Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 (First, I want apologise if any one is offended by this message. It is from my heart and displays my sense of frustration about India's elections.)WHEN ARE YOU ALL GOING TO WAKE UP TO THE FACT YOU ARE BEING CHEATED?!Where are all the concerned indian voters and journalists?!!! believe me, if the EVMs dont work in the USA they dont work in India. The Congress Party is not on the rise and the BJP is not on a downslide. India is being cheated out of its destiny. Only by using Shakuni-like methods has the Indigenous rise of India been put in check. I personally met the former BJP head, several times, V.Naidu and it hurts that he is accepting the blame for the electoral fiascos. If you dont stop this fraud, Sri Advani will be the next one to be publicly shamed and raked over the coals as a failure. This is a Psy-op meant to discredit India's Indigenous self-confidence. I am willing to debate any one of you on this. Stop the shame before all your leaders are disgraced and all your left with is the suddenly 'popular' Sonia. SIMPLE SOLUTION:DO NOT HOLD ANOTHER ELECTION WITHOUT A PAPER TRIAL TO COMPARE THE RESULTS. NEW BOOK EXPOSES EVMs and ELECTION FRAUD IN USAStealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy by John Fund http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin/imageDB.cgi?isbn=1594030618 "Election officials are trying to reassure voters by turning to computerized voting machines. But Fund shows that with the new technology come even greater concerns. Early in 2004, for instance, the state of Maryland, which has 16,000 new Diebold machines, commissioned a security expert to try to rig a practice election. He and his team broke into the computer at the State Board of Elections, completely changed the outcome of the election, left, and erased their electronic trail — all in under five minutes." ABOUT THE AUTHOR John Fund is a member of the Wall Street Journal's editorial board and writes the paper's daily 'Political Diary.' He has written on voter fraud and election irregularities for the last decade in the Wall Street Journal, New Republic, American Spectator, and other publications. In the past year, Fund has made over 90 appearances on Fox News, MSNBC, C-Span, and CNBC. Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy by John Fund Publisher Comments: The Florida Fiasco of 2000, with hanging chads, butterfly ballots and Supreme Court intervention, forced Americans to confront an ugly reality. The U.S. has the sloppiest election systems of any industrialized nation, so sloppy that at least eight of the 19 hijackers who attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were actually able to register to vote in either Virginia or Florida while they made their deadly preparations for 9/11. In Stealing Elections, John Fund takes the reader on a national tour of voter fraud scandals ranging from rural states like Texas and Mississippi to big cities such as Philadelphia and Milwaukee. He explores dark episodes such as the way "vote brokers" stole a mayoral election in Miami in 1998 by tampering with 4,700 absentee ballots. He shows how, in the aftermath of the Motor Voter Law of 1993, Californians used mail-in forms to get absentee ballots for fictitious people and pets, while in St. Louis it was discovered that voter rolls included 13,000 more names than the U.S. Census listed as the total number of adults in the city. Election officials are trying to reassure voters by turning to computerized voting machines. But Fund shows that with the new technology come even greater concerns. Early in 2004, for instance, the state of Maryland, which has 16,000 new Diebold machines, commissioned a security expert to try to rig a practice election. He and his team broke into the computer at the State Board of Elections, completely changed the outcome of the election, left, and erased their electronic trail — all in under five minutes. Stealing Elections gives us a chilling portrait of our electoral vulnerability — in the 2004 presidential election and on into the future. Writing with urgency and authority, John Fund shows how a lethal combination of bureaucratic bungling and ballot rigging have put our democracy at risk.Tired of spam?
