Our revolting vote

I still haven't quite recovered from feeling burnt-out on the vote fraud issue. But there are a few links you should know about. In brief:

Rigged aggregators: This is one of the most promising areas of investigation. From Democratic Underground:

In auditing the tabulators, it is absolutely crucial we expose the rigged aggregator code. Spread the message to every blog you can find....

This happened in every single precinct it seems there is which had record turnout registration, leaving only two explanations that could EVER account for this result

A) In every single PRECINCT, of every state in the USA, specifically the swing states, at every local level race, the exit poll takers polled the WRONG VOTER AREAS across the entire board. The result of this happening whether it be 50, 100, or 200 precincts across the U.S.A and regardless of denomination, is in the odds of less than .000000001 percent, it has the possibility of happening if lightning strikes the same place TWICE in the same exact minute.

B) The exit poll results have been cooked, and voters purged. The probability of this is more than 45%, over 1000 times higher than the previous explanation.

Also see here -- an important new blog on this very subject.

Blackwell wants to depose Kerry and Edwards! Remember how Ohio's flagrantly corrupt elections chieftain Ken Blackwell refused to be deposed by the Conyers committee? Well, now Blackwell says that -- pursuant to the ongoing Ohio recount case -- he will need to depose John Kerry and John Edwards!

"Mr. Blackwell's contention that he needs to depose Senators Kerry and Edwards is a laughable and blatantly political move. Mr. Blackwell has refused to be deposed himself about the Ohio election, has refused to appear before Congress and has refused to answer questions from members of the House Judiciary Committee who have been investigating allegations of election fraud. To suggest that Kerry and Edwards should be deposed to address a legal technicality while Mr. Blackwell continues to avoid any public scrutiny of his own misconduct in the Ohio election is the height of hypocrisy," said Blair Bobier, Media Director for the 2004 Cobb-LaMarche campaign.

Sailing, sailing, the high hypocri-seas...!

How's this for a deal: Can we have a forum in which John Kerry and Ken Blackwell are allowed to depose each other? If not, why not?

The exit polls: Here's the latest overview of the controversies surrounding the exit polls. I haven't had time to read this one yet...

Maryland's miserable machines: Do state elections boards lie to the public? You bet. Maryland's officials tried to convince the good citizens of that state that computerized voting equipment performed admirably in the 2004 vote. In fact, these machines compiled a horrendous record, with an astounding number of misfires and lost votes:

"Election Day was anything but smooth. Votes were lost, computer cards storing votes were unreadable, thousands of error messages were reported, machines froze in mid-voting and machines refused to boot up. The problems with the machines were so widespread and serious that efforts to hide the problems have failed," said Linda Schade, director of TrueVoteMD.org. "It is not sufficient for Diebold and the SBE to investigate themselves. They have misled the public about this problem and an independent investigation is needed. Further, these problems indicate that the Diebold machines should be decertified as required by Maryland law and as provided for in the Diebold contract..."

See also here. A big problem was screen lock-up, occurring just as a vote was cast. Would a vote cast under such a circumstance be counted or not? Even the experts don't know. (It's a hit-or-miss affair -- sort of like trying to get a post onto Blogger in recent days.)

"Malfunctions" in key districts can, of course, grant a win to the wrong candidate.

FOX News guarding the henhouse: A "non-partisan" voting rights group just sprang up out of nowhere. Needless to say, they are well-funded and boast among their leaders one Jim Dyke, "the RNC Communications Director during the 2004 election and...currently a 'Republican Strategist' for FOX News." (Those last five words seem odder and odder the more I re-read them.)

From what I can tell, they are trying to switch the subject away from the all-too-hackable compu-vote machines inflicted on us by Howard Ahmanson and his fellow theocrats. Instead, they hope to convince the country that the real problem is fraudulent registration. This has been the RNC spin for months now.
