Evidence of Electronic Vote Fraud Pours In from Both Liberal and Conservative Sources
Ron Paul supporters, progressives and the mainstream media have all discussed the potential for vote fraud.
A global internet voting company headquartered in Spain recently purchased America’s dominant election results reporting company.
The Wall Street Journal wrote in a 2008 article entitled, “Will This Election Be Stolen?“:
And then there are the e-voting machines. Since early voting started recently, worried voters have reported seeing their votes flipped from Barack Obama to Mr. McCain in West Virginia and Texas.
We reported in 2006:
The non-partisan and highly-respected government agency, the Government Accountability Office, verified that the electronic voting machines used in 2004 were wide open to fraud, and that fraud likely occured in Ohio, Iowa, Nevada, New Mexico, and other states.
The security flaws in electronic voting machines are so complete that anyone can instantaneously install software which will change the vote counts. See this New York Times’ Magazine analysis, and also E-Voting Machine an Easy Hack from Wired Magazine.
Exit polling data shows that there was vote fraud.
And Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and leading reporter Greg Palast have shown that the emperor’s cronies intentionally spoiled, rejected, purged and otherwise refused to count enough ballots to take the election away from Kerry (not that I like Kerry). See also this article.
Moreover, And spend 10 minutes at this website and you’ll realize that electronic vote fraud is not some raving conspiracy theory, but is real.
Indeed, the following headlines from the last two weeks hint at the magnitude of the fraud:
- Ohio Election Workers Sentenced to 18 Months for Rigging 2004 Presidential Recount; Judge Says He Believes the Conspiracy Goes Higher…
- Black Box Voting – one of the most credible organizations investigating voting issues – has received unofficial reports that political operatives have urged citizens NOT to ask too many questions and NOT to take photos or video of precinct caucus results, warning them that only “conspiracy theorists” would want to independently confirm the announced results.
In this 2012 election, reports of electronic vote fraud are now pouring in from both liberal and conservative sources:

“Experimental” software patches on Ohio voting machines may sway the vote.
And Steve Watson notes:
Multiple reports of electronic voting machine irregularities have begun to pour in from all over the country as Americans take to the polls today.
Voters in Hamilton County Indianapolis were forced to wait for 30 minutes to begin voting because the machines were not working when the polling station opened.
The AP reports that “cards used to clear tallies from machines before voting begins were improperly programmed,” meaning that around 500 machines had to be “reset”.
The Toledo Blade reports that some 100 voters were unable to cast ballots this morning in Bedford, Ohio, because a voting machine was not working. Officials said that a memory card had to be replaced. Long lines led to people walking away.
In Dubuque, Iowa, more voters were delayed when machines failed to operate for around 45 minutes after the polling station opened.
Reports from across North Carolina, one of the key swing states, are pouring in suggesting that voting machines are flipping votes from one candidate to the other.
In Greensboro, “a voter complained that they tried to vote for Mitt Romney three times but that the ballot cast was instead for Barack Obama. Other voters in Guilford County and in some other parts of the state said they experienced similar issues.”
In Charlotte, another voter reported the same problem.
In Rehoboth, Massachusetts problems with voting machines were also noted. The machines officials are using are 14 years old, according to the report. Problems were also reported in Tewksbury, Massachusetts.
In Milford Township, Pennsylvania, three voting machines stopped working after just one hour of voting. After a technician got them working again, one of them broke down a second time, causing waiting voters to begin discussing their distrust of the machines and the potential for voter fraud.
In Crawford County, problems with machines were also reported. They had not been set to the correct time, so were unable to be used for a short period of time.
In Missouri, the Secretary of State’s office has been forced to respond after numerous voters claimed that machines were flipping votes for Romney to votes for Obama.
In Pittsburgh, voters have reported multiple problems with voting machines.
In Sandy Springs, Georgia, hundreds of people were delayed when voting machines went down at around 11 a.m.
In Nashville, Tennessee, technical issues with the machines were reported by many voters, while in Chattanooga, machines malfunctioned, meaning some voters had to put their ballots in the machine without them being scanned.
In Fredericksburg, Northern Virginia, hundreds of voters were turned away as all of the electronic voting machines at one polling station failed to operate. Polling workers only had 50 paper ballots available. Worse still, some voters who used the machines were told that their votes would not count if they had placed them before 8am.
In Spartanburg County, South Carolina, voting machines have failed to work all day and election officials have twice run out of paper ballots.
In Faulkner County, Arkansas, machines were reported inoperable.
Some areas in Virginia reported voting machine problems.
Voters in California have complained that voting machines switched their votes for Obama to Romney.
***
Last week this same problem was reported in six other states.
In Ohio, a lawsuit has been filed following the installation of software into voting machines by the state that experts say could allow “back door” vote manipulation by non-election board officials.
Green Party candidate Robert J. Fitrakis filed papers yesterday in federal court in Columbus, seeking an order blocking the use of the machines and the software in vote counting. Named as defendants in the case are Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted and Omaha,
Nebraska- based Election Systems & Software Inc.
As we have routinely reported during elections, electronic voting machines have caused significant problems. Many security experts are adamant that the machines can easily be hacked, and past cases have shown that vote fraud has been facilitated by the use of electronic voting machines.

