5. what if your vote doesn't even count?
Here is a sobering thought. What if your vote doesn’t even count?

John Kerrey allegedly privately confided to his closest colleagues that he believed Bush stole the 2004 Presidential election. He confided that the differences in certain voting districts between exit polls and “official” results in which electronic voting machines were employed were well beyond random chance and what could statistically be possible, and thus, appeared to involve fraud.

Russian dictator Jospeh Stalin once stated, “Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.” While it is generally accepted by people worldwide that this has happened numerous times in the electoral process of countries dominated by corrupt politicians and dictators, what if this has also happened in the U.S.? I’m not saying that it has, or even that I think it has, but what if?

If it seems ludicrous that this may have already happened in the United States, consider this fact. Clinton Eugene Curtis, a computer programmer, testified under oath before the U.S. House Judiciary Members in Ohio in 2004 after the U.S. Presidential elections that he had developed a software program capable of rigging election results for Congressman Tom Feeney (who was a former running mate of George Bushs’s brother Jeb and the Speaker of the House of Florida at that time). He further testified under oath, that the only way anyone could know that election results had been rigged was to view the source code. To this date, the source code of electronic voting machines used in voting districts with voting result anomalies during the 2004 Presidential elections has not yet been released (to my knowledge). Watch the video here.

Clinton Eugene Curtis testified, still under oath, that it was his belief, given the anomalies of the voting poll election results in Ohio, that fraud had been perpetrated during the 2004 U.S. Presidential elections. Furthermore, the General Accounting Office stated that it was impossible to verify the integrity of the 2004 U.S. Presidential election results.

So has the erosion of democracy already progressed to such a point, that like Joseph Stalin stated, voting doesn’t even matter because those that count the votes decide who wins? And do those that win determine the foreign policy direction of a country no matter the desires of the people? If there is any uncertainty at all regarding the answer to this question, the following steps are necessary to ensure the integrity of democratic processes:

(1) abolish all electronic voting machines; and
(2) have all voting ballots audited by an independent company with no political party affiliations.

I certainly hope that everyone's vote counts tomorrow and sure you gotta vote regardless!

-J.S.

6. At this stage of the game, what is the point of your post?
It serves only one purpose, to demoralize

The only thing we have at our disposible NOW IS TO GET OUT AND VOTE IN LARGE NUMBERS
