Election transparency and US Elections [View All]

[nadinbrzezinski]

Ok, some folks are screaming sour grapes (I guess then George Bush won fair and square both in 2000 and 2004 and the USSC had nothing to do with it, and the people from Cuyahooga County who went to jail shouldn't be in Jail)

Others are going WAAAAMBULANCE

And then they are accusing people concerned about electoral transparency of not liking the results since their guy didn't win

So let me make this clear... my guy in this one is electoral transparency, the beating heart of democracy, my vote, your vote, and making sure they are counted the way they are cast. Oh to use the old phrase of the 2000 election... INTENT of the voter...

Folks every time you see these wild swings in polls versus the actual election, REGARDLESS of who is winning and who is loosing, YOUR antenna should be in the ON position. Especially when proprietary machines, that are being DECERTIFIED nationwide, are involved... and the firmware is quite ready to be hackd.

Now there is also plenty of evidence that these machines are utterly hackable. So to dismiss this possibility just because your candidate won... is not only stupid, but short sighted. This is not about ONE primary... or ONE candidate. This is about the process and how to keep that process clean and accountable.

Oh and those screaming sour grapes or waaambulance... children behave better. What if... they used NH to test systems that will be deployed in the GE? What if they steal the election ONCE again? Remember, NH has not decertified these machines yet... They should... but they have not... will you be screaming fraud? Better to make sure it is not happening this early in the process than have it stolen once again because you cannot accept the possibility that they are at it once again since your favored candidate won...

Oh and who benefits? Many forces in this country benefit... suffice it to say, NOT YOU.
