E-vote fraud, phase two.
Edited on Tue Dec-13-05 04:24 PM by kansasblue

For those that believe that the e-voting equipment is being hacked and is changing election results, then won't the next phase of abuse for this equipment be to control the Democratic primaries?

Let's say the election fraud groups get all geared up to monitor general election results but then the new trick will be just to screw with the Democratic primaries. The plan would be to advance a poor Democratic candidate that would make fraud in the general election unnecessary. Candidates so weak that even the average Democrat won't be so upset if they lost (either by true voting or equipment fraud).

1. They can't do this if the polls are too apparant
Example:

There are 3 candidates for the Pennsylvania democratic primary - Bob Casey Jr who is the frontrunner, polling ahead of Santorum by 18% and has a massive war chest. Santorum won in 2000 because he had a candidate who wasn't as well funded or well known (Casey is the son of former governor Bob Casey Sr who was very popular in the state).

So I can see what you're saying, it might benefit Santorum to have a candidate who might not have the name recognition or popularity as Casey to run against. (Before all the Pennachio people jump all over me, I'm just using this as an example. I think Chuck P could probably take Santorum).

But if Casey goes into the primaries with a strong lead against his opponents then it's going to be obvious that there's a fix if somehow another candidate wins. Even with republicans stealing elections, they can't do it in states where they are lagging behind. They need races that are close enough where the numbers wouldn't be in question if they turn out in their favor. Why do you think Katherine Harris spent all that time in Florida purging the election rolls of not only everyone convicted of a crime (felonious or not) but even people who were convicted in Texas living in Florida and people with similiar names/SSN to those who were being purged. You can only steal so many votes until it becomes obvious.

2. It was obvious there was a fix in 11/05 in Ohio with the referenda
On three of the five initiatives, pre-election polls showed results of 60/40 one way, and
the vote counts came out 40/60.

This was after Diebold machines were installed in 41 of 88 counties.

Did you hear a peep about this in the mainstream media? They're doing it right out in the
open now!

4. You can't consider Ohio - that state is doomed
I mean geez, it's the home of diebold. When figuring out where we'll pick up senate seats I automatically eliminate Ohio because no one can beat DeWine/Blackwell as long as diebold is in that state and Blackwell is secretary of state (no wonder he's running for governor, he knows the fix is in).

3. I think THEY will do anything to maintain power,
using any and all means necessary to that end, otherwise they risk exposure.

Here is an admission I have told no one,..... Virginia had open primaries prior to the 2000 election, I went to the local polling place and voted for the repuke candidates, John McCain and * were on the ballot, I am sorry to say I voted for * because I was sure the serious repukes would never vote for the idiot son of an idiot son of a nazi.

I thought McCain had a chance against the Gore ticket.

Not that it mattered with the election theft machine in place.

Without legitimate voting we do not have a democracy.

5. This exact scenario...
...seemed to work pretty well in 2004.

...Dean "suddenly" lost and then our candidate... JFK II Took a Dive.
