.

Because, elections results are unprovable.

13. Funny! Thanks, kster! I needed that. And I agree, it's OBL.
And Wilms, you continue to misunderstand the point of the Absentee Ballot Protest. Accurate vote counts ARE NOT POSSIBLE in November. BECAUSE *ALL* the votes will be "counted" on electronic voting machines, using TRADE SECRET, PROPRIETARY programming code, owned and controlled by Bushite corporations.

So, WHAT DO WE DO IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE? A) Go like sheep to the slaughter, and vote on their goddamned rigged machines--thus endorsing our corrupt election officials' decision to pour billions of dollars into Bushite corporate pockets, for the favor of their rigging our elections; or B) REFUSE to vote on their goddamned machines, BOYCOTT their goddamned machines, NON-COOPERATE with their goddamned rigged system, and make it a BIG citizen "vote of no confidence" in SECRET corporate vote counting.

We cannot control what they do with our Absentee Ballot votes. And that's PART of the problem. What we CAN control is whether or not we AGREE to riggable electronics, and will PASSIVELY accept it.

I say: NO-O-O-O-O-O-O! Do NOT accept it! SUBVERT it, the only way we can. By using Absentee Ballots.

And if enough people do this--if everyone who despises the Bush Junta--60% to 70% of the American people--votes by Absentee Ballot, the reign of these diabolical machines will be OVER. They cannot maintain this rigged system if nobody will vote on their machines!

BOYCOTT THE MACHINES!

There is no downside to this protest. We vote, but we do NOT vote on the MACHINES! It will HELP turnout. It's a great motivator for disillusioned voters--to be part of protest aimed at Un-rigging the system. It makes voting into a positive protest!--instead of a passive act of despair, hoping against hope for a good outcome. It will INCREASE scrutiny of how AB votes are handled, and of the whole system. And it may well be the spark for American Revolution II. SOMETHING is going to spark it. LET IT BE VOTING!

The clock is ticking on the end of this democracy. We don't have much time. We must do something NOW. Nobody else has a plan for November. THIS is a plan! It is something everyone can do. (Most states have some form of AB voting.) And it is aimed at the right parties--local/state election officials--who will be greatly inconvenienced and embarrassed by massive Absentee Ballot voting, in the only jurisdictions where ordinary people still have some influence, where decisions about voting systems are still made (--but for how long?).

Best to hand-deliver your AB vote to the polling place on election day, or mail registered/return, or Fed Ex (to make sure it gets there). Fill out ballot and envelope carefully (to avoid disqualification).

For other advice and further discussion, see

Here is a list of states and their current voting systems, for reference. All e-voting systems are run on TRADE SECRET, PROPRIETARY programming code. The biggest of these democracy-killing corporations--and the most Bush friendly--are Diebold, ES&S and Sequoia.

Read these, and you will never again vote on an electronic voting machine:

There is a wealth of information on why you should not vote on these machines. A whole library of it. But the above three just about sum it up. Electronic voting is a scam. It is killing our democracy. DO NOT COOPERATE WITH IT! REBEL! ALL the machines are bad--touchscreens, optiscans and central tabulators. FORCE election officials to get rid of these machines. Jumpstart reform! DO IT NOW! Vote by Absentee Ballot!

14. Perhaps I don't understand the "protest.
But you seem to misunderstand the point that Absentee Ballots are, generally, machine counted.

I am aware of a county that will actually hand count absentee ballots. It would be a sensible place for your protest to be acted upon, therefore.

Do you know which one I'm speaking of?

See if you can google it. Let me know if you find places that will hand-count absentee ballots. And I'll surprise you with the county I'm referring to.

Deal?
