THIS IS NOT WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE. |

No accountability in election results. Believe what you may, there is still NO ACCOUNTABILITY in our election process.
You need to prove to me that Hillary actually won. Nothing adds up.
And as for the supposed CNN exit polls. Check your facts. How can you trust those figures, it goes through the same old UNACCOUNTABLE BS.
Wake up people.

As I posted for someone else about the "paperless" elections:
"It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything."

8. I don't care what happened in NH |
|
In fact, I'm rather pleased with the results. An "unbeatable" front runner is not desirable, IMO.
I'm simply commenting that all of this is for nothing if we don't retake control of vote counts before the GE. Otherwise, whoever wins WON'T be the person we want.

16. You're missing the point |
|
this whole thing x( , the numbers do not change overnight, they change in a period of 2-3 days.
its a shame Hillary has to use it in a primary, I'm convinced now that we are surrounded by enemies.
I wanted to hear Hillarys message, not for them to just give it to him. Which is what is happening.

4. Democracy only works when my guy wins. |
|
If Obama thought the rug was pulled from under him, I doubt he would keep quiet very long.
Because if Obama knew there was manipulation and did nothing, then he is defrauding every person he accepts a campaign contribution from.
You don't think Obama is a criminal do you?

5. I can not answer that question. |

I don't give a fuck who it's about. There is NO ACCOUNTABILITY in our elections.

6. agreed, and why wasn't this addressed after 2004? |
|

13. NH has paper ballots that can be recounted if the loser requests it. |

11. So you want them to let you handcount the ballots? |
|
Even then I am pretty sure you would say the ballots were frauds or some were stolen, or whatever. There is no proof that you would find acceptable because you hate Hillary that much.
We had REASON to fight Ohio, there were reasons that went far beyond our candidate not winning.
The only thing you have is that your candidate didn't win when some polls had put him in the lead....polls of "likely voters". Then "unlikely voters" voted and fucked it all up.
I understand you wanted Obama to win, but he didn't. Fucking get over it.
