DIEBOLD is the GOP's secret weapon this year - but not how you think
Advertisements [?]
Too much is at stake for Cheney to let mere voters decide whether or not he will be investigated for his myriad, heinous crimes. Therefore, the Democrats must not/will not be allowed to take over either house.

So what will be done to stop this?

Electronic voting machines, in addition to massive voter fraud, intimidation, and suppression. However, too many people are on to them simply fixing results with their little video game machines disguised as ballot counters. If Democrats are not elected in districts where there are currently massive majorities for them, the game will be up, followed by investigations that reveal the whole slimy truth.

So, instead, when Democrats win, the GOP will suddenly cry "fix!" and point to the unsecure voting machines. Everyone knows that they are not to be trusted, and the GOP will find that distrust to its advantage. They will tie the election up in court battles.

Because the Democratic leaders have not had the stones to tie the previously stolen elections up in court battles, have not had the stones to call attention LOUDLY to the problem with electronic voting machines, they are about to have this issue stolen from them by the GOP. They will use it to their full advantage, probably mobilizing mobs in the streets - another technique that the GOP has the guts to use, which Democratic leaders and rank and filers apparently do not. Witness the elections in the Ukraine in 2004, when Yushchenko was put into office via our (mainly GOP controlled) government supporting mobs in the streets, supporting the results of exit polling instead of the official ballot results. They will do the same thing here.

Fixing the elections via the machines has been a great strategy for them, but they know the jig is nearly up - too many people are on to them, and now the issue is becoming mainstream, witness the HBO documentary on this week. They will turn to the courts instead, where Karl Rove has engineered wins for at least three elections for his candidates long after voting day, and fight to overturn the election of Democratic winners across the country.

Be ready.
