Is it possible that the continued meme of Democratic enthusiasm gap |
|
is cover so that the elections can be stolen in pivotal areas? Let's not forget that black box voting is all over the country and even when it's not, there are optical scanners and exit polls have gone the way of the carrier pigeon. Could we be being set up for a massive election fraud?
The reason I wonder is that there isn't a gap anymore. In fact, the Democrats are at least as energized as they were in 2008, thanks to the antics of the batshit crazy teabagger Republicans. So, given that the MSM is lying to us, the question becomes why are they lying to us? Are they just horribly misinformed or are they horribly misinforming? Pravda "journalism" anyone?

1. Um...............That would be a resounding YES. "Harry Reid will steal it." "My vote switched |
|
over to 'Democrat'." "Whitman is catching up."
All a big propaganda effort by Rove that began in 2000 with his thefts, the buying-off of the Supreme Court, and the subsequent elimination of Exit Polling as "inaccurate," when, in fact, the polling was very accurate.
Add to that the insane and criminally corrupt ceding of our democratic vote to Republican-owned Diebold, and Helen Keller could see the writing on the fraudulent wall.

2. Yes, if the polling is within 5% (Dems ahead 52-47) expect a different result |
|
once the electronic vote is tallied.

3. Sadly, in much of America there's no way to tell |
|
and no way to challenge astonishing statistical anomalies.

6. Some of them have already been stolen. |
|
See: Alvin Greene.
Greene's primary opponent, Vic Rawls, stood a chance of beating Jim DeMented. Our "liberal" media sold Greene's victory as "Democratic incompetence" after a half-ass "investigation" claimed his win was legitimate--even though the absentee ballots said otherwise. Yes, we have paperless electronic voting machines here.
I also think the "enthusiasm gap" is no longer existent is because enough Democrats still remember what it was like when the repugs controlled Congress, and they don't want to go back to that.

8. My point is: What if Diebold does? How are we going to counter or even know? |

Elections are one of those times.

10. Yeah, and I hate to be Debby Downer on the morning after |
|
Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert exposed the MSM for the lying facilitating bobbleheaded useless sycophants that they are, but damn, we still haven't got paper validated voting. We lose more and more of the structure that could protect us from election fraud with each passing year.

12. Well, you don't have paper vailidated voting. We do. |
|
The thing that needs to be learned is that elections are run by the States. I get a paper ballot delivered to my home. I deliver it to the elections office. Between those events, I can scan a copy. And this is better. Perfect? No such thing. But some States have better methods than others. This is up to the residents of each State to alter or accept.
