Politicians For Election Fraud: VOTB
Researching election fraud was like falling into the middle of an ocean and looking for the shore. As fascinating as this subject matter is, it saddens the heart to think that the land of the free and the brave has corrupt politicians enabling election fraud.
This cursory view of election fraud is just another reason to Vote Out The Bums – every incumbent, every election. Only then will the vote of every American citizen REALLY count.
“Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.” - Josef Stalin
Today’s politicians and political parties are following Josef’s led. The old saying, “where there’s smoke there’s fire” applies here. What do so many “smokin” election fraud reports have in common? How about they’re ignored by the media, they’ve become so blatant that they’re become the subject of jokes and of course, politicians generally rationalize election fraud with weak chatter.
Sample three personal election fraud stories.
“Even direct vote buying reared its ugly head the year when LBJ allies at the government-contract dependent Brown and Root construction firm spread a bundle of money across South Texas. To hear my grandfather tell it, Hispanics in selected South Texas precincts were paid $5 each for their votes.”
“One favorite example took place during John F. Kennedy’s pivotal victory in the 1960 presidential primary in West Virginia. No less an authority than former House Speaker Tip O’ Neill, D-Mass., recalls that one of Daddy Joe Kennedy’s bagmen went through West Virginia with pockets stuffed with cash. He would visit sheriffs doling out thousands of dollars with the promise of more money should the county end up in Kennedy’s column.”
“Then, of course, there are the mafia-union payoffs that led to the unprecedented ballot box stuffing in Mayor Daley’s Chicago giving JFK his razor thin, winning margin over Nixon in 1960’s general election (Think Obama knows this?). The scandal is so infamous that there is now a standard joke on the rubber chicken circuit for candidates that goes, “I want to be buried in Chicago so that I can stay politically active after I die.” “
The above and more election fraud stories can be found at this website. This should be mandatory reading for every high schooler.

Computers have given nerds control of elections. Politicians have figured out how to control the nerds, thereby control election results. People with political ideas build electronic voting machines and their software. With so many avenues open to political nerds, hacking election machines is as easy as eating a bowl of cereal. If you don’t believe, check out with the experts say below.
“There is a remarkable degree of consensus among computer scientists,3 security professionals,4 government agencies,5 and independent analysts6 that U.S. electronic vote tallying technology is vulnerable to unintentional programming errors7 and to deliberate manipulation—certainly by foul play-minded insiders at voting equipment vendors, but also by other individuals with access to voting equipment hardware or software.8

VOTB - the politicians - that are blocking any significant legislation to keep election fraud to a minimum. Note the articles below.
April 18, 2008 in Computerworld - “A bill that would have helped states pay to switch to paper-election balloting systems for random audits after elections died out of a House committee this week, but its prime sponsor said he is not giving up the fight. U.S. Rep. Rush Holt (D-N.J.) said the bill he sponsored, House Bill 5036, the Emergency Assistance for Secure Elections Act, would help make the nation’s elections more accurate and secure by helping states move to paper ballots over touch-screen electronic machines.”

Former Ohio Congressman Bob Ney, HAVA’s (Help America Vote Act) principle author, now resides in a federal prison, in part for illegalities surrounding his dealings with voting machine companies.

The purpose of HR550 was to assess the accuracy and efficacy of the proposed election audit mechanism. The “Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act of 2005,” was
sponsored by Representative Rush Holt of New Jersey. The audit requirement described in Section 5 of HR 550 calls for a mandatory hand count of 100% of the ballots in at least 2% of the precincts in each state, for each general election for federal office and, optionally, for state contests. This bill never saw the light of day.

Just google the words - election fraud. You’ll get close to 1.5 million hits. That’s a lot of smoke.
We’re beginning to implement some general election laws. Half the states have various forms of voter identification. Voter identification aspires to prevent or deter selected election fraud practices (like voting and voting often). Why isn’t there a national election voter identification law? Do you think South Texas, West Virginia or Chicago will ever be free of election fraud? No, No and No because politicians are enabling election fraud!
What we citizens are facing now is “in your face election cheating”. All the voting benefits we have received from our forefathers are being compermised through election fraud. All the benefits and opportunities we still have in the U.S. are gradually being lost. They are being lost because of the politicians that are getting fraudently elected. And the cycle of corruption continues to roll alone.
We citizens must NOT remain silent. Choosing to remain silent by not voting or voting along party lines is condoning the manipulation of our election process.
Vote Out The (enabling) Bums – VOTB now!!
