Showing Original Post only (View all)Guess WHO's Setting Up The GOP’s NEW VOTE RIGGING SYSTEM? [View all]

SUNLIGHT,.....the best disinfectant!......spread the news!...........
The GOP is not out of the election manipulation business yet. Despite the uncovering of Karl Roves attempt to hack the election by the hacker collective Anonymous, the Washington Examiner has unveiled how the Republican Party is building a digital network designed to rival, and surpass, Romneys vote challenger system Orca. For those who do not remember, Orca was a centralized computer system which, on the surface, allowed for direct ties between the election headquarters and the poll challengers, using mobile apps. Orca was Romneys attempt to out-do Obamas election machine. As reported by Anonymous, Orca held a darker secret, and was set up to manipulate the election in a similar manner to what is theorized happened in 2004 with Ohio where a server went dead for 90 minutes in the middle of an election, and the tabulation miraculously flipped from John Kerry to George W. Bush.
This new system, being developed by former Facebook engineer Andy Barkett, the Republican National Committees chief technology officer, looks capable of allowing even more insidious poll and vote manipulation than ever before. The plan involves intrusive data scrubbing through detailed observation, using set-top boxes such as those provided by your cable provider to analyze viewing habits on an individual household level. It also scrubs social media to selectively target voters for advertising. Combining the two, the GOP is plotting on becoming Big Brother, and they plan on having it ready for a dry run for the 2014 elections, securing candidates which have the approval of the party bosses while eliminating competition, such as Tea Party wildcards who all but destroyed Mitt Romneys chances in 2012 though comments such as legitimate rape.
How such a system would work is relatively simple. They can keep track of your viewing and browsing habits, seeing an individual or families likes and dislikes. Then they coordinate this data with advertisement centers, such as News Corp to target them specifically. Find out a person is anti-gun, they make sure pro-gun advertising and endorsements of candidates do not get distributed. Find out that same person loves kittens, new flyer arrives with the national parties chosen candidate holding a baby calico. Then combine that level of detail with the vote challengers which the party has regularly employed. Now they can be incredibly selective of challenges, making sure that they only challenge the people who, through their media exposure, would be disinclined to vote for the parties chosen candidate. All through the vote challengers smartphone. This is direct, immediate, and ultimately the disenfranchisement undermines the goals of democracy itself.
To alleviate the fears that the national party will be manipulating or controlling the polling results and voter turnout, they have claimed to have turned over the keys to this system to a private company. However, basic research reveals that this private company, Data Trust, is not some independent group but instead is a group managed by Karl Rove. The same man who threw a fit on-air when his system failed to steal the election in 2012. Karl Rove is preparing his next move, and this time it is no longer for a candidate, but for a nation. One nation under Rove. He is the kingmaker. And he has no love of the Tea Party. With this system in place expect a massacre of Tea Party candidates nationwide.
