Your vote doesn't count, so....

[Scuba]

ES&S quietly purchased Diebold last fall, giving them 80% of market for electronic voting machings. And it's not just the un-auditable vote-counting; they now also own polling place check-in software (electronic pollbooks), voter registration software and vote-by-mail authentication software.

This link has very scary information, all with appropriate citations, regarding what could easily be a mass-manipulation of our elections.



When you buy a pack of gum, you get a receipt. Why is there no receipt/audit trail on our votes? I can only think of one reason.

1. That would make a fantastic anti-electronic-voting commercial.

Show someone checking out, buying a pack of gum, then cut to a spokesperson holding a pack of gum in one hand and a receipt in the other. Say, "When you buy a pack of gum, you get a receipt. (cut to scene of electronic voting machine) So why not when you vote? (cut to graphic about election fraud in Kentucky) Election fraud is much easier to perpetrate when there's no paper trail. Shouldn't our representatives value the integrity of our votes as much as we do? (cut back to spokesperson) Call (insert name of Congressperson) and tell (him/her) that your vote is worth more (tosses gum away) than a pack of gum."

2. I wonder why some people are un-recing this??

[Lyric]

3. No clue. I recommended it and it stayed at zero.

Maybe we have some Diebold employees here at DU?

4. It's all in how you hold the mouse.

I Recommended and it changed to +1

6. There are trolls here

whose job is to silence facts and opinions that run counter to the zietgiest.The PTB has spent decades building the facade that appears to be the consensus reality and they will spare no expense keeping it maintained.

7. Silly Rabbit!

Votes are for REAL Democracies...like in Venezuela....
NOT for what we have in the USA.

Elections are way too important to be left up to The People.

About 20 years ago, The Two Political Parties reached a "bi-partisan consensus" to share the power.
They will rotate figureheads through the White House every 8 years to maintain the illusion of choice, but NOTHING that really matters will ever change....MONEY will continue to flow to the TOP.

Over 92% of ALL Americans (Democrats & Republicans) support TRANSPARENT, VERIFIABLE elections!

You would think this would be a Red Hot, Front Burner, Emergency Issue for the Democratic Party after two obvious stolen elections....
But NO!
NOT a PEEP from the leadership.
Any rational person will conclude that the leadership of BOTH Political Parties LIKE thing the way they are:
Opaque, Non-verifiable elections!

Most 3rd World Countries have more secure, verifiable elections than the US.
Why is this?
.

.
Because the people In Charge want it this way!
