8. And that doesn't even take into account electronic tampering. They have a whole bag of tricks

that include all kinds of voter suppression, machine and tabulation tampering, etc. Pennsylvania still has 100% paperless, unverifiable voting machines.

Many of us were working on the election fraud issue after they stole the 2004 election and found then, and it is still the case, that it is extremely difficult to get Dems to pay any attention to it, in spite of the fact that Greg Palast, THom Hartmann, Brad Friedman of Bradblog, Verified Voting, and many others have been screaming about it for years. Thom Hartmann was talking about electronic tampering in the 2000 election and how we seriously need to do soemthing about voting machine issues.

Many tried, but you just can't get Michael Moore to go there - someone who could really make a difference in bringing this to the forefront, but he will only talk about campaign strategy, getting out the vote, messaging, etc - and same with most other Dems, no matter how much documented info you provide. THey would rather analyze endlessly how the Dems need to change their message, what they did wrong in the campaign, etc. etc.

The members of the Congressional Black Caucus pay more attention to voter suppression than anyone else but still dont seem to get the electronic tampering piece.
