We the people against the hackers.

There are several important considerations you should be aware of with respect to this matter. First, this course of conduct would appear to violate several provisions of federal law, in addition to the constitutional guarantees of equal protection and due process. 42 U.S.C. §1973 provides for criminal penalties against any person who, in any election for federal office, "knowingly and willfully deprives, defrauds, or attempts to defraud the residents of a State of a fair and impartially conducted election process, by . . . the procurement, casting, or tabulation of ballots that are known by the person to be materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent under the laws of the State in which the election is held." 42 U.S.C. § 1974 also requires the retention and preservation, for a period of twenty-two months from the date of a federal election, of all voting records and papers and makes it a felony for any person to "willfully steal, destroy, conceal, mutilate, or alter" any such record. Further, any tampering with ballots and/or election machinery would violate the constitutional rights of all citizens to vote and have their votes properly counted, as guaranteed by the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Second, the course of conduct would also appear to violate several provisions of Ohio law. No less than 4 provisions of the Ohio Revised Code make it a felony to tamper with or destroy election records or machines.1 Clearly, modifying election equipment in order to make sure that the hand count matches the machine count would appear to fall within these proscriptions.

Further more The Main Stream Media also with strong ties to the Republican Party refuses to cover issues like this:

Where the Hackers themselves say it is too easy to manipulate the vote. Not only that, but the media covers up America's Protest Movement:

1. Voting Machine's have Put America in the Twilight Zone
Quote from the Twilight Zone episode "From Agnes, With Love"


Quote:

"Machines are made by man for man's benefit and progress, but when man ceases to control the products of his ingenuity and imagination he not only looses the benefit, but he takes a long and un-predictable step into the Twilight Zone."

Personal thank you:

Thank you George Bush & Co. for putting America's voting rights and United States Constitution in the Twilight Zone.
