The Election Was Rigged In Ohio and Florida
A short article about Bush's vote rigging in Ohio, and Florida.
I really wish Kerry would have won the election,
and we had a President who cared about somebody
besides Bandhar Bush in Saudi Arabia. Bush failed
on the economy, health care, and the environment.
They rigged the election again in Florida, and
Ohio. Jeb Bush made sure the absentee ballots were never sent in democratic
areas in Florida. Then 250,000 voters were taken out of the first count by
a Republican operative named Kenneth Blackwell.
Four more years of the Bush war monger Presidency, and all the corporate welfare for the rich.
The polarization the last few years has been interesting. The NY War protests never would have
happened had Gore won. Bush gives us all someone
to despise--the way Nixon used to be.

Give it a rest. No one's buying it and no one cares. It's over.
because they're pac's
Bush probably did steal the election by arranging it so peopel couldnt vot or left without voting due to longer lines in Democratic counties. There is also a chance the electronic machines were completely rigged and gave an outcome that didnt reflect the actual votes, but we will never know since there is no paper trail.
were churches?
but that would take some work, unlike pitching a fit.
just edit it, hell, they're all bastards anyway...........

There was a report at Berkley that appeared in Wired that as
many as 260,000 votes were rigged in Florida for Bush.
The black box voting went even further in several cases.
According to Kim Zetter: "Reports from voters in Florida and Ohio also indicated that some of them had problems voting for the candidate of their choice. When they tried to vote for John Kerry, they said, the machine either wouldn't register the vote at all or would indicate on the review page that the vote was cast for Bush instead."

The vote rigging in Ohio has not gone unoticed by the Ohio
Green, and Libertarian parties. The Ohio Democratic party
has also demanded a recount.
Kenneth Blackwell who was the cochair of Bush's reelection
campaign has also been leading efforts to cover up his vote
rigging efforts as Secretary of State in Ohio.
The black box voting in Florida has also been noticed by
Steven Freeman a faculty member at the University of
Pennsylvania. The boxes were rigged by hackers brought
in by Bush operatives in several rural counties where they
thought they could get away with it. A team of computer
security consultants needs to be hired in Florida to scrutinize
irregularities in the software code that would indicate which
voting machines were hacked.

An indedpendet investigation of both the optical scanners, and
the other voting machines needs to be done in both Ohio, and
Florida. A Berkley study has found that Bush probably
received about 130,000 more votes than he should have in
Florida. In Ohio there were as many as 92,000 votes that
may have been hacked for Bush by black box plumbers
brought into Ohio by Karl Rove to insure a Bush win on
election day.
According to Fitrakis, Rosenfeld, and Wasserman:
"John Kerry spoke with Rev. Jesse Jackson and urged him to take an more active role in investigating the irregularities and ensuring a fair and impartial recount. Kerry said there were three areas of inquiry that should be addressed: 92,000 ballots that recorded no vote for president; qualifying and counting provisional ballots; and supported an independent analysis of the software and set-up of the optical scan voting machines."
There were also several suspicious visits by operatives of
Triad Governmental systems to voting machines in Ohio, just
prior to the election that have raised questions of voting
machine hacking. The New York Times reported that
deputy director of elections in Ohio Sherole Eaton, found
out about the inside job on the voting machines, and has
requested and investigation.
