Can the American People trust the integrity of the election process? I ask because; since November 2 I have followed the numerous incidents of voter suppression efforts, vote irregularities, vote anomalies, and allegations of out right vote fraud. The mainstream media has been strangely silent covering these incidents. Our Democracy is at stake. At the very heart of our democracy, are the right to vote and the assurance that our vote was counted. This is a grave non-partisan issue! While several of the irregularities have been explained, many more have not. If the Republicans insist on paperless trail voting, the Democrats will continue to distrust the process, due to the many avenues available to programmers to hack the vote.

Ohio Sample: “Misinformation campaigns delivered through anonymous flyers or phone calls with a variety of intimidating or vote-suppressing messages, advising voters to go to the polls on November 3rd rather than November 2, or giving other false information on voting rights. A few of the most outrageous examples include: Ø “If you already voted in any election this year, you can’t vote in the Presidential Election.”

The internet news site, BuzzFlash.com, has posted what purports to be the affidavit of a computer programmer named Clint Curtis in which he describes having prepared vote fraud software at the request of Republican Congressman Tom Feeney.
http://www.buzzflash.com/alerts/04/12/images/CC_Affidavit_120604.pdfThis tends to corroborate the December 6th article of Wayne Madsen in which he describes Feeney's procurement of vote-rigging software for the Republicans.

http://www.independentmediasource.com/evotingfraud.htmDOES Associated Press HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE?Yesterdays’ AP article covering the Conyers hearings asserts that the vote fraud allegations had been thoroughly investigated. This is blatantly misleading! If anything, the lawsuits are flying!
“Lynn Landes' investigation of AP exit polls reporting Landes' investigation states that the AP is the "sole source of raw vote totals for the major news broadcasters on Election Night" and that they have refused to explain where this information will be sourced, and "refused to confirm or deny that the AP will receive direct feed from voting machines and central vote tabulating computers across the country."….She notes that if so, a remote computer could also access these same machines (the manufacturers already requested they not be connected during some elections, see above), that the manufacturers pride themselves on "accessibility" and that many of the AP executives have Republican ties and as a sole source may not be as non-partisan as is believed. (Source <68> (

Another article on Associated Press <69> (
http://onlinejournal.com/evoting/102304Landes/102304lan... ) comments:"Burl Osborne, chairman of the AP board of directors, is also publisher emeritus of the conservative The Dallas Morning News, a newspaper that endorsed George W. Bush in the last election. Kathleen Carroll, senior vice president and executive editor of AP, was a reporter at The Dallas Morning News before joining AP. Carroll is also on the Associated Press Managing Editors (APME)’s 7-member executive committee. The APME "works in partnership with AP to improve the wire service's performance," according to their website. APME vice president, Deanna Sands, is managing editor of the ultra conservative Omaha World Herald newspaper, whose parent company owns the largest voting machine company in the nation, Election Systems and Software (ES&S)."

JOHN KERRY’S STATEMENT ON VOTE REFORMDecember 7, 2004
Senator John Kerry’s Statement on Election Reform
WASHINGTON, D.C. -Senator John Kerry released the following statement today on election reform: “It’s critical that we investigate and understand any and every voting irregularity anywhere in our country, not because it would change the outcome of the election but because Americans have to believe that their votes are counted in our democracy. We should be working together to reform the system because it should be unacceptable to anyone, Democrat or Republican, that in the United States many people still don’t have full confidence in the integrity of the voting process. I want every vote counted in this election, but I also want to make sure there are no questions or doubts in future elections. That’s not too much to ask in the world’s greatest democracy and model for free elections.” Here is the link to the Conyers' site:

http://ucdata.berkeley.edu/new_web/VOTE2004/election04_THE BERKELEY REPORT
http://ucdata.berkeley.edu/ http://ucdata.berkeley.edu/Summary Findings
Irregularities associated with electronic voting machines may
have awarded 130,000 excess votes or more to President George W.
Bush in Florida. Compared to counties with paper ballots, counties with electronic voting machines were significantly more likely to show increases
in support for President Bush between 2000 and 2004. This effect
cannot be explained by differences between counties in income,
number of voters, change in voter turnout, or size of
Hispanic/Latino population. In Broward County alone, President Bush appears to have received approximately 72,000 excess votes.
We can be 99.9% sure that these effects are not attributable to chance.

Affidavit of Vote Fraud Software Requested by Florida Congressman Feeney Posted on Buzzflash.com
The internet news site, BuzzFlash.com, has posted what purports to be the affidavit of a computer programmer named Clint Curtis in which he describes having prepared vote fraud software at the request of Republican Congressman Tom Feeney.

Area activists demand FBI probe
Lowey supports investigation of Election Day fraud
Congresswoman Nita Lowey
by Adam Stone
Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D/Harrison) told North County News Friday she supports a federal investigation into voter fraud surrounding the 2004 presidential election….
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is investigating reported voting irregularities on Election Day that some Democrats believe unfairly handed President George W. Bush a second term….
"Almost immediately following the election this year, a group of representatives, most of whom are on the House Judiciary Committee, contacted the GAO to request an investigation into various reports of voting irregularities," Lowey said. "This is an important request and I will watch to ensure that the GAO conducts a thorough investigation of these issues."
Snip.........................
Brooke Gladstone, co-host of WNYC's weekend On the Media program, which is distributed by National Public Radio, said the mainstream media might be largely ignoring the story because many reporters are relieved that a "long and nasty campaign" is over.
"Moreover, accusations of vote fraud emerged first in the blogs, which mainstream media regard with some suspicion," she stated. "Blogs break important stories, but they're also repositories for rumor, so every charge needs to be checked….That takes a lot of commitment on the part of reporters and editors that (have) been eroded by charges of left-wing bias from the right, lack of outrage from the Democrats, shrinking news holes and budget cuts."
Snip......................
North County News has received hundreds of e-mails from activists across the country begging for coverage of the reported voting irregularities that aren't being chronicled in the mainstream press.
"There cannot be a fair recount because the voting machines - many were used in Ohio and were in the only precincts where exit polls were wrong - leave no paper trail and therefore their votes cannot be verified," Dr. Justin Frank, the author of Bush on the Couch, a psychoanalysis of the 43rd president, remarked. "All they do when recounting machine ballots is look at the same printout and add it up again. That is not a recount at all, because it says nothing about possible machine error."
"If there were a paper trail this would not be a problem because the paper trail could be checked against the vote total," he continued. "Since that is not the case, a recount is impossible."
"They must do a revote," Dr. Frank concluded.
