‘Daily Voting News’ For July 09, 2006

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org and VoteTrustUSA.Org

While the GOP in Utah is demanding recounts in three races the state has to figure out how to do those recounts. If there is any doubt as to how the state is leaning you only need to listen to the Lt. Gov.’s spokesman, Joe Demma, who says “The area we see the most susceptibility to need a recount are the paper ballots.” / A Grand Jury may explore nine issues with one race in Boyd Co. Kentucky where 530 more votes were cast than voters who voted. / Wherever the elections are close this fall, they’ll most likely be scrutinized by armies of lawyers. By setting those January 2006 deadlines for various reforms, “Congress designed it this way so we would have 2006 be our ‘get experience’ year,” says Doug Lewis, head of the nonprofit Election Center, which trains election officials. Then everything will be smoothed out in time for the 2008 presidential election. Or that’s the idea, anyway.(USNews)…

      Lt. Governors chief of staff in Utah says this:

      “The area we see the most susceptibility to need a recount are the paper ballots”

      That seems like a strange thing to say. Is he trying to impugn the accuracy of the paper ballots or is he saying we need to recount them to insure accuracy?

      It sounds like election warlord speak to me. They have their own language, and not only that, they have roving interpretations.

      Guess who they learn it from?

      For instance, each year Cheney and Rumsfeld do their interpretation of the day. Notice that when they are interpreting what they said last year, they wax “creative” in their interpretations.

      It is sorta like the guy who said only uninformed people think there is just one way to spell a word.

      They take it one step further, and say that the uninformed know only one way to interpret what they said last year.

      Words change in meaning you know 🙂 .

      One possible quote from ANY, (currently employed) Utah election official:

      You know, it’ll take time to restore chaos and order””order out of chaos. But we will.

      YOU GO BOYS!

      Yes, Larry, I’m afraid that our whole “establishment” has been so heavily infiltrated by KAOS agents, that it is going to be impossible to get any satisfaction, any straight dope, outta these “official” poseurs. It is the sworn duty of all CONTROL agents to fight them at every turn, but they have really outdone themselves lately. Their infiltration is EVERYWHERE in our system. Still, we must, we will, prevail!

      Would you believe… cramp their style?

      How about… piss them off?

      I’m always so glad that I’m on the side that gets to tell the truth. It doesn’t pay nearly as well, but It’s a much better job.

      Sounds to me like they’re getting their talking points from a professional voting machine sales outfit that has a good PR (or is it P-Ops)line 🙂

      Its so nice to have a one stop shop in our country, isn’t it ?
