Do Liberals still believe that Diebold fixes elections?

Question

Or was that just a conspiracy theory concocoted by Democrats in order to regain power?

Answer 1

Did you see the Conyers report? Probably not, no major media outlet picked it up because our media has sold out and all serve special interests.

Anywho the Conyers report is a Congressional investigation to major discrepancies in voting numbers in Ohio, it was messed up. Check it out.

http://www.truthout.org/Conyersreport.pdf

An exerpt:

There were numerous, significant unexplained irregularities in other counties throughout the state: (i) in Mahoning county at least 25 electronic machines transferred an unknown number of Kerry votes to the Bush column; (ii) Warren County locked out public observers from vote counting citing an FBI warning about a potential terrorist threat, yet the FBI states that it issued no such warning; (iii) the voting records of Perry county show significantly more votes than voters in some precincts, significantly less ballots than voters in other precincts, and voters casting more than one ballot; (iv) in Butler county a down ballot and underfunded Democratic State Supreme Court candidate implausibly received more votes than the best funded Democratic Presidential candidate in history; (v) in Cuyahoga county, poll worker error may have led to little known thirdparty candidates receiving twenty times more votes than such candidates had ever received in otherwise reliably Democratic leaning areas; (vi) in Miami county, voter turnout was an improbable and highly suspect 98.55 percent, and after 100 percent of the precincts were reported, an additional 19,000 extra votes were recorded for President Bush.

And then you get this from the CEO of the company that makes these machines, conflict of interests you think?

COLUMBUS - The head of a company vying to sell voting machines in Ohio told Republicans in a recent fund-raising letter that he is "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year."

The Aug. 14 letter from Walden O'Dell, chief executive of Diebold Inc. - who has become active in the re-election effort of President Bush - prompted Democrats this week to question the propriety of allowing O'Dell's company to calculate votes in the 2004 presidential election.

O'Dell attended a strategy pow-wow with wealthy Bush benefactors - known as Rangers and Pioneers - at the president's Crawford, Texas, ranch earlier this month. The next week, he penned invitations to a $1,000-a-plate fund-raiser to benefit the Ohio Republican Party's federal campaign fund - partially benefiting Bush - at his mansion in the Columbus suburb of Upper Arlington

ehhh...not that you care, there is not a true Patriot left in the
Republican party as far as I can see....who cares if our democracy is falling apart, as long as we fight terrorists. Ignore the terrorists within the system though.

Answer 2

Absolutely, But Conservatives Know It's Fixed.

There No Better Way To Make The Sheeple Believe Presidential and State Elections Are Real But With Close Elections, Fabricated Poles, Hanging Chads And Recounts.

You Don't Actually Believe *****'s Are Voted Into The Senate Do Ya?

------------------------------------------------------------------

US ***** Populas: 13%

US ***** Registered Voters: 5% of American ****** Are Registered Voters.

This Means That If ALL ***** Registered Voters Voted For A *****, It Would Be Less Than Half Of 1% Of Registerd Voters Voting For Them.

How Many Caucasian Votes Would The ***** Need?

****** Are Appointed By Affirmative Action Within The Ruling Elitists To Keep ****** Happy.

They Are Not Voted In, Trust Me. It's A Con And A Lie On The America People.

Answer 3

Actually, even conservatives, or anyone that's researched this topic knows that touch-screen machines are not trustworthy. In Florida, we had thousands of votes lost in Sarasota. Our Republican governor, Charlie Crist, is going to spend millions of dollars to convert our touch-screen Diebold machines which do not allow any paper trail to optical scanning machines that do allow a paper trail. He is a Republican that agrees that the Diebold machines are not trustworthy, and is going to spend millions to ensure that we do have more trustworthy machines and a paper trail. I think it is a smart move because any machine that is capable of being hacked could be hacked by a party that you don't want it to be, whether Republican or Democrat.

Answer 4

Why would you want a technology that could be manipulated. And why do I hear more Conservatives pushing for it than Liberals who are complaining about it?...Are you some sort of election expert that has some special interest in seeing that we have casino technology in the polls? I can't believe that your reasons for pushing this has anything to do with the ease of counting votes...and the more I hear from Con's pushing it, the more I think there is a reason to be against it

Answer 5

Dems regained the house and senate in spite of the Diebold voting machines that leave no way to verify votes and can be hacked by the party who purchased them, the repubs.

Answer 6

Democrats regained power by the process of free elections.

Or do you doubt the ability of the American people to prevail?

Answer 7

Recall, that the current AG controversy revolves around Repub allegations of voter fraud that the Bush Admin. felt weren't investigated thoroughly enough by certain Fed attorneys.

But you try to couch Dem allegations of voter fraud as all loony and extreme?

By your own analysis, the Bush Administration is loony and extreme. Case closed.

Answer 8

Are you kidding? 0.5 the electorate available turn on a dime. by skill of the time elections get here, they're going to have forgotten approximately extreme gas expenditures, the fee of the conflict, the federal deficit, etc.etc. a pair of quarter of them would have all they'd do purely to get off their @$$ and vote.

Answer 9

see a documentary called "Hacking Democracy."

maybe that will be the crowbar that you need to get your head out of your ***.

is it possible for a machine to record NEGATIVE votes? cause that is what happened, more than once. the evidence is not hard to find, you brainwashed moron.
