Diebold has QUITE a racket going w/E-Voting...
Edited on Sat Nov-04-06 01:18 PM by texpatriot2004
It occurs to me that it's something like this,

Diebold machines commit fraud, the fraud is "undetectable" and "untraceable", and they make million and millions selling the machines to the States. Plus, the Diebold vendors run the show, they drive the process, not the people who are supposed to be in charge of the "elections."

What a racket!

It would be like some wealthy criminal goes to trial and their expensive defense attorney gets them off the hook and then the attorney pays the criminal big bucks.

Just a thought and here's another, Live Free or DieBold.

PS The irony of it all is that Diebold has millions of machines producing paper reciepts all over this country...they are ATMs and if they could not verify your transaction you would have nothing to do with them.

PPS Okay ya'll, for the record, I am aware that vote fraud is more complex than this. I just wanted to focus on this piece of the puzzle in this post. Thanks.

1. It's NOT JUST MACHINES!!!
It's not just Diebold.

Or ES&S. Or Sequoia. Or any other voting company.

Optical scan machines can be hacked, too.

ANY machine can be defeated.

Even the process can be defeated.

Don't put enough machines in an area where all the voters are black. Make em stand in line.

Put too many machines in white influential neighborhoods.

We segregate ourselves with the help of real estate developers.

Then the politicians draw those district lines to create the outcome they want.

VOTER FRAUD is MUCH DEEPER THAN DIEBOLD.

We need to understand this.
