USA - Election Fraud - Intimidation - " Malfunction " (II)

Early Voting Sees Reports of Voter Intimidation, Machine Malfunctions

Early voting has begun, and problems are already emerging at the polls. In West Virginia, voters using touchscreen machines have claimed their votes were switched from Democrat to Republican. In North Carolina, a group of McCain supporters heckled a group of mostly black supporters of Barack Obama. In Ohio, Republicans are being accused of trying to scare newly registered voters by filing lawsuits that question their eligibility. We speak to NYU professor Mark Crispin Miller, author of Loser Take All: Election Fraud and the Subversion of Democracy.

Mark Crispin Miller
Professor of media culture and communication at New York University. He is the author of several books, most recently Loser Take All: Election Fraud and the Subversion of Democracy, 2000-2008. His previous book is called Fooled Again: How the Right Stole the 2004 Election and Why Theyll Steal the Next One Too.


We now see a burst of vote flipping by machines, electronic voting machines in a couple of states. This is something that we saw in at least eleven states in the 2004 election, hundreds and hundreds of people coming forward to say, I pushed the button for Kerry, and the button for Bush lit up. So, clearly, this was a systematic programming decision by the people in charge of the machines, which in that case and this one is the Republican Party. Were also seeing systematic shortages of working voting machines in Democratic precincts only. This is also something that did not happen only in Ohio in 2004, but happened nationwide. That election was, in fact, stolen.
Well, we know because theres been an audit of the vote in eighteen counties of Ohio by a researcher named Richard Hayes Phillips, who had his team literally scrutinize every single ballot that was warehoused in eighteen Ohio counties. They took over 30,000 digital photographs. This is not speculation, Amy. This is a meticulous, careful, specific and conclusive demonstration that John Kerry actually won some 200,000 votes in those eighteen counties only that were taken away from him. Bushs official victory margin, you may recall, was about 118,000. So there is no question about it. Ohio was stolen.
Even more chilling is the fact that after Phillips did his research, the boards of elections in fifty-five Ohio counties destroyed all or some of their ballots in defiance of a court order. So we have criminal behavior here of a kind of grand and systematic kind. But the point is—not to engage in what Sarah Palin calls finger-pointing backwards, the point here is to note that were dealing with a consistent pattern of subversive behavior by the Republican Party since 2000 and extending all the way up to the present. What were seeing now is an especially brazen and diverse range of dirty tricks and tactics that are being used both to suppress the vote and also to enable election fraud.


... the whole ACORN thing is a first-class propaganda drive. ACORN has done nothing wrong. ACORN has, however, been guilty of trying to register low-income citizens to vote.
The important point here is that voter fraud is practically nonexistent. Several studies have taken a close look at this and found that there really is no voter fraud of this kind.
Voter fraud—I want to repeat this—is virtually nonexistent. There have been several academic studies of this notion of whether individuals actually stuffed ballot boxes or show up at polling places pretending to be somebody else. Theres actually not a single known case of any such type of voter fraud being prosecuted by the Department of Justice.

Greg Palast was just ONE of the many who documented in 2000 and 2004 TENS OF THOUSANDS of votes were stolen by machines.

Hopsicker noted that Sequoia owners were convicted of felony fraud, barred from voting in FL, yet PICKED to count FL ballots.

One of Diebold programmers in GA was hired before his parole, on computer fraud, embezzlemt, and concealment. Great job qualifications for writing election software.

I SINCERELY believed Repubs would CARE about HONOR. Silly me.

I love how anyone who's white and doesn't vote for Obama is now a racist. The tv media, minus Fox, is totally in the tank for Obama and every poll connected to the alphabet networks have had Obama ahead sometimes in double digits. They are setting up the ignorant voter to be offended if McCain wins the election no matter the actual vote count. This is beyond dangerous. Who can forget Al Hunt calling the election in Florida with an hour before polls closed? Bush won despite the attempted fix.

@mikemorrison281 I love how everyone who hates Obama , bitches about the race card when it hasn't been played.

[holocaustexpert]

I advise viewers watch the Spoonamore clips as well. This issue is dealing with treason.

There is the motive. It has been suggested much of this fraud was done to overturn the ROE V Wade vote. Well, regardless of that , the bigger issue is we were given a guy who was not elected into office and well more than 1,000,000 people are now dead and our economy is in trouble. Lots of folks share the blame. Stealing and lying is never OK, Catholic or not.

Idiot: Fraud charges are not convictions.

A crime must be committed. Some kid writing "Mickey Mouse" does not make a crime.

GUESS WHO FLAGGED THOSE ERRONEOUS REGISTRATIONS?

Yep, ACORN did. ACORN warned the govt.

ACORN was REQUIRED by law to turn in ALL registrations. They complied. They flagged all suspected errors. Typical scandal - 4 bad out of 28,000? WTF?

"Hope you're next."

Obviously, you're a bitter and hurt person and you cannot care about facts. I'll pray for you.

[blackcatsoda]

ludicrous thathis guys speaks of Nobama like he is worthy to be president. Sorry SUCKERS!

Nobama is a fraud. Democrats cheat like all the otehrs. Only they got CAUGHT!

12 Democrats indicted in PA for VOTER FRAUD and tampering with an election

[Teekles]

bush was so bad, i thank him for making so many ppl vote democratically to get a black man elected

[Teekles]

WRONG!

[DaringDennise]

Dirtbag: Criminals are Criminals. No matter if they are paid or not. We have seen 18 states with Fraud charges. If your head ever saw the sun, you would know that.

Some Arrests have already been made. Hope you're next.

[dilbertgeg]

IF "ACORN already PROVEN to have broken the law" why still investigations?

More to point, Fed prosecutors like Iglesias refused to do witchhunts to harass Democrats, Gonzales fired them. Rove & Gonzales pushed prosecutions of prominent Democrat judges and lawyers in AL & MS (Gov Don Siegelman).

That's like Gestapo or KGB, using the system to hold "show trials" to purge political enemies.

That's how sick the USA is.

ACORN is mostly VOLUNTEERS, like Boy Scouts or Salvation Army.

This is the lady that was arrested or dragged out of the Republican National Convention yelling from the crowed during the speach causing a disturbance. Yeah! This is real news MY ASS! Fair and Balance like FOX it is NOT! Fox has commentators from BOTH sides, they seem to pull for the republicans because nobody else is! The rest of the press is Sooo far LEFT someone has to report the news against the dems, the other so called press media outlets do not! This video is fabricated garbage
