Canadians Reaching Out To Save Americans From Bush
Now that George W. Bush has been officially elected, single, sexy, American liberals - already a threatened species - will be desperate to escape.
These lonely, afraid (did we mention really hot?) progressives will need a safe haven.
You can help. Open your heart, and your home. Marry an American. Legions of Canadians have already pledged to sacrifice their singlehood to save our southern neighbours from four more years of cowboy conservatism....

Computer Glitch Gives Bush 3,893 Extra Votes
Here we see the evolution of the spin from the stolen election. On Wednesday the news was full of puff pieces about how wonderful the electronic voting machines worked. Then, as more and more hard facts emerged the spin changed to how only sore losers dared suggest there were problems with the electronic voting systems. Now, as even more problems surface, the spin changes again to drudgingly admitting that there were indeed problems, but really, they were minor, and no one error would really ...

A View from the Midwest: If Kerry had followed Chicago rules, he’d have won
There is one mantra among all others that has driven electoral work in Chicago, by both Machine hacks and the occasional independent campaign seeking to unseat the machine: protect the vote. And according to investigative reporter Greg Palast, that’s exactly what Kerry operatives in at least two battleground states -– Ohio and New Mexico -– failed to do....

We do not concede our democratic rights.
While hundreds of thousands of votes in Ohio have yet to be counted and
reports of voter disenfranchisement throughout the country particularly
among minority, immigrant, young, and low-income Americans continue to
pour-in and questions are left to be answered about the massive gap between
early polling data and the final total in Florida a state where half of
the voting populous used touch-screen machines that leave no paper trail,
John Kerry just conceded the presidential ...

NEVER in U.S. political history have massive crowds shown up to endorse an incumbent!
15 million new voters were registered in one of the most massive get out the vote drives ever, through the citizen efforts of grassroots organizing and exemplified the beauty and need to continue towards participatory democracy. A large majority were planning to try to have their votes recorded for Kerry/Edwards. Amazingly with all the widespread disgust and discontent, Bush/Cheney added almost 10 million votes from the 2000 debacle, 49mil to 59mil while the Democrats only increased 2mil from...

Concede Nothing To Bush: Black Consensus Remains Intact
The worst possible outcome of Tuesday’s election would have been that George Bush won with the help of a divided Black electorate. Instead, African Americans reaffirmed the vitality of the Black Political Consensus – our eyes firmly fixed on the prize: peace, jobs and justice. Despite faith-based blandishments to the sell-out branch of the Black clergy, massive deployment of the GOP’s gay wedge issue and, most hurtfully, the Kerry team’s initial determination to render African Americans invis...

Palast - "Kerry won. Here's the facts."
Most voters in Ohio thought they were voting for Kerry. CNN's exit poll showed Kerry beating Bush among Ohio women by 53 percent to 47 percent. Kerry also defeated Bush among Ohio's male voters 51 percent to 49 percent. Unless a third gender voted in Ohio, Kerry took the state.
So what's going on here? Answer: the exit polls are accurate. Pollsters ask, "Who did you vote for?" Unfortunately, they don't ask the crucial, question, "Was your vote counted?" The voters don'...

2004 COLLECTED VOTE FRAUD STORIES
Here we go again. Some of you will be sick of this topic and to those of you who are I ask that you get over the desire to be infotained and deal with the unpleasant reality: that the American voting system is totally bogus. What is contained in this post is of interest to anyone that believes that justice cannot be served without a full disclosure of the level of corruption in almost every corner of our political, governmental, and journalistic behemoth. Voting machines made by right wingers...

Smoke Signals from Portland, Oregon: Karmic Blowback and the Democrats
I don't for a moment believe that Kerry actually lost the popular vote. Of all the votes lost -- with partisan scrub lists, at-the-polls shenanigans over IDs, etc., and Diebold hackings, or just plain thrown out -- a majority would undoubtedly have voted for Kerry and put him over the top. What happened was simple: last time, the Republicans stole it by the seat of their pants, so this time they ratcheted up their efforts and stole it big. They got away with it this time because the Democrats...
