How to Stop and Prevent GOP Election Theft Forever

Even prominent Republicans now concede that George W. Bush presided over the destruction of America, the subversion of the Constitution, defiance of the rule of law. Bush did this by way of two stolen elections. This article reveals how they did it and proposes a 'fool proof' method by which elections can be made theft proof!

Princeton University has demonstrated how easily the GOP may 'hack' voting machines in key precincts, how simple it is to upload malicious code that turns votes for Democrats into votes for the GOP! It not enough to simply make this conduct punishable as 'high treason'. It can be prevented --thus sparing a guilty gopper hard time in a GOP 'corporate' prison guarded by Blackwater.
A team from Princeton University set out to prove once and for all the Diebold voting machines could be hacked easily. Not only did they prove this to be a fact, they created a Diebold specific virus that spreads from voting machine to voting machine.

You can find out more information about the work they did and download a full PDF report on the security vulnerability at this link http://itpolicy.princeton.edu/voting/ This video just reinforces exactly how vulnerable these machines are, and once you take into consideration the fact that these machines are effectively controlling the American Election, it looks even more scary! As always, for the latest news from the world of technology, gadgets, electronics and hacking visit: HACK

With eight days to go before the presidential election, a report has been released by Princeton University and other groups that sharply criticizes the e-voting machines used in New Jersey and elsewhere as unreliable and potentially prone to hacking.

The 158-page report, which was ordered by a New Jersey judge as part of an ongoing four-year legal fight over the machines, says the e-voting machines can be "easily hacked" in about seven minutes by anyone with basic computer knowledge. Such hacking activity could enable fraudulent firmware to steal votes from one candidate and give them to another, the report said.

The controversy involves the Sequoia AVC Advantage 9.00H direct-recording electronic (DRE) touch-screen voting machines made by Oakland, Calif.-based Sequoia Voting Systems.

The report comes amid news stories in at least three states -- West Virginia, Texas and Tennessee -- where voters have told local election officials that they believe the e-voting machines they used tried to "flip" their votes to other candidates.

The AVC machines can be hacked by installing fraudulent software contained in a replacement chip that can be installed on the main circuit board, according to the report. Such a part replacement is very difficult to detect, it noted.

Andrew Appel, a Princeton University computer science professor who is one of the authors of the report, said that such security vulnerabilities cause doubts about the accuracy and reliability of the machines.

--Princeton Report Rips N.J. E-voting Machines as Easily Hackable

A permanent fix must be written into US Federal law. Such a law would not merely establish penalties for the guilty GOPPERS who have indulged this practice to the utter destruction of Democracy itself. Federal law should prescribe a 'hack' proof system with checks and balances. In other words, we must run 'hack proof' elections.

Here's how it works:
  • When a citizen records a vote, the machine spits out TWO identical paper receipts indicating how the citizen voted.

  • The citizen looks over the receipt while STILL in the booth; if everything is OK, he presses the final SUBMIT key/button on the voting machine itself! If everything is NOT ok, he protests the result and threatens to call the 'election cops' if nothing is done.

  • The voter now has TWO IDENTICAL RECEIPTS! He/she leaves one behind in a big 'lock box' designed to receive all paper ballots, i.e, one of the two identical receipts.

  • The VOTER retains the second receipt against the eventuality that the election is challenged.

  • If the election is contested, a hand count is conducted of all deposited 'receipts' left behind in the big lock box.
It is unlikely, that the voter would be required to supply the final receipt. Any discrepancy between the paper ballots and the machine means one thing and one thing only: the machine was 'hacked'.

It is conceivable that the 'receipt' be machine readable. In that case, a hand count of all receipts would be mandatory if the results of the machine do not match the count of deposited receipts left in a 'lock box'.

A final point: a new federal law should prescribe the above remedy as a standard in all federal elections. US Codes should create the crime of 'election fraud' to be defined in numerous clauses and specifically mandating the above procedure. The 'hacking' of any machine utilized in a national election should be addressed in the law which would make such 'hacking' a federal offense with severe mandatory hard jail time!

In the meantime, John McCain is predicting he will win the election by winning Pennsylvania! This tells me that McCain is planning to steal the election just as Bush stole Ohio.

Did Tom Brokaw accidentally spill the beans about the vote-rigging in 2004 in Ohio?

On Meet the Press, Brokaw interviewed McCain, and shared this rather suspicious memory:
Brokaw: "Four years ago, I interviewed President Bush at a time when it looked like he may be in trouble against John Kerry — the final weekend of the campaign. I showed him a map. He said, 'Oh, I just don't do that. Karl Rove does that.' As soon as the interview was over, he said, 'I'll win here,' and pointed to southeastern Ohio. Where will you win, if you win?
Why was Bush so convinced he was going to win Ohio?

