VotersUnite would like to express our gratitude to all who have assisted us in the past year. We truly appreciate your support and friendship. We would like to wish you all the best for the New Year. While great strides were made this past year, unfortunately, it takes the failures of the voting machine vendors for us to get some people to listen; but they are beginning to hear now and actions are being taken. We have a very busy year in front of us with primary elections and then the general election in November. Unfortunately this year may be another “Train Wreck.” Hopefully this will be the last. We hope you have a better year than last.
And with that, today’s notable voting news stories are all linked below as usual…

With all due respect, John, and great appreciation for your seemingly tireless devotion to the truth, I don’t think we can afford one last fraudulent presidential “election.” We’ve had enough of those, already, and as Alan Ginsburg noted upon watching the launch of an ICBM, “The Earth is fucked!” We simply cannot allow the BFEE and the CMSM and the inchoate fascism that is growing in America like the vilest and most malignant of tumors to live to rule for another term(s). The stake must be driven through the heinous, evil heart of this cabal. Other than that minor beef with your post, right on, brother! We shall overcome!
