20 amazing facts about voting in the USA

Very good post, lots of correct info for those who need too know. It is estimated in 2004 4 to 5 million votes
were hijacked by these means. another 2 million or so were challenged by republican operatives in polling places so a voter had too vote on a different ballot that was never counted. My suggestion is that we mount anti- challenger people to each voting station and place these people under citizens arrest and escort them out of the polling places, Lawyers are not going too stop this again. Take as many of these unamerican Nazi's out of the polling places as possible.

Perhaps H.R. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, Barak Obama
Joe Biden and all their supporters should bring this to the attention of all the mainstream media like the New
York Times, Chicago Tribune etc.. so that this Voter
Fraud can be exposed before the November elections.
The word scandle comes from the same word meaning
Fraud. If the American Voting public knew this kind of
Organized Crime intends to hijack another election like they did in 2000 and 2004,they'd be so pissed they
wouldn't act like sheeple and they'd publicly demand
via Peaceful orderly demonstrations the end to that
kind of blatant corruption. This kind of Monopoly, conflict of interest, lack of lawful Government regulation is an atrocity against Democracy. In fact, current.com should bring this to the attention of all 3 of these folks and Albert Gore too so that he
could understand how he was defrauded of his
Presidency... And so that as a legitimate public figure
with Integrity, he could address this issue to the public
What the hell good are talk shows if noone acts.This is exactly why Rep. Kucinich's articles of impeacement
against warmonger Poser Bush were assembled. A
small number of people conspired to place themselves in strategic positions to Sabotage the USA
system of Free Democratic Elections. Speak up!!!
A lot of decent people were slaughtered in defense of your duty to end this Conspiracy. The USA is vital.
OUR COUNTRY IS NOT SOME BANANA REPUBLIC!!!

Republicans are dirty cheating sociopathic hypocrites. "God" bless them.

Excellent post.

when the credibility of our voting rights go out the window as the evidence seems to show, the people have no voice left. what larger action should occur then, to gain the attention of those leading us by deception and corruption?

So is it safe to say McSame will be our next president?

I knew Bush wasn't elected by the people.

Lying, cheating, SCUM!!

wow, disturbing to say the least

Gore won the popular vote & lost the election-to a fucking moron. How is it that the candidate who receives the most votes loses? The sooner we do away with this electoral college BS, the sooner elections become more transparent & the opportunity for cheating is diminished. Maybe we should actually put someone in charge of the whole election process considering the magnitude of the outcome. 8 years of nausea has been revolting.

sorry to inform you, but a pesonal carrying the label
"felon" does not make them any less moral than you. i was actually interested in your post until i noticed that one of your major arguments on the subject was that a whopping 5 felons helped tabulated the votes, yes :rolleyes , am sure that a felon under any party's regime would conspire to keep anyone as president. its so sick that those without blame (on paper) who point the finger at ones whove got caught for lesser.

very disturbing

This link may work better than the one given earlier, Re : The Monkey, (Baxter) who managed to monkey with the electronic voting system.

http://www.bbvdocs.org/videos/baxterVPR.mov

A sum of $100,000,000 mysteriously appeared in Baxter's offshore bank account a short time after this video surfaced, and he has since fled to a banana republic to enjoy an early retirement (allegedly),

I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT!

Shouldn't the federal government regulate voting. Seriously, it seems like the obviouse way to get things done.

NO MORE ELECTRONIC VOTES!!!

Quit being so lazy america and poke the little dot on the paper ballots, or we should at least get a receipt to turn in for our vote and not just have everything be electronic.

I hope and pray that someone somewhere is
paying attention to these VERY important details

this makes me want to throw up...all over

"the decider"

I can't take another term........

what the hell are you talking about? this entire post was informative. it shows how bush managed to stay in office and ruin our country.
