How to get the media to start reporting on election/vote fraud issues? |
|
watch November 8th - when the democratic party candidates win big and take control of both houses of congress. Suddenly the gasbag GOPers/talking heads will force the issue into the media and media coverage.
I think there will be a lot of funny stuff in the election and vote counting. I also think that margins will be too big in too many places for subtle/hidden manipulation - combined with tons of preelection coverage of the status of the races (polls, etc.) - to prevent the elections from being whole-sale manipulated.
Suddenly a very public voice will be given to concerns about voting security - as a cover for GOP whining.
I hope that all organizations and individuals who have been working very, very hard on the issue of secure elections - will be ready to sieze the moment, in terms of capitalizing on the window presenting by GOP whining (but talking about election security) - in order to push for REAL reforms that could eventually lead to secure elections in the future.

1. They're already starting |

Here in Milwaukee they found a few people who they thought had voted twice and held a big news conference in front of the home of one. It turned out he was a seminary student in Chicago and had voted there. Also they accused a Dem state senate candidate of voting in two different suburbs. It became evident that it was him and his father with the same name. Sadly, one of our Dem challengers to a very conservative Dem state senator apparently actually did vote twice, and he dropped out of the primary. But that sort of thing really is rare and not worth all the photo ID business (except of course that that would hurt the Dems, which is the true reason).
