Could the 2016 Election Be Stolen with Help from Electronic Voting Machines? [View all]

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/04/23/1519098/-C


HARVEY WASSERMAN: Well, electronic voting was used to steal the presidential election right here in Ohio in 2004. John Kerry was the rightful winner in 2004 over George W. Bush. The secretary of state at the time, J. Kenneth Blackwell, and the governor, Robert Taft, used their power of electronic vote count to flip the vote to George W. Bush from John Kerry.


HARVEY WASSERMAN: We have to have universal, hand-counted paper ballots. And Bernie Sanders has endorsed that. We have to have automatic voter registration, where people can monitor the registration rolls, because people are being stripped from the registration rolls, mostly, of course, African-American and Hispanic. But this year, we’re not going to get that. And this year, it’s going to be very, very difficult, in a close election, to monitor exactly what happens, because these are black boxes. We have a wonderful actress named Bev Harris, who’s been working with Greg Palast and others, who has shown, in black box voting, that the public has no real access, no verification process for the electronic votes. And so we’re going through this huge charade here of a national campaign, primaries and then a general election, where hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent, and on election night, in 60 seconds, the actual outcome can be flipped electronically in key swing states with no verification whatsoever.


Could this Happen again to us with the Republicans ........will there be a safe election....

I and hubby where sitting and the Dem quarters that night as we did campaigning for Kerry also

watching the numbers coming in I could not believe how quick the map turn to red as it was stolen right front of your eyes you could see it...... as if it was stolen...just like Bush and Gore where Bush stole our election from Gore and I will never forget that day....

I surely hope not ......hopefully it be a safe election...for our Hillary
