Chicago BOE audit points to vote manipulation

What a surprise. Rahm was going to assure his buddy Hillary a win. I said all along that I didn't believe she won Illinois along with numerous other states. The Clinton fix is in.

(from reddit)

In one precinct the actual tally was 56.7% in Bernie's favor. After the count was manipulated by the machine he lost with 47.5%, an 18.4% of swing.
In one example noted during video, 21 Bernie votes were erased and 49 Hillary votes added to audit tally in order to match machine count. In this one precinct, this change from the actual results accounted for nearly 20% of overall votes cast.

The exit polls actually had Bernie winning.

Here is the video. FF to about the 24:00 mark

9. I think that deep, deep denial would have to be employed to believe this hasn't happened everywhere.

Everywhere that machines count votes that is.

Can anyone tell me WHY the billionaire class would not hack these machines (that are easily hackable) to keep Bernie out of power?

There are billions and billions of dollars at stake for these people. It's ridiculous to think they wouldn't hack these machines since it's so easy to do.

Other corrupt processes were implemented in caucus states, but those processes do not work nearly as well as Bernie's blowouts clearly show (as he crushed polling in these states).

7. which I do not understand why Bernie's camp

refuses to file complaints. It keeps happening over and over in so many primaries and NO ONE in either camp is complaining about this - it's madness!!

If this happens in California, I may give up voting for candidates. What is the point of spending all of this time, money, effort and worry if the candidates won't even fight for the voters basic rights?

4. Voting Is Practically Useless

Bernie wins caucuses big time because they can't be manipulated perhaps?

Probably not but I don't trust secret stuff telling me who won what.

Just look at what happened to Don Siegelman's election.

8. Look, if you agree to go along with machine voting because you can save a nickel each in taxes,

because that nickel means more to you than an easy to come by clear paper trail of people marking "x's" on clearly labelled ballots, to be counted by officials under the watch of scrutineers from all parties and persuasions who demand to be present, then you can complain to the wind about how your election was "stolen". It wasn't "stolen", you threw it away for less cash than required for a sip of coffee.

10. HRC substantially beats exit polls in every state that votes on computers. By BIG margins.

I'll bet he is grieving, as are many of us, but he had so much invested in free and fair elections.
