If the machines flip this election, we should all do a run on the banks.
Not just as a protest against the fact that it has been studied for 8 years now what an easy flip of an election these damned machines are, but because if republicans are going to win elected offices, the economy is certainly going to fall completely and forever down a fucking hole.

There is NO doubt about the corruptability of these machines. None. Not one single computer expert has ever said that our elections are safe from tampering with these computerized voting machines and central tabulators.

Therefore, if we can't have honest, verifiable elections in this country, we need to let it be known that no amount of money the crooks can throw at wall street and unviable businesses, we don't trust the American governing bodies, and we're pulling our money out of the system.

Can you imagine how spreading this meme across the internet would suddenly insure some WAY PAST DUE attention to our election system? I don't think we'd have to keep beating our heads against the wall about how many states have machines that are flipping votes, and how many people are having to wait in long lines, only to have their votes not counted properly.

I've fucking had it. All they understand is if it threatens to hit 'em in the pocketbook. I say FINE! Mess with our elections, and let's see how you can do without our money in your banks.

1. Oh, I thought you were going to say that it's because alot of the
ATM and banking machines that count our monies are made by the same companies, are verifiable, and give receipts. If the election machines can't be made to work right, why should we trust their other equipment.

3. Oh, good idea.
Then we screw over the economy even further so more people not culpable in election fraud will lose their life savings. Definitely a good plan.
