How the back-door was discovered in the voting machines. How the System Integrity Flaw was discovered at Diebold. The Illegal Coup of '02 This page updated in DECEMBER 2003 " Democracy is more in the counting of the votes than the casting of them. " — Crispin Hull, Canberra Times, Australia " Those who cast the votes decide nothing, those who count the votes decide everything. " --- Joseph Stalin On Nov. 5, 2002 Did We Just Witness Another Illegal COUP D'ETAT in America ? Did the Democrats ACTUALLY WIN several key races on November 5, but rigged vote-counting made it APPEAR otherwise? 'Conveniently' with no VNS exit polls there was no data to compare with the " official results " . With a huge budget and two years to plan this they chose to back out at the last minute, even though this meant paying huge refunds to 19 newspapers, and to TV networks. Below are the FACTS about the rigged touch-screen electronic voting machines and how the companies owned by extremist right-wingers falsified election results to favor the Republicans. --\ --------------------- On the 2002 Mid-Term Elections - Article by Mike Ruppert on www.fromthewilderness.com There was one other great message from this election. On Wednesday morning I watched a crawl on the bottom of the CNN news screen. It said, " Proprietary software may make inspection of electronic voting systems impossible. " It was the final and absolute coronation of corporate rights over democracy; of money over truth; and of man's self-destructive fears over the best parts of the human heart. I note with irony the fact that much of the new software to resolve voting issues is either created by Microsoft and/or the companies that own and sell the voting machines, including one with investments from the Rothschild family. These are the same firms connected to the election debacle of 2000. Some even have Bush family connections. And here we see the final purpose of the 2000 Florida voting scandals: In order to prevent the same kind of hanging-chad confusion, we now have electronic machines so the problem won't occur again, and the results have been forever totally removed from public scrutiny. And wasn't it convenient that Voters News Service decided at the last minute that there would be no exit polling this year. Exit polling was a reliable standard against which the numbers from the voting machines could be compared. Some will take issue with me and say, " Mike, how can you blame the American people and say that the voting machines are rigged at the same time? " Easy, I answer. Today there was nobody in the streets. There was no public outcry. There was no revolt or outrage. All that has happened is that one more time a people has avoided responsibility and retreated in the hope that some other half-measured, half-willed, half-hearted, childish tactic will produce results in a world that no longer exists ... and probably hasn't for a long, long time. --\ -------------- From a commentary by R. B. McHam " A Government Hijacked " Third, and most explosive, the results lack ANY credibility. Too much massive voter fraud has been exposed to take them seriously. As I said before, it's more than passing strange that wherever the selected Corporate President went, Republican victory was sure to follow. ....... It's also highly suspicious that the last-minute abandonment by the Voter News Service of exit polls would help smooth over any overly egregious voting hanky panky. Technical " glitches " are always an easy excuse for planned disenfranchisement. As Greg Palast has reported, and as Michael Rivero has documented, massive voter fraud was being planned for months. The fix was in. As far as I'm concerned, the US has now been officially US-urped by a neo-fascist administration bent on global domination and the installation of a domestic police state. Their ability to stack the judiciary with extremist supporters is perhaps the scariest scenario envisioned. Imagine: the far right now has at their disposal the tools to remake the social fabric of America in their vision, one which mixes corporate rapine and theological supremacy with a global militaristic agenda. You can take the following statement to the bank: any serious, independent, open and accountable investigations into 9-11, corporate crime, the sniper shootings, the anthrax murders or anything else that might cast aspersions on the honesty or decency of this corrupt administration is dead in the water. I guarantee it. The Free Market Jesus is exultant. He sits atop a nuclear bomb, Holy Bible in one hand and a suitcase full of investor's stolen cash in another, hooting and hollering all the way towards Armageddon. There. Don't you feel safe now? R. B. McHam These 5 selected comments on Electronic Voting Machines are from people who posted on a special Message Board for 15 hours on November 6 at http://www.angrydems.com (set up by Zack Exley of gwbush.com) But did they really " win " all those races? Can someone investigate the company that makes the electronic voting machines? Isn't one such company whose machines were used in Florida yesterday, connected to the GOP? It would be fairly easy to write self-erasing code that could alter the actual tabulation figures and would be clocked to election day, undetectable the day after. I do not put this type of fraud beyond the GOP. They are capable of far worse and perhaps they have done far worse recently. RE: VOTING MACHINES: Attempts were made to examine the code used in the machines in Florida. The attempt was blocked in the courts by the GOP citing " proprietary/trade secrecy " protections under law. Upshot is that the DNC could not ascertain how the machines tabulated votes and how accurately. As mentioned above: it is easy to write code to alter tabulations in any number of ways. A scary thought: why did VNS suddenly fail to release exit poll data? Could it have been in wide variance with machine tabulated results? Why does the news media get to " call " the elections? Why do the Republicans have the " keys to the kingdom " in the form of the voting machines (ES & S)? We need to ask some critical questions about how the machines are " programmed " and WHY THERE IS NO PUBLIC OVERSIGHT of these machines. THE REPUGLICAN'S DIDN'T WIN THEIR RACES, THEY BOUGHT THEM - WITH NEGATIVE, FALSE ADVERTISING AND NO CHECK FROM THE MEDIA! ALSO, WITH QUESTIONABLE ELECTRONIC VOTING APPARATUS - AGAIN WITH NO CHECKS! God help us all.. for we will be in a global war before too long... the rich get richer..the poor get poorer.. it has always been this way when the Party of dirty tricks is in office... I get the feeling there was some vote fixing done too.. just as in Florida... We are really in for it now.... I wish I could find an island to go live on.. away from all this mess.... Once I was proud to be an American... now, I'm not so sure...
