American Coup: The Story Of America's Compromised Voting Machinery In A TV Documentary - "In 2002, Seattle grandmother and writer Bev Harris asked officials in her county why they had acquired electronic touch screen systems for their elections…. In the course of her research, which unearthed hundreds of reported incidents of mishandled voting information, Harris stumbled across an "online library" of the Diebold Corporation, discovering a treasure trove of information about the inner-workings of the company's voting system. Harris brought this proprietary "secret" information to computer security expert Dr. Avi Rubin of Johns Hopkins University (Scoop Editor's Note: VIA A SOFTWARE RELEASE ANNOUNCED ON SCOOP.CO.NZ & DEMOCRATICUNDERGROUND.COM - Sludge Report #154 – Bigger Than Watergate!), who determined that the software lacked the necessary security features to prevent tampering.

American Coup: Election Fraud 2006 Risk Assessment Update - Political junkies talk about two elections as they anticipate the November 6 mid term Congressional elections: 1982 and 1994. In 1982, the Democrats picked up 27 House seats as the country said no to the doctrinaire Reagan project. The Senate remained Republican that year. 1994 was a blow out of epic proportions. The Democrats lost 54 seats in the House and eight in the Senate. That election was the “gift that keeps giving.” See...

2. Fantastic piece by a fantastic cat.

You are the cat's meow!

[althecat]

3. Thanks Mom Cat....

... you reckon things will go crazy around here tomorrow like they did two years ago?

I really really really hope not.

** fingers crossed **

This is without a doubt the most important election I have ever watched from upclose or afar. And that includes 2000 and 2004....

[mom cat]

6. This is the one we take by storm! Thanks for all that you are doing

to help make that happen!

[althecat]

7. This time at least we have our eyes open... in fact everyone in politics...

... must have their eyes open by now.

Question is will it make any difference.

My prediction: The house will fall but the republicans will steal the senate in Maryland and Tennessee.

[mom cat]

8. Hope you are wrong about the Senate, but I would not be surprized.

12. Predicting A Fourth Time Around Election Theft

The Republican regime has stolen three major elections in a row, 2000,2002 and 2004,
and gotten away with it easily, so why would this one magically escape their
attentions?

My prediction: Republicans will retain their
majorities in the House and Senate, and
again confound the pre-polls that showed candidates
behind in key individual races, and a
Democratic sweep or near-sweep on the whole, because
the system is now rigged with computerized,
unauditable, secret e-voting, that gave such
apparently fraudulent, statistically impossible
victories to the GOP in the 2002 and 2004 elections.

The last week leading up to Nov 7, 2006 has
witnessed an extraordinary campaign of GOP
phone-calling "dirty tricks" enacted against the
population, in efforts to mislead people into
going to the wrong voting locations for their
district, frighten them into not voting with threats
of arrest and imprisonment once their IDs area checked
at the polling place voter registration verification, anger them
into not voting by harassing them with false flag calls in
which the GOP harasser falsely identifies himself as
a Democrat, and other cruel voter suppression techniques.

If anyone objects to the idea that computer vote
machines are being rigged in advance to
steal the elections for the GOP as "paranoid" or a
mere "conspiracy theory," the above slipping of
the Republican Party mask to reveal their obvious and
proven ruthless, and mass-mobilized vote
stealing operations, of the analog not digital sort,
should immediately silence these objections.

The computer vote machines such as Diebold, ES &
S, Sequoia, optical scan machines, central
tabulating computers (hidden from public view and
used to tally even votes that are initially
recorded on paper ballots) and other electronic voting
machines are now in greater use than ever
before for this upcoming U.S. election, despite their
being shunned as insecure and unauditable by
other nations. Therefore, continued Republican
control of both houses of Congress, through rigged
electronic voting, is a safe "psychic
prediction" bet.

13. So,

how did that election thing turn out? :)
