Most states still use Republican-made electronic voting
machines that leave no paper trails. And this has been going on for 10 years!
How many of us feel bothered by it? How many of us do mind being cheated again?

1. Don't forget the M$M is complicit in keeping a lid on this
It is NEVER discussed. It is NEVER researched. It is NEVER called into question.

5. A good reason for DU members to raise our voices and
help spread the information around.

8. We could be seeing the end of the democracy experiment if we
continued to do nothing about the Neocon's non-stop deceit and fraudulent
voting practices. If the Democrats remain too lazy to make persistent
efforts, the Neocons would only be too glad. They'd love nothing more
than another Election Win over the Democrats - and with fewer votes, too.
Neocons may be the greatest and most crooked con-artists in the world, but,
they also work harder at it. And their numbers are smaller, too.

Hard work does pay off! Yoy've got to give them credit for it.

The SC election was I think the most obvious e-voting red flag we've had so far.

But of course with the Dems doing nothing about it, just accepting an obviously fraudulent outcome, the future will I'm sure be more of the same.

The SC election was obviously fraudulent, but how many other elections have been tilted by the machines in ways that are not so obvious? Two percentage points here, 4 percentage points there?

Who knows? When you don't live in a democracy, you can never feel sure that any election represents a legal and non-fraudulent outcome.

It shouldn't have to be said, it's so obvious, but when the vote is counted in total secrecy without verification, it's impossible to have a democracy.

10. Yes, the Democrats' part of the blame is that they are too
non-caring. They don't do enough to fight against the persistent
attempts at voting fraud by the Neocons. So, Democrats are paying
the price.
