[rainbow4321]

Do we really need the people who fuck up our election guarding the founding papers? Guess they are there to let Rove and shrub into the room to RE-WRITE them???


Googling "Diebold" can be a scary thing:

10. Guess it explains the movie this past weekend....

"National Treasure"..would have been very cool and timely if they had had a large DIEBOLD sign on the National Archive's security system as Cage's character hacked into it...heh, heh, heh...:evilgrin:

15. They'll be switched and hidden in Cheney's undisclosed bunker

[AlexHamilton]

5. haha

If that isn't irony! The same company that is simultaneously trouncing the Constitution by not producing a verifiable trail is guarding the document itself. Anyone want to bet there's a "mishap" with the document? Too funny...

7. NOTHING TO DO WITH MADSEN'S THEORY, THIS IS MY OWN TAKE

http://www.firstcoastnews.com/politics/news-article.aspx?storyid=26823

This is odd. Say you wanted to rig an election. How would one do it? What would be the easiest way to do it, without involving too many people? A good old fashioned "crisis." Scare people away from the crime scene so the dirty business can be done. Everyone knows that if Kerry was going to win he would need OHIO or FLORIDA or both. Those are the only two that would need to be messed with to assure victory for either side. In Ohio there was the famous "Warren County Lockdown" because of "terror" threats. What about the less infamous "Bomb Threat" at the State Elections Office in Tallahassee the day before the election. I guess my point is this....... The only two places that needed to "fixed" (Ohio& Florida) both had a scare tactic applied to a government building the day of, or the day before the election. If they both had the same "crisis" on the same day it would look odd even to people who are not avid news watchers.
The State Elections Office in Tallahassee holds what? The main tabulating computers. It would actually be easier to hack in the main tabulating computers before the actual election because you can place "kernels" in place and never have to mess with it again, and you would still get what looks like "actual" results. The Warren County Courthouse holds what? The optical scan equipment that can be hacked into and votes can be messed with from as low as the local level and as far as the state and national level. By doing it this way you would actually have control before and after the election and you run a smaller chance in getting caught because your using to different modes at two different times.
To get this done all you would need is 2 or 3 people in Ohio and Florida to get this done. Not an army of computer hackers. Does anyone else besides me notice that there were means, opprotunity, and motive here? This even explains the exit polls......

Thank you,

8. I agree with your assessment

for those two states. They may have used different methods for other states though.

[lowmanknows]

12. To be honest with you.....

I think the only other methods that were used were old 'Jim Crow', and pure voter suppression. I think Ohio and Florida were planned in the back of Jeb and roves mind for a while though. One or other or both had to be won for a victory.

9. Thanks

I have been asking for days, "why Warren?" I never made sense to me that Warren would be shut down just to rig the local county results. Too much risk for too little gain. There has to be something special about what was available about Warren. You just answered my question: "The Warren County Courthouse holds what? The optical scan equipment that can be hacked into and votes can be messed with from as low as the local level and as far as the state and national level." You also just explained how the same conditions existed in Florida. Very good detective work.

[lowmanknows]

11. Thank you ........

I actually came up with this theory the day after the election. All I could think about was why the two most important swing states would cry 'crisis', I figured there had to be a common denominator.

13. I think you're on to something big.....

Wayne Madsen, are you listening?

17. Then there was that Palm Beach County Courthouse shut down

due to "mold" from the hurricane. Wonder what their courthouse has?

14. They're planning to spread lemon juice on the back of the documents

to look for buried treasure.

[Eloriel]

16. The symbolism of this is too perfect

Think of it: our founding document, the basis of our democracy, in the hands of a private corporation which ALSO has too big a share of its hands on the OTHER basis of democracy itself, the vote. Two of our democracy's major features firmly in the hands and under the control of a corporation.

18. Probably another no bid contract....

Or did they have to pick between Halliburton and Diebold?
