There are hundreds if not thousands of varieties of election fraud with tens of millions of individual incidents.

DELIBERATE DISINFORMATION

In Jacksonville, Florida in 2000, as part of Jeb Bush's campaign to facilitate his brother's theft of the election, the Times Union in a special edition of their newspaper for black neighborhoods instructed citizens to vote every page of the ballot, thus disqualifying thousands of votes.

INTERFERENCE WITH VOTING

A Clear Channel Democratic talk show host (that in itself a rarity) was one of countless thousands who reported 2000 Florida voting sites being blocked by sawhorses and intimidating police working for Jeb Bush.

After New Hampshire 2002 Senate race, four Republican operatives went to jail for deliberately jamming Democratic handicapped voters' phone lines for rides to the polls. They coordinated with Republican James Tobin working out of the White House.

VOTING MACHINE FRAUD

There have been hundreds of thousands of instances of vote theft in the US. In Warren Ohio in 2004, Republicans locked out Democratic and independent voters as they changed Diebold voting machine numbers. Bev Harris of Black Box Voting gave elected president Al Gore a 3 minute demonstration of the ease of electronic machine hacking.

In North Carolina on Nov 4, 2014, in the most expensive Senate race in history with over 100 million dollars spent, Democrats found their votes being flipped by a voting machine to a vote for the Republican.

Voting problems in several states

Diebold has since sold its voting machine division, while the world is moving back to less hackable paper ballots.

POLL OPENINGS DELAYED

In Hartford, Connecticut on Nov 4, 2014, polling places had no voting lists. The Democratic Party sued to keep the polls open later and won a judicial ruling.

In Ohio, in 2004, there were numerous instances of people in poorer neighborhoods standing out in the rain waiting for polls to open.

VOTING STATIONS REMOVED

In Ohio in 2004, Kenyon college students and others waited 9 or more hours standing in line to vote.

THROWING AWAY REGISTRATIONS

In at least 8 states, Nathan Sproul, Republcian operative, ran 'voter registration' campaigns and threw away all Democratic registrations.

REMOVAL OF PEOPLE FROM VOTING ROLLS

Another tactic used by Jeb Bush and his cohort K Harris among others was to remove tens of thousands of Democrats from Florida voting rolls under the guise that these were all felons.

In New Hampshire four Republican operatives went to jail for deliberately jamming Democratic handicapped voters' phone lines for rides to the polls. They coordinated with Republican James Tobin working out of the White House. However the thieves were rewarded as Jeanne Shaheen was temporarily kept out of the Senate.

FREQUENT PRECINCT CHANGES

Ohio Republicans changed many precinct voting places in Democratic neighborhoods.

In Georgia, the website informing voters of their voting location was not working.

FAR AWAY PRECINCTS

Voters in Ohio have found their precinct numbers reduced and the distance away further.

REMOVAL OF GREEN, LIBERTARIAN, TEA PARTY, SOCIALIST PARTY CANDIDATES ETC FROM DEBATES

DRACONIAN VOTER ID REQUIREMENTS

In Texas, Republicans have required the poor to go sometimes 100 miles away to retrieve documents estabishing their franchise rights. These unconstitutional requirements, which amount to a poll tax, were upheld by the Republican majority on the US Supreme Court.

TRUNCATED VOTING DAYS

Republicans are a minority party. It is to their advantage to reduce absentee balloting, to make voter registration difficult, and to reduce the hours and days of early voting.

MILITARY PRIVATES AND SERGEANTS NOT RECEIVING BALLOTS

REPUBLICAN SUPREME COURT RULES THAT MONEY IS SPEECH

The Republican dominated Supreme Court's decision that money is speech and past decisions that corporations are persons cleared the way for billionaire purchase of the US elections. The Koch Brothers who together are worth over 100 billion in stolen wealth have funded many 2014 candidates.

OUTRIGHT LIES AND MISLEADING ATTACKS

John Kasich and the Ohio Republican Party circulated the story that Ohio Democratic governor candidate Ed Fitzgerald had been without an Ohio driver's license for 10 years, failing to mention that Fitzgerald had been transferred to Illinois and obtained an Illinois license.

CENSORSHIP AND BURYING NEWS OF CANDIDACIES

National networks including NPR, Clear Channel totally hid the governor's race in Georgia between Jason Carter, grandson of President Carter, and Deal. One factor was the pro Palestinian rights work of President Carter which is opposed by antiPalestinian media owners.

THEFT OF PHYSICAL BALLOT BOXES

PARTISAN OWNERSHIP OF VOTING MACHINES

Is the US the only country which allows one political party's operatives to own the voting machines? Tagg Romney, Mitt Romney's son, bought a voting machine company in Ohio.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/23/pro-romney-firm-voting-machines_n_2006697.html

OWNERSHIP OF MEDIA BY PLUTOCRACY

Mitt Romney's Bain Capital bought the Clear Channel network before the election, a channel with virtually all Republican and/or conservative hosts.

Corporate ownership of US media has been a pricegouging, warmongering, censoring network which includes Fox, Time Warner, Comcast, CSpan (see their board), NBC, ABC, CBS, etc. ABC tried to hide its role in bringing Rush Limbaugh to the network, through the deceptive title Excellence In Broadcasting network.

UNETHICAL STINGS

Maurice Greenberg, head for a long time of the pricegouging AIG insurance conglomerate, his cronies including Joseph Lieberman and others arranged a sting about Governor Eliot Spitzer's private life. Why? Because Spitzer had aggressively gone after Wall St. fraudsters. Lieberman's connections at the IRS were used as well.

BUILT IN OLIGARCHY

The US Senate is inherently undemocratic, giving Wyoming with 1/2 million residents 72 times the voting power per person of California with 36 million residents.

The US Supreme Court allows 1 person to erase the franchise of tens of millions of Americans. The Court is made up of unelected justices who at present serve for life. The US Senate began to be elected by the people instead of legislatures in the first part of the 20th Century. It Is time to elect our Supreme Court (the entire world at present is 'guilty' of contempt for this court) and to limit the terms to 9 or 18 years.

MURDER?

The mysterious plane crash of Doug Butzier, Libertarian candidate for the Iowa senate who was taking at least 4% of the Republican votes away, was one factor in the 'victory' of Koch Brothers backed, pig castrating Joni Ernst.

The mysterious plane crashes of incumbent Governor Mel Carnahan in Missouri, incumbent senator Paul Wellstone of Minnesota, Jerry Little of Missouri, etc.

https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/ohioleft/conversations/messages/42984

The assassinations of John F Kennedy, Robert F Kennedy, and untold thousands of others have benefited the party of the rich.
