9. Not enough people know about these problems. |
|
That's my guess anyway. I've mentioned it to so many people verbally or in emals, and in return I get blank stares, or "I haven't heard about that." I'm glad Lou is giving it some air time.

our friends and our neighbors have even heard about voting machine fraud, and when did they hear it.
Very few replies to my thread. Even DUers have trouble spreading the word within their own sphere.
And left journalists and left blogs keep election fraud FROM catching on, because the top ones have sold out to centrist groups who have a vested interest in making the party believe that it lost in 2004 and needs to move to the third way.

16. It's not just that DUers have trouble spreading the word, |
|
some here actually downplay its importance. I don't get it. :shrug:
I totally agree with you on this point:

8. They sound a lot like the disturbing old Voting Machine irregularities. |

To the uninformed observer not dealing in nuance. Failure in the voting mechanism to a simple voter is often seen as a failure in the voting mechanism and usually results in the same thing-NO Confidence in the Results!
