“Elections are too important to leave up to the whims of voters”
IMO, a few people of ALL political affiliations believe the above statement. If you don’t believe political parties and special interest groups cheat whenever possible, then…
It must be nice to live on your fantasy island!!!
Seriously though, election fraud is (and always has been) a part of every major election. I’m sure election fraud predates the USA. So is this any different?
Yes!
Because, do to faulty electronic voting machines, these machines set the stage for massive voting fraud. That is unacceptable!
I actually have a very good grasp of technology (specifically networks and networking equipment). I’m also friends with several
true experts and a couple of top notch hackers. We laughed at the lack of security of the electronic voting machines and their roll out. Believe it or not, from an over all security stand point…
The lotto machine at your local convenience store is more secure than these voting machines.
But wait, there’s more…
What is deeply troubling is the lack of major media coverage. The silence (about this and other important issues) is deafening. Why does this matter?
Because an independent press can be thought of as another layer of security. They are supposed to spotlight discrepancies and anomalies. But, for the most part, they don’t.
Major news sources occasionally highlight issues for brief moments. It’s kind’a like the nightly news briefly showing a “feel-good clip” of a cat being rescued from a tree. It’s there for a moment and gone forever.
No follow-up.
No further investigation.
Nothing.
The major press, IMO, is failing the credibility test. They simply report what is spoon-fed to them. Because the official report couldn’t be inaccurate, could it?
Why does this happen? IMO, It’s money.
The news outlets don’t piss off their biggest advertisers. And if said advertiser has strong political ties, it’ll be silly for the news source to ruffle the advertiser's feathers. And the result is…
Major news goes unreported or glossed over. The American public stays largely unaware. Big money companies, their lobbyists, and their special interest groups get to buy, sell, trade and control more and more of America every day. And the news that’s supposed to report these things…
Remains silent.
Was there republican election fraud in the pass 2 elections?
Sure.
Was there democratic election fraud before then?
Absolutely.
Do the new voting machines increase the opportunity for wide spread fraud?
Definitely!
Are major news outlets doing an in-depth probe of the issue?
No!
Does that represent a bigger problem than the election fraud?
Yes!
Again, sorry for the rant. But I feel these issues should be discussed and debated openly. After all…
These are not liberal vs. conservative or republican vs. democrat issues. After all, we should be asking ourselves 3 questions…
What kind of America do we want our children to grow up in?
Do we want our children to be in control of this country or do we want them to leave it up to someone else? And...
What are we doing right now to make it happen?
As always…
Enjoy,
