Beat the ballot bandits. Protect your vote!

Our town has Sequoia machines. I'm voting early via paper ballot in the county elections bureau and walking up my ballot where i sign a book registering my vote. I can't do more than that.

If someone in administration is say, not a democrat, and looks up my party affiliation, I'm registered as a republican and I'm given deference in assumption I voted the party line in a republican district.

The number of voters taken off the polls is startling. The database software that Karl Rove is using is startling. The number of traditionally democratic voters being scrubbed by repub SOS's across the country is startling. The dirty tricks on information voting guides that go out to minority communities is startling.

Watch the vid. It's 7 minutes.

Billionaire Ballot Bandits - they are stealing our vote & buying our government, lock, stock & barrel & the largest segment of voters in the US are the non-voters. Enjoy your Dancing With the Stars, folks.