this has to be my WTF moment of the day!
> touch screen vote for Obama switches to Romney <
It's all over the web already. I'm personally inviting some Russians to oversee our 2016 elections - if they happen.
" in god we trust "
all others , not so much.
.
"...in modules, the code can eat itself. .."
thereby destroying the evidence and trust;
granting persuasion rights or authority to
the administrative domain. another means
of wrongful abuse of / or assumption of
"power". (the mechanisms of fascism) in
broad daylight.
do we need to see every permutation of fraud
and debauchery of principle in the information
age before we recognize that the money system is
the pinnacle of fraud, the root of fraudulent
motivation? probably that and worse (worsity)
if it be left up to the "authorities" and "leadership".
bankersters.
Well, at least the fraud is fair and balanced.
Hey,I hear there is an election going on in the USSA.
So ya's get to pick between two pieces of shit that have been pre selected for you's,and decide which one yous want to flush and which on yous want to leave floating around in the bowl.
Sounds like a pretty shitty deal.
just knee jerks, electronic ones, don't let a knee jerk make you feel like its a true orgasmic thingie; its just froth on the beer. Keep your eye on the ball not on the wall and the fly.
obvious facts of vote manipulation for any and all to see..so what I ask? diebold got my votes for the last time.
I know not voting is wrong but voting and not having any faith in the total reflecting my true vote is the decider..
never again will I vote in a system that has no accoutablity. then voting with a bullet becomes an option.
Just for shits and giggles, I think we should set up undercover videographers in random locations through out the country. When the unseemly victim/voter goes to said booth to make his/her choice, a small jolt of electricity should shock the voter out of his stupor for all to see.
The veneer used to keep the public compliant is wearing thinner and thinner by the moment.
Think a third party candidate vote is wasted? It has a great deal of leverage determining the eventual winner. Notable winners with less than 50% of the popular vote include:
1. Truman in '48
2. Nixon in '68
3. Clinton in both '92 and '96
4. GW Bush in '00
Carter and Reagan won landslides of 50.08% and 50.75% respectively.
I expect Obama to win this election with less than 50% as well. The Repubs should be kicking themselves for not appealing to the many other anti-Obama voters. And the Libs will be congratulating themselves for not screwing up by abandoning their guy, even though he often abandoned them.
Obama will be Diebolded. He has no chance of winning.
Once again, TPTB threw off the public by all the Voter-ID business. A classic mis-direction of resources.
Resources that should have been used to shore up the count corruption schemes and issues.
Anyone recall the MINISCULE percentage of identification problems relative to the MASSIVE other problems from automation and other changes?
But Voter ID was the only thing in the headlines for weeks and months. Classic mis-direction through manipulation.
Look to the Electoral College, those are the votes that actually count. And I'm far more concernced about campaign finance, where is all this money coming from and what is it buying those that provide it? Are they foreign interests or domestic? How do we know? This is far more important than this popular vote distraction.
6.4 billion can buy a lot of coach.
It can buy a lot of Senators also.
There's an easy solution to the issue of fraud. You get to vote when you pay your property tax. Otherwise no voting privileges. Finally, those who actually pay the cost of government would have a say in its size. Voting is vastly overrated anyway.
Ah! At last! A real democracy. One dollar, one vote.
250% increase in property taxes would fix that
Vote for Jesus; he will be here VERY soon to end this insanity which we call human governance of earth (anyone on this board think humanity has more than a couple hundred years left, at max, if that?) Who is gonna stop the wars, and free us from enslavement? Not Obamney, that's for sure, and unfortunately not Ron Paul, either...don't lower yourself to participate in this farce
and CERTAINLY don't waste worry on vote fraud.
International Observers should be monitoring the US American Election.

I was going to add a pithy comment, but I have been laughing for so long I have forgotten what it was....
Here's to buildings on fire and blood in the streets
Meh. I don't care. What I want is a good show on TV (riots and pundits meltdowns).
You mention BlackBoxVoting(Bev Harris) but no link to the actual site?

From back in the day...before electronic voting, the Collier brothers and Vote Scam.
or the book at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Votescam-Stealing-James-M-Collier/dp/0963416308
The best thing is that it barely speeds up the revelation of the voting outcome.
I am SHOCKED! Shocked I tell you. To think that there would be corruption in voting! /sarc
wise words from the other Mr. Buffett

I care not who votes, only who counts the vote.
Stalin said it, but current Congressman Peter King agrees:
Watch out CD! There be voters in these here parts that don't take kindly to someone ridiculing their religion.
I guess HuffPo and Fox sites are down?
It just astounds that thee isn't an online option over the internet. Everything from banking to shopping can be done. Oh well what to expect from a 3rd world country.
Surely online voting would be secure and tamperproof!
Exactly. Amazingly naive. The internet is the world's playground for identity theft, and he wants to trust it with his VOTE?!
In NH we vote using a stiff paper ballot. It is well devised by column.
You then vote by filling in an oval beside your choice with a black felt tip pen.
You know, like everybody used to do on standardized tests from about third grade on.
No problems, no misunderstandings. Basic stuff.
And the ballots are put into an automated machine slot for counting and storage backup in a nice neat pile.
I'm sick of reading about all the other problems caused by ( improvements ).
"And the ballots are put into an automated machine slot for counting"
You might as well just vote on an electronic ballot too.
On Target brother GW as usual.
Here is an interesting post that was found over here with more to add to this story.

