He is now running as a conservative democrat against congressman Feeney..

What is the answer to this problem?...check back later for one way you can help..

you can help by emailing your and other congressmen and assking them to cosign and support house bill 6200 (HB 6200) just introduced into congress 2 weeks ago. This bill, if passed, will force all presidential elections to be on paper ballots that are hand counted at the precinct in full view and in a totally transparent way and thus restore voter confidence at leasdt in presidential elections. I may repy to some of you below..

EDIT to Max--no, I do not believe in voter fraud from any pasrty and would fight just as hard if this massive vote raud wa against reps as when someone besides the American people is chosing our politicans and ballot issues, the democracy troops have died for and people fought for here is in vain for all americans. It is not a partisan issue really.

EDIT to Ds--excellent, excellent points..I totally agree...all this is happening and more and both parties are of, for, and by the corporations not the people.

birdsnake-we are talking about MASSIVE vote fraud in the PRESENT..why do res ignore it and always say the same things but never address the cutrrent ease of hacking machines and optical scanners and the evidence that this is currently happenig..do you not care about democracy, former troops lives, and honesty? same ol same ol with you guys.

amg-thank for what you said. I am extremely involved with voting rights groups and the consensis is paper trails will not protect us (especially if recount is fradulent as it was here in Ohio with Backkwell (secretary of state and cochair of reelect Bush campaign) breaking several election laws, rep judges being partisan, and not impartial, Triad vote company altering voting machines before recount and telling employees of board of elections to post "cheat sheets" (whistleblower was fired).

Paper ballots hand counted is the only safe way as all punch cards and paper ballots are optically scanned by easy to defraud machines too. They don't give us safe voting because they don't trust the people and need to cheat to get their laws that benefit corporations/wealthy passed, etc. Voter confidnce is down. 75% of dems don't believe vote counts. 50% independents, and 25% reps..this is fine with them foif just reps start voting, they won't have to work so hard to explain away exit polls etc.

cancu--yes that is one I posted..he also passed 2 lie detector tests..lying before US congress under oath is a serious crime and he was a repulican for 40 years and has turned in spies that were selling secrets to China too and was proven true by CIA after they investigated. He is an honest person.

Answer 1

When you make donations to one party, receive contracts from that party, and write the software, and also keep it secret, then it's not so difficult.
There is no need to hack the software, just write it to give you the result you prefer.
But your barking up the wrong tree, Republican or Democrat makes no difference. Which group of corrupt rich men do you prefer?

Answer 2

"birdsnakecathrine" should note that almost 20,000 votes from a prodominantly black, Democratic county went missing in 2000.

I saw the video a University made (not sure which one) which showed how to do it. Obviously, they didn't show you how to make the code & upload it, but it really scared me that almost anybody can tamper with a voting machine.

We've taken steps back before when we've had problems; we need to step back & say "Whoa, this is a possible threat. We need to fix this. In the meanwhile, we'll use paper ballots."

That's another thing: NO paper trail. Why isn't there a paper trail? Not only would it help in possible voter tampering (if it were ever to happen), but what if a power surge it a precinct, and fried the voting machines? While it's unlikely, precautions need to be taken.

Something NEEDS to be done when it gets to the point where people start loosing faith in the voting process.

Answer 3

Our EC is an unbiased company. They have performed the process really good. The UPA received and the NDA was once rejected. NO NDA chief ever stated that the machines have been tampered with. Let them arise with well strategies for the following time. They have bought sufficient time to turn out themselves. Have a pleasant day !!

Look at this!

Why would anyone lie under oath with nothing to gain and even name a speaker of the House! It is too easy to check!!

Answer 5

One news story I read claimed that when the Diebold software was examined by a Computer Science class, they concluded it was not as well protected as any commercial computer game.

Answer 6

Not as easy as getting illegals to vote Democrat.
Not as easy as getting the dead to vote like the Democrats do each election.
Not as easy as voting more than once like the Democrats do each election.
IF, you really care about voter fraud, check out how the Democrats OWN voter fraud.
Always have. Always will.
Check out how JFK got elected...etc...etc...

Answer 7

Answer 8

I dont know if it is easy or not. Maybe it would be okay with you if it was a democrat doing it.
