Being from Ohio and very informed, I wonder, will our votes ever really count again? Did they ever?

Question

What can we do to restore voter confidence in elections?

If 75% of dems, 50% of independants, and 25% of Reps not believing their vote

Answer 1

In answer to an above poster, this is about 2004 being stolen. I, too, am from Ohio and I know what happened here. Even our conservative newspaper did a list of the many things that happened in Ohio.

I feel the only thing that will restore voter confidence is to get hand counted (not machine tabulated and optically scanned) paper (not electronic machines w/or w/o paper trails and counted at the precinct (not taken somewhere to be hacked or altered).

Get involved with conducting and volunteering to do parallel elections like we are starting to do in Ohio (..more info at his site

http://www.ecotalk.org/VotingSecurity.htm

we cannot have 80% of our vote counted by 2 Republican companies, ESS & S and Diebold, that keep their softweare a proprietity secret (so fraud is undectable say computer programming experts), that are partisans and donate hundeds of thousands of dollars and promise to win elwctions for their candidates, and hire convicted felons (formerly convicted of computer fraud/hacking).

Here is a little that most Americans don't know about what happened in Ohio..read voter and poll workers own sworn testimony.


Here is the report detailing that and some of what happened in Ohio..would not let me copy the link so go here and push number 5 (us gov)

Also see freepress.org (election section) for all that crap that happened in Ohio when Bush bought and stole the 2004 election.

Answer 2

Well basically if someone is too stupid to pull a lever or mark a ballot correctly. I don't think I want them electing the next leader
regardless of party. You might go back and ask the Democrats
how they handled the vote counting in Chicago when Kennedy carried that state. I heard people voted from the grave.

I know the Dems want illegals to be able to vote. If they are illegal they shouldn't even be here.

I think it's time you got over the 2000 (you know the one the Dems wanted the military absentee ballot disqualified).
Dems are the only ones I know that scream redo when they don't get their way.

Answer 3

Its the same everywhere. I live in Mexico and we just had a close election. After decades of fraud and corruption, our election was one of the best monitored, fairest and cleanest in the entire history of Mexico.

Almost 1,000,000 national election workers attested that it was completely clean and fair, so did almost 1,000,000 individual party workers at the polls. Tens of thousands of observers from dozens of international organizations, the UN, the national and foreign media, all attested that it was Mexico's finest election in history! Hell even the great American flake Jimmy Carter said so!

That didn't stop the losing party, the whining sniveling extreme left wing, from screaming "fraud" at the top of their lungs for over two and a half months now! Every piece of "evidence" they have presented has proven to be lies, fabricated or simply non-existent. They simply now claim that "everyone involved is corrupt:" the election workers, the party workers (including 250,000 of their OWN party workers) the entire Mexican government, The IFE Election Institute, the Judicial Election Tribunal, the Army (who guarded the polls and ballots), ALL the other parties, ALL the foriegn observers, ALL the foreign media, ALL the national media, half of the leadership of their OWN party (who claim the election was fair) Every single one is "corrupt."

(They even claimed that business groups - like Jumex juice and Volkswagon - used "subliminal" brainwashing of the voters by using the color blue in their ads -the color of the winning conservative candidate-)


And just like the corrupt Democrats in Florida, when they lost, their very first tactic was to demand that all the constitutional law regarding elections, vote counting and recounts be thrown out the window so that they could keep trying again and again until they won......

The raving, extremist atheist hard left are having an increasingly difficult time actually winning free elections anywhere, so they have come up with this new tactic. Everytime they lose, why, its just because everybody else "cheated" .............

Answer 4

i will answer your question actually. who's the 'ultimate' Arsenal participant ever. Tony Adams, with out question. He surely did no longer be able of Thierry or the non-flying dutchman, yet as a great, they do no longer get to any extent further useful. Captain of the club for sort of 15 years. the main unswerving and good participant the club has ever had. He consistently gave each thing, heart and soul for Arsenal. whilst the going have been given hard, he became the 1st to stand up and depend. He gained 4 league titles, 3 FA cups, a million league cup and the Euro Cup Winners Cup. alongside with 66 England caps and became England Captain on 15 occassions. inspite of all his very own issues, he got here lower back time and time lower back an excellent extra useful participant. His loyalty to the club under no circumstances waived and he became the golf equipment maximum intense participant for over a decade. He scored 2 of the main gratifying objectives ever, the purpose interior the a million-0 FA Cup Semi-very final win over Spurs in 1993. And the desirable purpose (a volley, no much less) against Everton interior the 4-0 win over Everton that secured the league in 1998. the single and in straightforward terms, Mr Arsenal.

Answer 5

One thing - get involved.

Also, consider this - the people working the polls, are your neighbors. Elections in your county are handled by the elected officals - which are elected at the local level.

Don't like your elections officials - run against them. Concerned about the way elections are hanlded in your county? Volunteer to be a poll worker - or, volunteer to be a poll watcher for a candidate or political party - you can stand at the polling place all day and watch for irregularities.

Don't like your states election laws - run for the State Legislature and work to change them - find out who your elected officials are, research the laws, come up with your reasons why they are bad, or flawed, and then present your elected official with ideas for new legislation to fix or change those problems.

You don't have confidence in the voter system - work to change it.

Answer 6

I live in FL & I've asked the same thing. They still refuse to give us a paper trail. In 2000, they stopped the re-count because it was getting too close. If you go to Neil Rogers show & scroll down, there is a video which shows how easy it is to rig voting machines (look for a balding man with blue eyes & click on his picture)

Answer 7

Get a grip - your votes were counted - don't listen to polls - polls are the result of the lazy and uninformed continually talking to each other instead of checking the facts. No one is stealing votes - what you are hearing is a portion of the political process who has no ideas, no plans for the future, no agenda - grumbling about the logical outcome of their bankrupt idealogy. It's typical of them to complain about the process when they have done everything that they could to antagonize vast portions of the electorate. If it weren't for the networks and other major media outlets constantly repeating the same empty garbage - the dems would get about 20% of the votes. They keep jawjacking about the same old baseless charges, and it's been proven, time and again that the votes were counted, and counted correctly. If they would get off their dead butts and stand up for something, instead of being against everything, maybe they could honestly get more support when we hold elections.

Answer 8

We can get a good start by doing away with both Taft and Blackwell...especially Blackwell. Having said that, I usually vote repub lol!!

Answer 9

You are lucky. Consider this.

I am from the UK and the outcome of your elecrions affect me. Yet I dont get to vote at all.

Answer 10
