9. Not enough people know about these problems.
That's my guess anyway. I've mentioned it to so many people verbally or in emals, and in return I get blank stares, or "I haven't heard about that." I'm glad Lou is giving it some air time.

13. I posted a thread a few weeks ago asking how many people in our families
Edited on Wed Sep-13-06 06:14 PM by blm
our friends and our neighbors have even heard about voting machine fraud, and when did they hear it.

Very few replies to my thread. Even DUers have trouble spreading the word within their own sphere.

And left journalists and left blogs keep election fraud FROM catching on, because the top ones have sold out to centrist groups who have a vested interest in making the party believe that it lost in 2004 and needs to move to the third way.

16. It's not just that DUers have trouble spreading the word,
some here actually downplay its importance. I don't get it. :shrug:

I totally agree with you on this point:

17. Look at the stink we raised for Pt911. Imagine if left journos and blogs
pushed RFKs article onto the public radar the same way - just constant PRESSURE - HIGH PRESSURE.

11. Exactly... hopefully they were repiglicans, but even for them if I have
to defend a repiglican, this would be the only reason! Even they shouldn't have to cast their freak'n votes on scrap paper!

8. They sound a lot like the disturbing old Voting Machine irregularities.
Edited on Wed Sep-13-06 05:44 PM by acmejack
To the uninformed observer not dealing in nuance. Failure in the voting mechanism to a simple voter is often seen as a failure in the voting mechanism and usually results in the same thing-NO Confidence in the Results!

12. Thus no confidence in their government, thus no confidence in
the democracy we are supposed to have a voice in through representation.
