No, They Wouldn't Dare Steal Another Election...Or Would They?
STEAL BACK YOUR VOTE!

*Will the 2008 election be stolen? You’ve GOT to see this video! (Might as well have a laugh about it anyway, eh?)

But seriously…they did it in 2000, 2004, and may have a plan for this November, too. So be informed and ready to fight back! Be sure to check out Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s article, “Was the 2004 election Stolen?” and learn how he’s trying to prevent it from happening again in 2008 with NoVoterLeftBehind.net.

Bobby is also working with investigative journalist Greg Palast on a separate voting integrity project called Steal Back Your Vote. RFK Jr. appears in the video with Palast at the link above.

7. Not the candidates as much as secret counting, crummy equipment, and now motivated fundies.
We don't have laws in place to audit, and the vulnerability continues.

8. Easy to do when there are no votes...
to be counted. Even easier to do when people don't give a shit if their vote is counted until after the election. Easy to do when you are relying..not on your state government, to make sure your vote is accurately tabulated...oh no..don't do that! Instead demand that the losing candidate count your vote, even if your vote is not their to count. But, by all means, don't you do a God Damn Thing in your own state, where you live, to insist that your state government provide you with a secure election system.

2. They will if it's close enough. Our job is to keep it from being close enough.
I have no slightest doubt that, barring the strike of political lightning, Obama can win.

The only question in my mind is, can he win big enough to keep them from stealing it? I don't know what the percentage gap would have to be to convince them that they can't get away with swiping just enough votes in just enough districts in just enough states, but I'm guessing it will have to be larger than 4-5% in those districts.

I think we can do it. But we have to keep our eyes on the prize.

soberly,
Bright

3. They Don't Have To With A Corrupt, Complicit Media and Voter Suppression
If people don't vote, the Republicans win. If people are not told about the issues, the Republicans win.

4. Exactly. RFK Jr. often says that
Americans are the best entertained and the least informed people on the planet, that we know more about Britney Spears than we do oh, say, election theft. Or global warming. Or you name it.

6. Be wary of deceptive polls used to convince the masses that they could win.
