They are currently testing election systems in Ohio that can flip over huge progressive votes with impunity.
This has got me worried, because I've been saying (and I think study of the 2004 election supports it) that we can beat them with sheer numbers--with good, strong, antiwar, real populist candidates and hard work to achieve a big voter revolt with massive turnout.
Recently, four Ohio ELECTION REFORM initiatives, that were predicted to win by 60/40 votes were flipped over on election day to 60/40 LOSSES--the most audacious flipover yet. (The machines and their masters are now dictating election policy and preventing reform--a chilling Orwellian twist.)
See Bob Koehler's article about the Ohio initiatives:
http://www.tmsfeatures.com/tmsfeatures/subcategory.jsp?custid=67&catid=1824Ohio may be a special case of outrageous Bushite corruption and tyranny, but it's a safe bet that what they're doing there will be inflicted on the rest of us. They're pushing Diebold everywhere. Election officials are falling for it, or are corrupt. The fundamental facts of very bad--not just re Diebold, but for the entire election system, with most of the votes tabulated by two rightwing Bushite corporations--Diebold and ES&S--using 'TRADE SECRET,' PROPRIETARY software and firmware, with virtually no audit/recount controls.
One thing we need is INDEPENDENT EXIT POLLS. Pressure Dean and the DNC to fund them. The war profiterring corporate news monopolies DOCTORED their exit polls, late on election day, to FIT the results of Diebold's and ES&S's secret formulae, thus depriving the American public of strong evidence of a Kerry win. So we cannot trust their polls.
Also, see www.UScountvotes.org - for a project for statistical monitoring of the elections in '06. We need to challenge suspicious results and gather evidence for election reform for '08. They need donations, and are now a non-profit.
