Wasn't sure whether to believe the Anonymous/Rove story,until the reaction telling us to shut up @it

89. I agree with you. Evidence is important. Ignoring evidence is the status quo.

Do you remember Andy Stephenson? He told me a story about asking an elderly election worker if her computer was connected to the internet. She indignantly replied that it wasn't because it was against the rules. He politely pointed out the modem connection (this was back in ancient 2004 days), and she explained that it was for email (which she truly didn't understand had "something" to do with the internet).



There is a widely circulating YouTube video of an election machine in 2012 that WOULD NOT take a vote for Obama. Back in 2004 (again, ancient days), there was a beautiful website that contained over THREE HUNDRED cases of "issues" with voting machines - and all but two favored Republicans. These were well documented - and no one in authority did anything to investigate.

You can read these stories in the DU archives under "Election Integrity". They were real.

There is a woman "Who Shall Not Be Named" who had a video of machine tapes in trash bags in Florida (again, 2004). This was widely reported on DU, and her name was not unknown to appropriate officials.

NO ONE in an official capacity *EVER* investigated this incident.

For over a decade, "voter suppression" techniques have made voting in certain areas - Florida comes to mind awfully fast, doesn't it? - a (polite word) challenge, with hours of lines. This is well documented in the media. It is not a surprise. It is reality.

Notice all the prosecutions? Can you count to Zero?

I support perp walking *anyone* who interferes with voting and election integrity. I do not pretend these things don't or can't happen. I am not in a position to be of much help, except to add my voice to the chorus.
