despite an overwhelming vote against Republican incumbents on Tuesday, the Republican manipulation of the executable code on the electronic voting cards themselves (which Diebold says does not exist) turns the election into a rout of the Democratic candidates?
It's been happening for 6 years. We obviously need 2 more before really taking back the country. Because almost nothing's been done about our "hacked" democracy.
Sadly, even in the best of scenarious, without this ugly reality to deal with, there's no way we could get enough votes to override a Presidential veto of our legislation.
So what will we do about it?

3. So which intentions is it OK to broadcast on a public forum? |
|
How about starting a masssive letter-writing campaign to our remaining representatives as well as starting massive demonstrations against the government and its Diebold lackeys in the street of every major American city?
How about initiating class action lawsuits in every state against the state officials that allowed touch-screen machines to be used in that state?

2. They fuck with our elections |
|
We fuck with their economy.
It's that simple. The economy in this country doesn't work for the working man even though it is the working man that gives it value. If the righties fuck with our democratic institution I say we give "obstructionism" a brand new name.
Every citizen on this nation that is concerned should block intesections, ralways and ports until the investigations are completed. The only way this thing gets fixed is if the people decide to threaten their status.

Go through the trash bins of all of the polling places and election officials for discarded paper ballots, subpoena all the machines and electronic voting cards for testing.

6. Do we really need to start a new thread like this daily? |
|
Can you just go back and read the past ones?

7. I've read the past ones. They're not like this. |

This one asks everyone a question: what are we going to do about it?
It's an important question that hasn't been effectively answered in 6 years because the damned machines still "count" 80% of the votes nationally.
So what are your ideas?