Even though he was down in all the polls, and was way down in all the exit polling on Election Day?

And, more to the point, why is McCain still pouring so many resources and so much time into Pennsylvania?

--Daily Kos
With any luck, McCain will be sorely disappointed. It may no longer be possible to win the White House by winning --or stealing --a couple of the so-called 'battleground' states --Ohio, Pennsylvania or Florida. Because Obama has many more ways than Kerry to get to 270, the outright theft of the election also becomes increasingly problematic for the GOP.

We can only hope that Obama will have his 'detectives' out in force. Support efforts to round up and imprison GOP vote cheats, frauds and other criminals! Take back America!

Look into the German vote counting process. From what I have read in the past it is pencil and paper. Non-critical civil servants take the week off from their regular duties and count the votes. The results are announced a week after the election.

This same night winner mania in the US is completely unnecessary. Especially when reputable exit polls are incredibly accurate and historically are only wrong if election fraud is involved.

Our counting and exit polls are controlled by private interests and cannot be trusted. Any system will be flawed unless this is remedied first.

I voted already using an absentee ballot. It's paper, I made a copy of it for my records, and though it can be ignored it can't be changed. They would have to shred it or burn it. I won't vote on those Diebold machines that Indiana has anymore!

The hell with electronic voting machines and scanners, we need to go back to paper ballots that are hand counted in front of witnesses of "We the People".

However the votes are cast, what is needed is a system of checks and balances as is found in 'double entry' accounting. What I have proposed is a 'triple entry' system. If anything is amiss, it will show up and the 'breakdown' can be isolated and identified. Machine readable paper ballots that do not agree with DIEBOLD machine results will prove --conclusively --that DIEBOLD is not a reputable company and is, rather, a CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION that has been hired by the GOP and given marching orders: deliver enough votes to ensure GOP victories.

Len;
Yes! has four things suggested to do before election day and 5 things to do on election day. The list goes on for things to do after election day. This article can be found at;
https://www.overseasvotefoundation.org/overseas/eod.htm?submission=true&stateId=5&regionId=579&x=55&y=10
The article is not infallible. The chairman for the election committee for my county listed by them is retired. I asked a neighbor for the name of the chairman, (she is a poll worker).
I use this as an example to illustrate how the guidelines listed by Yes! can be followed with a little effort on our part.

Len's article points out 2 important imperatives toward an honest US election system: A paper trail and severe criminal prosecution for all types of vote tampering. As far as I know the state I'm in, Nevada, is the only state that has an e-vote machine paper trail. NV State Slot machine experts consulted on voting technology. As I remember there were very few problems in 2004 as a result of the Nevada e-vote system with a paper trail and nothing was contested.

The RICOH act should of already been used to disband the entire Republican Party as an illegal political organization from its systemic corruption, fraud, embezzlement, and illegal use of public funds, that's just as systemic as the rampant republican sex crime convictions and repeated, wide spread fraudulent vote tampering tactics.

Political corruption poses one of the gravest threats to a nation’s economic growth, democracy, and political stability in countries across the globe at all stages of political and economic development. Corruption scandals have toppled governments in both major industrial countries and developing countries.

The cost to taxpayers is incalculable. Corruption steals money from social programs and services. (Bribes, kickbacks and inflated pricing add 5 percent to 30 percent to the cost of public projects, according to various estimates.) It erodes public confidence in government and undermines the legitimacy of political parties and their leaders.

Many nations across the globe have been forced to disband their corrupt political parties for illegal activities of a similar or lesser nature than the egregious crimes committed by America’s Republican Party. Legislation in many nations has been passed that is far more stringent than in America in limiting opportunist political parties and their politicians from engaging in corrupt and illegal activities.

Americans cannot continue to shrug off the rampant corruption evidenced in both parties, but particularly in the republican party as if it is politics as normal that the Italians grew to expect and accept from their politicians for decades.

It’s gone far beyond slush funds, bribery, extortion and the pedophilia well known in the republican party to fraudulent elections that has brought the death of democracy and the demise of our republic. If we don’t fertilize that proverbial [Boston] Tree of liberty Thomas Jefferson spoke of, we will have no liberty left to regain the freedoms already lost....

I suggest everyone follow up on your links. Thanks for posting them.

When we have made it impossible for the GOP to STEAL elections, the GOP will be put out of business.

I SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE LEGITIMATE DISSENT AND DEBATE --but I support THE IMPRISONMENT of GOP vote theives, election riggers, liars, and other felons!

ELECTION THEFT IS NOT PROTECTED FREE SPEECH!

IT OUGHT TO BE MADE A FEDERAL CRIME COMPARABLE TO TREASON!
