7. First Diebold stolen election: Cleland vs. Chambliss '02.
Tue Jul 21, 2015, 01:30 PM
Jul 2015

First of a series of ES&S/Diebold s/elections to create the illusion that the American people are brain-damaged assholes who can't tell the difference between real leaders and brain-damaged asshole leaders.

Between 2002 and 2004, our vote counting system was STOLEN as electronic voting machines were spread like a plague across the country, most of them sold by ES&S (which bought out Diebold), all of them run on 'TRADE SECRET' programming code--code that the public is forbidden to review--with NO AUDIT AT ALL in half the states in the country (including Georgia), and a miserably inadequate 1% audit in the other half. You wonder how a brain-damaged asshole fascist like Scott Walker could become governor of one of our most progressive states? THIS. IS. HOW.

So, when some brain-dead fascist asshole comes out with yet another brain-dead fascist asshole policy, action or statement--like hanging a whistleblower in public--we should actually be comforted by the fact that he or she was very likely chosen by phantom voters manufactured in ES&S's basement in Omaha, Nebraska.

Then--after we feel a bit comforted by the mind-boggling fact that most of our votes are 'counted' by ONE, PRIVATE, FAR RIGHTWING-CONNECTED CORPORATE USING 'TRADE SECRET' CODE--we need to have a real 'Boston Tea Party' and throw these election theft machines into the nearest swamp water that we can find (so to speak).
