HERES WHAT WE HAVE NOW
Electronic voting, do you think it is fair that, in America, only a select few, get to see the votes being counted, and that only a select few get to look at the machines that count our votes?

WAKE UP!! Every American should be able to see the votes being counted, An eight year old knows better than to allow the votes to be counted in secret, yet We and our Politicians have allowed this to happen.

WAKE UP!! Fight this bullshit..... Fight it with everything you got!!

And Please don't let them knock the wind out of you, on Nov, 7th we know the election may or may not be rigged, Be prepared to FIGHT either way, if the machine picks the Dem's, We go after the Dem's to GET RID OR THESE MACHINE, if the Repubs win, we CONTINUE to FIGHT the Repubs, either way the fight IS ON, to get rid of the secret vote counting machines.

1. Knock the wind out?
No. We will blow away their house of straw.
After we see that the Publicans some how managed to squeak out wins after the polls showing a 51-41 difference and undecideds leaning 2-1 for Dems, there is no way this election is gonna be taken lying down.

The programmers must be sweating like pigs in the slaughter line. They know we know, and after Nov. 7, just about everyone else is gonna know. 75 % of the people I talk to have an idea about what's coming our way and what hit us two years ago. That's about 75 people just in my little burg.

Then there is that blind faith 25% who are sheep. But even most of those will be saying: What the hell!!

Hey, Kster, remember when the news used to call elections at 5pm? How do you think they used to be able to do that?

3. Legal challenges are already drafted. No concessions. No surrender.
GO VOTE! More DEM voters = harder to hack. More DEM voters means easier legal challenges.

GOTV
