as I thought at the very beginning.
BERNIE HAS NO CHANCE
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE NO CHANCE
THE COUNTRY HAS NO CHANCE
NOTHING POLITICALLY IS POSSIBLE IN THE LONG RUN
UNLESS SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT HOW THE VOTE IS COUNTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fix the vote counting, and in a few short election cycles, everything else will come.
The voting machine vote counts are out of line with the actual vote count and the (unadjusted) exit polls), sometimes ludicrously so. The exit polls show that the final announced results are always about 4% tilted toward the Repubs and the companies are losing any fears about how much they will be able to tilt a given election without fear when they are determined that the election not be allowed to go on because it would mean the Crazies would lose. Again I refer to John Brakey's comment that the precincts in MA that count the vote by hand went for Bernie by 17%. Statistically, this means that the results announced for the results of the primary in MA are definitely wrong. The math for that is in Jon Simon's book CODE RED in one of the last chapters dealing with the Coakley/Brown race in 2010.
And now there are a hundred other ways to limit or alter the vote by suppressing the vote politically and altering the computer rolls and lists secretly by using computers to assure the desired result. It is a full-scale blitzkrieg of stealing elections.
Nevertheless, I am overjoyed to have been able to experience an election where most of the REAL ISSUES are being presented and the popularity of politicians who speak the truth to power can be seen clearly. Just to hear some of the real issues presented is an amazing breath of fresh air.
Of course nobody mentions publicly the voting machines since that is the holy of holies, the sanctum sanctorum, and nobody must ever mention this, even Bernie and his inner circle, though for the life of me I can't see why.
Brakey's comments were made in an interview:
