Is this another way to steal an election?
What if a voter decided not to vote for the presidential portion of the election. Couldn't the computer program record all none votes as a vote for a specific candidate?

Would this be easy to uncover? i.e. More none votes in counties with paper trails, versus computer counted ballots?

1. In the 13th congressional district of florida, in ONE CITY alone, 18000 votes
had no vote for congressman. The republican took the seat by approx 400 votes. So no vote for president is one way they already steal the elections. People do not go to the polls and vote for schoolboard, but not for congress or pres.

2. The same thing happened in NM in 2004
If you believe those machines, 17,000+ people left their comfortable homes to go out to vote for a single judge, but not for President or Congressional Representative.

Once it was all over, nobody believed those machines. We don't have them any more.

3. Good for you. Getting rid of them, that is.
I know something fishy must have been developing over some time and I suspect I know the roots of it. Sometime in the late nineties, I was offered a job and it entailed going through employee survey sheets and filling in blank areas on the questionaire. The offer only lasted as long as the conversation. I never pursued it, but you gotta ask yourself why would a small time business person be contracted by a company to go over their employee's survey sheets to fill in questions that were left blank?

After three years of rubbing elbows with these kind of local shady characters, I finally decided I had enough. It just scares the shit out of me sometimes, to think of what goes on as normal around here.
