Why Romney has already won this electronic election, UNLESS…

http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/harvey-wasserman/46246/why-romney-has-already-won-this-electronic-election-unless

The idea that the Chamber of Commerce and the GOP's horde of billionaire backers would spend hundreds of millions of dollars to capture the White House and Congress but stop short of a few electronic key strokes is nonsensical.

<...>

Those who would have it otherwise must work from now to Election Day and beyond, to:

•Check your registration -- millions of us need to confirm that we are still registered voters and haven’t been purged from the polls. You can do this by checking with your county board of elections either by phone or online, or by contacting you secretary of state’s office;
•Occupy the polling sites – come out in droves on Election Day to guarantee that EVERY citizen can fairly vote. Make sure there is no voter intimidation or other repression of voting. Look for broken machines, proliferation of voters forced to vote provisionally, and other irregularities. If something happens to your vote, report it to us;
•Document the vote count – help implement a national network of precinct-by-precinct monitoring systems to track as closely as possible the voter turnout as a check against the final tabulated electronic vote count. Take photos or video of the final precinct voting results posted at polling sites;
•Stop voting machine rigging – Observe the polling stations to monitor which technicians come to “service” the electronic voting machines and how they do it. Take photos or video of them and their vehicles;
•Gear up now for post-election legal and direct action strategies to resist an electronic tally almost certain to be rigged on election night in at least nine swing states...or however many it may take.

Please visit my thread and give your ideas there too if you would like. It would be appreciated.
Trying to get all good comments together in mass so we can contact any and all who could get this information out so that we can stop the vote machine fraud in our Country. Any ideas would be welcome. Thank you.

Will he quit like Gore did and Kerry?

He holds office. His people have their hands on the levers of power. He has the power to issue certain directives to make sure the vote is recounted. Gore and Kerry never had that power. Obama does.

Too.... will the people stand up for their rights to free and fair elections? Or will they fold again?

If you've got a smartphone you've got a 21st century media production facility. With it you can text, tweet, post to news agencies, record audio or video and take still photos.

A army of citizen reporters can blunt any voter suppression efforts. Know the law and document anything that looks out of order.

Get out the vote, protect the vote, demand each vote be counted.
