‘Daily Voting News’ For November 26, 2006

Share article:

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org

“One of the great hazards of the way electronic voting has been introduced in the United States is that it could end up undermining democracy by producing unreliable election results that cannot be truly audited or corrected. This month, that nightmare became a reality. Voting machines in a Congressional race in Florida — where else? — may have swallowed about 18,000 votes, far more than the nominal winner’s razor-thin margin of victory. Because those votes were in the loser’s strongest county, if there was a computer glitch it probably changed the outcome of the race.” NYTimes Editorial. …

      Will the Overwhelmingly Fascist Media ever really start to responsibly report on The War Against American Voters? Honest articles from the mainstream corporate media are the exception rather than the rule.

      History repeats itself; I’m sure you know what I mean.

      The US Media has been a vile and irresponsible dispenser of lies and mistruths. Thankully, the noble efforts of independent bloggers who’ve done the kind of investigative journalism that the whores of the mainstream media are too corrupt and cowardly to do, help compensate for the news blackout. Of course, gratitude should also go out to http://www.rawstory.com.

      REVOTE IS THE ONLY SUCCESSFUL ASSURANCE THAT THIS DEMOCRACY HAS NOT BEEN BREACHED & CORRUPTED IN SARASOTA, FL.! WE CAN’T ALLOW THE GHOST AND LIKES OF CORRUPT KATHERINE HARRIS TO WIN ANOTHER STOLEN ELECTION THERE. JEB BUSH SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIS ROLE NOT ONLY IN THIS ONE BUT IN THE STOLEN ELECTION OF 2000 AS WELL. WONDER WHERE BAKER (IRAQ COMMISSION) SITS IN ALL OF THIS? COMPLICIT AS HELL, I SUSPECT AND WILL BE “OUTED” ONCE THE INVESTIGATIONS REALLY BEGIN….

      I appreciate all of the different areas that are covered on these boards that expose the elite criminal elements within our country and I am grateful for them. However, I don’t see enough being written about the chemtrails that are being dumped on us on almost a daily basis. We are in fact being dowsed with the equivalent of pesticides and very few people are talking about this. As I write this, I see nothing but lines all over the sky, spreading out into a large haze. This isn’t only treason at the highest level, it is reason enough to take up arms and go ballistic against this evil!!

      Please see these:

      “After six years of technological research, more than $4 billion spent by Washington on new machinery”

      We know the e-voting corporations got the money, of which I suspect a small portion will now be drizzeled upon newly-elected democrats to get them to sign on to the program… but has there been any indication that the e-voting corporations have done any actual research on e-voting at all?

      Aside from the occasional market share prospectus, I mean…

      Gregory: Tried to access the url’s you provided but page cannot be found. Can you provide another? This is something many people have little knowledge of.

      Allie, Just put chemtrails in your favorite search engine. You will not believe all the articles you will be able to access. Also go to Brad’s open thread for Thanksgiving and read my comment #18. Gregory, I totally agree with you but I’m thinking this is not the best place to discuss that phemomenom, which is happening in our skies all over the world.

      “Actually, mister chemtales posted an identical blurb two minutes later…”

      It’s gone… did I conflate, deviate, or hallucinate… or did the black helicopters whisk it away?

      Inquiring zapkitties want to know! 🙂