Here is the crux of it all.
Election Fraud, 42 Ways it’s Institutionalizing Corruption and Tyranny.:

Corruption...ya gotta love it!

All paper voting all the time. The idea of allowing computers in to the voting arena is fucking absurd. The only reason to back machine voting is to be able to manipulate the result to a pre-destined outcome. No reasonable person would ever allow private companies, some with foreign ownership, to control our voting process. We are so far gone that I believe our republic may be irretrievable.
I'm an electrical engineer and I approve of this message. All paper voting all the time. Traceability and verifiability are the keys to accountability. Electronic voting mechanisms have neither of these features. They are designed to enable election fraud.
The paper system can be rigged as well, but at least there's evidence and you can go after individuals. Digital votes are like digital currency -- intangible and unaccountable. Fiat vote by decree is no vote at all. The whole system is destroyed.
You just knew this would be a gong show. So did they, lining up hundreds of lawyers. Psychopaths have had years to fine-tune the performance.
WAKE UP, PEOPLE! HOW FAR ARE YOU GOING TO LET THIS GO?
America: where everything's remote control: the "voting," the "candidates," the "market," the "terrorism."
If the Federal Reserve were running the election, they could print as many votes as necessary ... FOR OUR OWN GOOD. /sarc
The only advantage of the US system is local control of elections prevents widespread systematic fraud by central authorities, AND THAT ADVANTAGE ISCOMPLETELY LOST WHEN DIGITAL VOTING IS IMPLEMETED.
As soon as you go electronic, your vote becomes a packet. Packets by definition are infinitely mutable and routable. They do not recognize political boundaries. They do not recognize "local control." They become the property of the network and whoever happens to want to manipulate it. And there are psychopaths willing to spend BILLIONS for new and more insidious ways to control flow of information.
HowStuffWorks: "What is an internet packet?"
I can't believe there's this much concern about voter fraud when in reality there is absolutely NO differenve between Obama and Romney on any of the important issues which truly effect Americans in meaningful ways.

And you don't think rigged elections have anything to do with this sorry state of affairs?
Correct but SOME OF THE BALLOT INITIATIVES DO MATTER ...
In addition, if none of the third party candidates (libertarian, green, peace and freedom, constituiton, etc.) get 5% then no matching funds in next election, and duopoly remains in total control ..
Sorry George, I'm going to have to disagree a bit here. As far as fiscal and foreign policy goes, that's probably true, but all the crazy talk coming out of the republican party is having a very significant effect on women voters. According to Nate Silver's blog, the gender gap is near historic highs, yet I notice that a large number of men are seemingly incapable of comprehending that reproductive rights are not a fringe issue, they are an economic issue for women. Based on some of the articles I've seen, men seem to be making irrational arguments as to the explanation for the gender gap, and in fact, many commenters on these blogs lambast these men for their apparent ignorance of what should be - on its face - completely obvious.
Look at what Mr. Ziegler says:
"How this campaign (and the makeup of the U.S. Senate) got largely decided based on issues like contraception and rape is inexplicable to me and will likely be a subject of mystery for many historical researchers in the future. The topics were largely fake, but Obama and his friends in the media, knowing full well the only way he could get reelected was by maintaining a huge gender gap, did a great job of manipulating the wedge issues. How Obama managed to get reelected going in the direction of creating blatant social division when he got elected claiming to be a "uniter" is quite extraordinary."
Inexplicable to him? Largely fake? Members of the republican party, running for public office talk about returning women's rights back to the 1850s, and this is a fake topic? Uh, no. Lots of women in this country are unfortunately all too familiar with that so-called "legitimate rape," and want no part of it. I think women are going to decide this election. (If the republicans don't steal it, though they probably will).
BTW, I'm not an Obama supporter. That man has done more to destroy civil liberties than any president ever. But he's not talking about "legitimate rape," and forcing women to carry babies conceived via rape. Don't you guys think there's any difference there? What if it were your mother or sister or your wife! Can you imagine watching your wife carry the baby conceived when a rapist broke in and attacked your wife while you were away on business?
Wow. You guys really don't like to be told your thinking is irrational.
Want to argue my points? Here I am. Or would you rather hide and just give me some reds without being able to argue your points from a critical perspective?
Wouldn't hide either way, but up from me.
Right on. She gets my thumbs up too.
