I saw the most hilarious/scary/ realistic video about diebold releasing the results of the election early on www.larryflynt.com. I just I should share with you because no blog has no more to protect our votes counting.

Fuck Florida, thank you Brad and all the EI people. Did we go over why they are having the delegate problem here yet? On the flip side of the paper ballot legislation, some Puke put an amendment to move the primary up to January forcing the Dems to vote yes on the bill. Another set up

And taxpayers paid how much for these wads of scrap? What a scam, on so many levels.

So these 3,000 or so machines are not part of the HAVA expenditures. Right? They were purchased before HAVA?

Well, I'll be go to heck... the dreaded code gizzy is gone! What a relief for our dear commenters! Nobody warned me... and that means it's probably a temporary glitch.... You might be amused to note that these freaks don't seem to mind that their crap is blocked. They just keep blithely at it... burying me, and the server, in heaps of their smelly dung.

Or maybe we're going to get a new and improved gizzy that is even more machine unfriendly, while less aggravating for us...? Don't mind me. I'm punchy.

Did anyone read this? WTF? Bill Clinton on Rush Limbaugh Show Day of TX Primary Rush was saying the day before that he felt a "flu" coming on, and then Tuesday he was "sick" and had the substitute host, and then Wednesday he was back to crow about his achievement in getting Hillary elected.

LINDA (#6)-- These iVotronic DRE machines were the ones purchased by KATHERINE HARRIS (at least for Sarasota County) in 2002/ tested by CIBER, INC. Their history of failures, mechanical break-downs, repairs (especially to the mylar touch screens) have been carefully documented by citizen observers over the years...reads like a damn phone book. While I'm overjoyed to see them FINALLY headin' to the junk-yard (no small victory; it IS the DREAM that has propelled us forward)--there is some concern among us that in doing so, BROWNING has now disposed of the final evidence of the stolen CD-13 election. ...perhaps the error rate/ failures/ bugs, whatever happened inside those bastard machines would be IMPOSSIBLE to find, now--still, I know several very clever and talented computer programmers who are DYING to get their hands on one of these (now crunched) voting machines,

convinced they have several ways to reproduce or find the problem. I can feel their angst; all they ever wanted to do was see a truly independent, thorough testing of these machines...and despite ALL of the tests done here:

1. FSU TEST--they didn't test the PEB's/ testing was not even given the APPEARANCE of non-partisan, independence. 2. STATE PARALLEL TEST/ AUDIT--run by insiders Kathy Dent and David Drury/ only 10 machines tested, 5 of which were used on election day, unsound testing procedures/ STRANGE TEST SCRIPTS THAT HAD ALL VOTES CAST BY TESTERS ENTERING THE VOTE SEQUENCING THROUGH JENNINGS!! (Yes, they did...!)/ PRESS and OBSERVERS HASSLED 3. GAO TEST--Again, machines chosen by DENT AND DRURY/ loaded up PERSONALLY by DRURY/ tested at DENT and DRURY's warehouse/ no investigation of STATE TESTING PROCEDURE examined. Incomplete, but analysis "exonerates" iVotronics right before they are destroyed. ...as a result, Vern Buchanan was officially certified just last week. I was, and still am, a NEW YORKER. As I read Brad's report, kept thinking about how damn fast that 2 million tons of steel disappeared.

We were so proud of our boys, our efforts...

only to see the EVIDENCE of the largest crime scene be shipped off to make "collector's edition WTC coins" and new war ships. That being said, DRE's are OVER. Thanks to everyone, here. MUCH reason to celebrate.

Now we can fight the complete absence of PRECINT BY PRECINCT RESULTS...and even MORE ominous--VOTE BY MAIL as the solution to the PRIMARY MESS. (And FLORIDIOT--yes...I'm blaming FL STATE DEM CHAIR KAREN THURMAN, personally. Would LOVE to see her name come up more often as the pundits are going limp-fingered with all their nasty, uninformed pointing of their poking finger.)

Hey 99, what's up? Yesterday every other site was working but for 3 hours, but this one gave me an error page, and then today two posts of mine never showed up? Hmmm. That old spam piece still is hilarious though, thanks. Is it the new button?

Q: They aren't destroying machines which could provide real evidence of an election fraud conspiracy, are they? We wouldn't want the criminals to get away!

Let's not get too excited. Optical scanners are also vulnerable to fraud. The paper trail is crucial but so is a hand count. This battle is not over. Onward
