EXCLUSION: Guarantee does not include precincts that use non-electronic voting equipment. Click on Technology for a list of supported electronic voting equipment
…And much more. Well, what will they think of next?
Just read the web address LOL
http://www.fixavote.com/
Sure hope a bunch of Dems go to them for “guaranteed results”… kidding . This isen’t for real is it ?
They say; “Diebold Election Systems, Sequoia and ESS are in no way affiliated with Election Consultants. but…Supported Technology ; Sequoia, Diebold and ESS.” Huhh ?
No wonder people think y’all are paranoid conspiracy nuts… 🙂
… It’s a joke, son.
so…what anti e-voting group is behind this?
Somebody should do some investigative reporting and try to contact them and get them to steal an election for you. Find out exactly what they do. There’s gotta be some kind of laws against conspiracy to steal an election.
The green box about says it all!
This is a parody isn’t it? Is it???
I like the motto: Winning is EVERYTHING. hahahaha
We focus on outcome, not on process…. funnystuff
Brilliant!
I like the music, but I think “fixavote.com” is just a hoax. The domain was regitered very recently under private registration (domains by proxy).
The site lists “VoteCorrect” and “SmartVote” as trademarks. I searched the trademark database for these terms. “VoteCorrect” came up empty, and the “SmartVote” trademark is actually owned by AdTrack. The actual website for SmartVote is here … does not seem to be related to fixavote.com.
Yeah I think I’v been had 🙂

Shit, I had one similar to that, I think it was for real, but down the memory hole it went
Heres another that was good

Testimonials:
George W. Bush – “I went with ‘fixavote’, and look where I am!”
John Kerry – “I thought they wanted too much money, so I didn’t go with them.”
Jean Schmidt of Ohio – “They guaranteed me a 51%-49% victory…I highly recommend them.”
John E. Sununu of New Hampshire – “The New England ‘phone-jammer”s line was busy, so next up on my speed dial was ‘fixavote’…they came through for me.”
I sure as hell *hope* it’s a joke, but remember that we live in Bizarro World and *nothing* would surprise me…
“Would you like the ‘bottom of the 9th’ 51%-49% victory package? For an extra $100grand, we can make the vote selections flip right before the voter’s eyes, for special affects.”
Yeah, this site has been floating around for around a month.. it’s redirected from riggedelection.com as well
The domain was registered on 9/26.
However, someone created the name JoeTripp and posted about it on 9/10.
Googling on Joetripp, the most likely connection (NOT SUSPECT) is Joe Tripp, Democrat, running for County Commissioner in North Carolina.
Obviously it’s a joke, but the choice of JoeTripp as the poster who posted about it 2 weeks prior to creation could mean something.
OK so we should all laugh, and move along…nothing to see.
John
This is obviously a joke, but NOT AT ALL that far from actual material sent to election officials. I saw a training manual that had a graphic on the front page that was absolutely Orwellian.
You’ve all seen those color charts which have the three primary colors, (sing it with me – – Red, Yellow , and Blue), in three circles. The three circles intersect in the middle and produce black.
The chart on this manual had the same three circles which intersect in the middle, but instead of colors, had instructive words.
Outer circles read:
Educate – To increase voter confidence
Validate – To increase public support
Motivate – To increase voter turnout
Circles combine to produce:
Insulate – State government
2006 Midterm elections:
Duck and Cover!

I was able to find their IP address and a whole bunch of other stuff that I don’t understand what it means but thought it might help. The hosting company is found through the IP.
IP address: 74.52.128.226
Host name: fixavote.com
Alias: gator164.hostgator.com

Re #18
joetripp saga continued
….However, someone created the name JoeTripp and posted about it on 9/10.
The 9/10 was from and irish website, which is October the 9th, not the 2 weeks before site creation at all.
Could someone prove that this site is a joke please because I haven’t started laughing yet.
that’s really funny, hoss. nice catch.
Sorry JPR, but that information doesn’t help in this case – the IP is the server’s IP, and there are 257 other sites with the same IP.
However, there’s a small chance I can figure out more – have to review all 257 sites and see if there are any clues. Will take a few hours lol
John
Graham, yikes and good catch…I was working fast at lunchtime on this, saw 9-10-06 and thought it was September 9th. You’re right…their dates are goofy lol.
So the JoeTripp name could be meaningless – but since that poster only posted one time ever there, it still could have meaning.
John
gee, slow down John…9/10, thought it was Sept. 10th.
If it’s a joke, it’s a joke to get a point across.
I think Joe Tripp is a code-name for Tom Feeney…the “father of e-vote fraud”…commissioned the first vote-hacking software. A pioneer…I tellz ya!!!
OK, need a volunteer…
The server hosts over 200 other sites. Many of them are registered to Brent Oxley of Boca Raton, FL, who just happened to be the President of Host Gator as recently as 2002 (the nameserver for fixavote.com is Host Gator).
Need someone to call 1-866-964-2867 tomorrow and find out what you can. Perhaps you can get this guy on the phone and tell him about the site, and he’ll investigate, or give us info, or shut it down.
John
This is really good. It reminds me of the stuff the “Yes Men” do,
I think a note to the FBI is in order.
Seriously folks, it’s a joke site and nothing more. I can’t help but be curious as to who set it up though.
Would anyone interested in fixing elections actually call their site fixavote?
As far as I am concerned, this story is now dead. I suggest Brad delete this from the front page.
John
Offering to rig an election is probably a violation of federal law. Whoever did it could be in trouble if there’s any hint of serios business going on.
But, in this Bush era, haven’t we all thought we had already seen the most outrageous thing possible — only to be shocked the next moment by something so outrageous you can’t believe it?
Republicans are out there with their “GROUPS” to tamper with and manipulate elections domestically and in the international spheres. They operate under the guise that their goal is to spread democracy all over the world. But upon closer inspection one finds they are interceeding in the election process with the explicite intentions of subverting democracy with the hidden agenda to advance their corporatist and fascist causes to the detriment of the common citizen.
The IRI,.. International Republican Institute is one such group,.. heralding democracy as a front door agenda,.. but covertly tampering with elections to the benefit of the money classes to retain power of the political process for the oligarcies. Election dirty tricks spread round the globe by fascists for fascism.
USA taxpayer funds expended to spread corporatism and fascism around the world.
#33, you, of course, have proof of this, right? I mean, you wouldn’t just throw around wild claims like this without having some iron clad proof. Evidence that Republicans have actually been “tampering with elections to benefit the money classes to retain power…..”

I went to your blog, can you back up that Ted Kennedy crap you are spewing with iron clad proof?
You should be sued for libel.
