HOW THEY STOLE THE 2006 MID-TERMS

Here’s how the 2006 mid-term election was stolen.

Note the past tense. And I’m not kidding.

• Theft #1: Registrations gone with the wind...
  
• Theft #2: Turned Away - the ID game...
  
• Theft #3: Votes Spoiled Rotten...
  

So Let’s Add it Up

Two million legitimate voters will be turned away because of wrongly rejected or purged registrations.

Add another one million voters challenged and turned away for “improper ID.”

Then add yet another million for Democratic votes “spoiled” by busted black boxes and by bad ballots.

And let’s not forget to include the one million “provisional” ballots which will never get counted. Based on the experience of 2004, we know that, overwhelmingly, minority voters are the ones shunted to these baloney ballots.

And there’s one more group of votes that won’t be counted: absentee ballots challenged and discarded. Elections Assistance Agency data tell us a half million of these absentee votes will go down the drain.

Driving this massive suppression of the vote are sophisticated challenge operations. And here I must note that the Democrats have no national challenge campaign. That’s morally laudable; electorally suicidal.

Add it all up — all those Democratic-leaning votes rejected, barred and spoiled — and the Republican Party begins Election Day with a 4.5 million-vote thumb on the vote-tally scale.

3. Didn't check the GD-P thread

And I didn't see it here in the Election Reform forum, so I thought to post it here.
And this topic surely deserves to be on the Election Reform forum, imo!

Here is the link to the GD-P post/thread...
