Rachel Maddow Show: Steal Back Your Vote Oct. 21, 2008

[nancycronk]

Colorado's Mike Coffman is running for Congress as a Republican, and counting his own ballots! He also has purged voters like crazy. He is as unethical as Katherine Harris. If you have lots of extra money, please contribute to his opponent Hank Eng. Wish I could!

[lemmiwinks2917]

So if Democrats lose its because of cheating but if they win its fair?

yep, newemblem, when the exit poll #'s for the democratic candidate and the actual machine results flipped for the republican candidate

[Aldotigre]

most of the democratic votes come from low income families that dont have access to internet to check on web sites their information, so there you go, another weapon for the Republicans.

Why cant people open their eyes.

PLEASE!!!!! OPEN YOUR EYES AND MIND!!!!

PLEASE!!!!!!

Election fraud is alive & well! The Republicans did it twice in a row. Your vote is meaningless if it's not counted. Go to the Oct. 22,2008 show of Democracy Now to discover why & how your vote will NOT be counted!!!

I'm from Colorado!

I was purged from the system/registration for errors I had no idea existed. They never contacted me to ask if I was voting or what have you despite my voting last election. I thought I was registered. Advices lead me to double check and find out I was no longer registered. I did so quickly and tried to tell everyone to check theirs or risk arriving at polling place and being turned away unable to vote. The whole situation is confusing and frustrating.

love ya Rachel!

You're probably black or Hispanic and deserve to have your vote taken. You probably hate America and everything it stands far. You also probably want to help the terrorists. (I'm just joking.) The fact the US Justice Dept. isn't doing anything to persecute these vote-thefts only goes to show how much the US thinks of "real" democracy.

[jedimasterbooboo]

You're probably a hairy legged rabid man hater who needs to get laid. Oh, wait, no THOSE epithets to a woman who's not even discussing gender issues, but suggest that a someone went to jail for really breaking the law, that kind of thinking is just spot on. You are a pig.

[DameDiabolique]

There are a few things that don't jive with me on Bobby Kennedy's story. For example "Black Districts get the worst voting Machines." I live in the Ghetto and we got brand new voting machines. Maybe we are just lucky or the white districts got even BETTER voter machines.

Other than that, this is a good video.

Why is it that all the Voter Fraud favors the Republicans?

[timaloha]

Because the republicans are the ones doing commiting the fraud!

[JustplainKathy]

...and McCain whips up his rallies crying that dems are going to steal the vote.

[underweightHater]

where is the law?

shouldnt you go straight to the clink for this stuff? if you purge a voter who shouldnt be purged, arent you then guilty of voter fraud?

i want to see people go to jail for vote suppression. let some of these fat, comfortable political operatives put their asses at risk and see how much they want to suppress votes then.

[noracism11]

i hope they don't cheat again!!! funny how bush wanted to "spread democracy" but in actuality he became president by cheating! what kind of democracy is that?

[CitizenWorm]

spread this video

[mnkycmkydu]

Bobby Kennedy has a soothing, warm tone. Dare I say angelic?

[n4859]

He really ought to run for something soon...

[shpilk]

Voter confirm-able paper trails are mandatory. Without the ability for a voter to confirm with a piece of paper how he or she voted, the whole process is a crime waiting to happen.

Computers should not be used, at all.

[EJTJ04]

I totally agree with you. A paper trail should be mandatory. I've been telling this to anyone who will listen, for 8 years.

[mymatemartin]

I agree totally. If third world countries and all other 1st world democratic nations use a paper based, traceable system and can have an election result within days, why does the USA need to use a computer-based system?? I can just see the Republicans saying "trust us we know what's good for you."

Today's USA should be an EXAMPLE of democracy, the RIGHT to free speech and the RIGHT to vote. Instead it reveals itself as a club that actively seeks to exclude those with whom it disagrees.

[ourvotesmatter]

The only way this will stop is if people are aware that it is happening so they can do something about it.

This video is only the tip of the iceberg. If you want the whole story, go to OurVotesMatter[dotcom], watch the movie, and by all means... take action!

Land of the free my arse!! I too am sickened by the prospect of blatant, intentional fraudulant behaviour directed at stealing an election from those eagerly desiring to act on their personal right to vote. My God! Is this the USA or some backwater soviet state with a criminal regime. What a disgrace.

The entire world is watching and would mostly vote OBAMA if they could. How in God's name has the USA come to this. As a nation you no longer deserve the respect of the greater world.

"The entire world is watching and would mostly vote OBAMA if they could. How in God's name has the USA come to this. As a nation you no longer deserve the respect of the greater world."

definitely agree, if i could, i would vote for Obama. the guy's proven he has what it takes to be (to quote colin powell) "an exceptional president."

[mutube108]

This news makes me sick! What the f*ck! How many US elections will be stolen before these neo-conservatives are stopped!?

[stillcool]

obstacle course is right. And this does not even take into account the other shenanigans going on with vote switching, phantom votes, and the various other computer 'glitches' that occur in swing states.

[blowtorchwilke]

NO ONE who considers themselves a "real American" should be in favor of preventing Americans for being able to vote! If you claim to love your country and democracy then call your Party and insist they stop this very un-American activity!
