9. You have been in denial for so long.
It will be good to see you rational for once.

27. Right.
And the people calling election fraud before there has been an election are what, exactly?

I don't like electronic voting machines any more than you do. There is certainly the potential for fraud, but there is no guarantee of fraud in any specific election.

Why do you think people don't take the election reform movement more seriously? Hyperbole and insane partisanship have something to do with it.

Like most people. I mean there's only room for one honest man in babylon, and it seems like that job is taken.

8. I'm starting to get the feeling...
...that a lot of people here are going to be disappointed when the elections aren't stolen.

Shall we start a pool for the number of hits a search for "Why didn't (Karl/KKKarl/Rove/Karl Rove/KKKarl Rove) steal the election?" returns on the day after?

14. The answer will be that they tried to steal the election
but failed.

Actually I'm not as worried about that, but about the gleeful prognisticators of doom taking their bows if we don't take back the House and/or Senate.

20. Even if the Dems win, many elections will still be stolen
Edited on Thu Nov-02-06 12:52 PM by Tiggeroshii
It is the sad reality of the insecurity of our elections. Because it is possible on a large scale it will happen on a large scale. Many races will not turn a certain way due to fraud and prevent many candidates from rightfully winning because of fraud. Hopefully though, despite this, the Democrats can win back Congress and our man Conyers and can start making quick changes.

29. I wouldn't be disappointed at all
I take no pleasure in seeing our Government subverted. I fervently desire for the optimists among us to be correct and the Rightists to be swept away by a landslide of epic proportions.

11. Work hard on the states that have e-voting and no paper trail
I'm convinced that here in my district Bob Beauprez prevailed over Feeley by very few votes, that it was because of the e-voting machines. Feeley was quite popular but BB "won". That was back in 2000. Those days seem like the infancy of election fraud by e-voting. Now I look back and say - uh-huh.

Since then, in Colorado, we've worked hard to get a Dem majority in our state house despite a Republican governor. We got it and they passed mandatory paper trails. The gov got it delayed from this election to '08. But we got a good law passed.

Now, in this election, we're working hard to keep our Dem majority and it looks like we'll have a Dem governor.

This has been an uphill fight. Skirmish by skirmish and battle by battle we've fought for just elections. We'll have to be vigilant to keep it. But I'm ready to lend my support to another state that needs help.

Remember, it took the Republicans decades to regain power. We've made good use of the internet and our push is making very good strides.

Never give up. That's what you have to do. Decide that we'll never give up and then do your part.

12. The question is, what are you doing on November the 2nd to 7th?
If I have any evidence that anything happened in a precinct where I was acting as an observer, I would bring that evidence to the attention of at least seven people (as advised in on http://www.blackboxvoting.org/toolkit.html">BlockBox Voting) and get my notes in order to be prepared to testify in court.

Of course, the question is not what you will do on the 8th, the question is what you are doing now to prevent vote theft. See the site above, in Ohio sign up to be an observer for those that do not have the organization on the ground to cover the whole state at http://www.caseohio.org/">C.A.S.E. Ohio, or nationwide you can go to the http://www.nationalcampaignforfairelections.org/pages/election_protection">National Campaign for Fair Elections to find out what action you can take in your own area.

13. I will be absolutely shocked if the Dems don't win the lower House
All the polls leading into the race show the Repubs are going to be blasted out of the House.

If there is no victory for the Dems, we're living under a sham democracy.

15. I think it's time to revive the Underground Railroad.
Get people to Canada or Mexico by any way possible and avoid the Homeland Security Stasi Internal Spies located at all the churches.

It's time to go.

23. That's a good question
I can tell you that in 2004, after the shady results, there were marches or rallies in every single state capital in the country on a Saturday afternoon, organized by theses folks: http://www.51capitalmarch.com/

Hardly anyone showed up, despite all the online outrage, people are always waiting for someone else to get the ball rolling. They don't seem to realize that we can't wait for some perfect leader to show up and guide us, we have to be the leaders. If everyone who says they won't go (because there won't be enough people to make a difference) would actually show up, well, there'd be enough freaking people to make a difference.. But sadly, I expect no difference this time around, or in 2008, or ever.
