1. Slimeballs

Thanks. Nothing we didn't already know, but those slimebags were wining and dining election officials and media months ago to keep them quiet now and train them what to say and do. All Diebold puppets. Ugg. What the hell business does a private company have COMPLETELY controlling our NON partisan federal elections? Can't we sue them on this for attempting to bribe election officials? Can't we at least make a legal case to bring this shit to light? It's unbelievable, and 80% of the country doesn't know about it because they just swallow whatever the media feeds them, and the media aren't feeding them this story because of dinner cruises like this. That's the story.

I swear, I'm ready to take legal action against Diebold for infringing on my right to vote (though I am in California, and probably have no case...But you e-voting victims should sue their asses to bring this to light)

2. can someone make a chart of everywhere e-voting was and

reported problems? http://www.votersunite.org/electionproblems.asp?offset=40&catid=&showall=&sort= Plus is this site still useful? They have a lot of reports in many different states of problems.

4. I'm doing it right now...

...it's in the works. I'll be linking it to this site:

http://shadowbox.i8.com/stolen.htm

3. I went to that website and, uh, visited the forum...

...I wouldn't recommend it, LOL, but I did get this link from a pissed-off citizen who posted his concerns about conflict of interest:

9. Which website are you not recommending?

[Chili]

10. just the forum attached to ElectionCenter.com

...except for the crickets chirping and a few very pointed justified complaints, it's been porn-scammed.

[Carl Brennan]

12. hmmm. Weird. Why would

it be porn scammed?

[Chili]

13. dunno...

...just kinda creepy over there, that's all... and why there are no moderators watching it to delete them... strange for such a professional organization and site. That's like IBM having a message board attached to their site and allowing porn links to be posted all over and leaving them up.

5. North Carolina incompetent director Gary Bartlett was speaking there!

From: http://www.americanether.net/Boatrides.html

"10:00-10:45 Breakout #2 *Gary Bartlett, Executive Director, North Carolina"

As you probably know by now, North Carolina had many, many, many "problems" regarding the 2004 election. Unfrellingbelievable!

6. Bartlett also on the board of directors for Election Center!

7. Not surprising -- this vote tampering seemed too organized

This may be the tip of the ice burg.

Could this be something like a RICO (or is it RICCO) violation???
