Stolen Election 2004
In Election 2000, the Bush regime stole the election and got away with it. Now, in Election 2004, there is new evidence that Bush and the Republicans have stolen the 2004 election by electronic voting fraud in states with E-Voting without paper trails, scrubbing the voter rolls of Democratic voters, and destruction of paper ballots in heavily Democratic areas.
Post any evidence of election fraud at our new Stolen Election 2004 Blog.

Major Bugs Found in Diebold Vote Systems
Diebold was one of three companies -- including Election Systems & Software and Sequoia -- that provided updated technology for the 2004 election...Computer Science Professor Avi Rubin of John Hopkins University analyzed Diebold's 47,609 lines of code and found it uses an encryption key that was hacked in 1997 and no longer is used in secure programs.

Electronic Voting Irregularities Could Still Swing Election to
Kerry
By Chaelan MacTavish
We still do not know for certain who will be president for the next four years. There are two reasons for this. First, the Electoral College does not formally convene to choose the president until Dec. 13. Second, the results of voting in the states of Florida and Ohio are shadowed in doubt.
Both of these states used electronic voting technology and both went to President Bush by very narrow margins. Paradoxically, the exit polls in both states favored Kerry. [Click here for the full article.]

Worse Than 2000: Tuesday's Electoral Disaster
By William Rivers Pitt
Everyone remembers Florida's 2000 election debacle, and all of
the new terms it introduced to our political lexicon: Hanging
chads, dimpled chads, pregnant chads, overvotes, undervotes,
Sore Losermans, Jews for Buchanan and so forth. It took several
weeks, battalions of lawyers and a questionable decision from
the U.S. Supreme Court to show the nation and the world how messy
democracy can be. By any standard, what happened in Florida during
the 2000 Presidential election was a disaster.
What happened during the Presidential election of 2004, in Florida,
in Ohio, and in a number of other states as well, was worse.

Votes Aren't the Only Thing Missing in Ohio
Media Black Out on Vote Fraud Allegations
By David Swanson
The "mainstream" media has fallen down on the job by failing to cover efforts since November 2 to ensure that all votes in the presidential election are accurately counted. The conclusion by John Kerry that an investigation could not possibly reverse the election may quite possibly have been premature. But the question that both activists and the media should be asking is not whether there was enough fraud and errors to decide the election, nor even whether there was more than is usual, but whether there was any fraud or errors, where the problems occurred, how they can be prevented in the future, and -- in particular -- whether new kinds of fraud were permitted by new technologies and by the privatization of our election process.

The Smoking Gun:
Florida’s Election Was An Utter Sham, and Putsch Stole the
State Again
By Bryan Zepp Jamieson
Imagine that you lived in a county that had 30,000 registered
voters, of whom 10,000 were registered as Democrats, 10,000 as
Republicans, and 10,000 as independents. Suppose you further
knew that polls had shown that 91% of Republicans planned to
vote for the Republican, and 88% of Democrats planned to vote
for the Democrat. Among the independents, 60% planned to vote
for the Democrat...If you looked in your paper the next day and
saw that the Republican won, you might be surprised... If you
learned that the Republican got 22,000 votes and the Democrat
just 8,000, you might be very suspicious.
This is what happened in Florida. It didn’t happen in just
one county. It happened in a large number of counties...

Like Clinging Chads, Kerry Faithful Hang on,
But Officials Don't Expect Big Changes in Tally
By Scott Hiaasen
John Kerry won Ohio - you realize that, don't you?
The exit polls were right. Kerry just conceded too quickly; his
victory can be found in all those uncounted ballots...Even so,
some of Kerry's most ardent supporters stubbornly refuse to give
in. [Click

In One Precinct, Bush’s Tally Was Supersized
By A Computer Glitch
By Jim Woods
A computer error involving one voting-machine cartridge gave
President Bush 3,893 extra votes in a Gahanna precinct.
Franklin County’s unofficial results gave Bush 4,258 votes
to Democratic challenger John Kerry’s 260 votes in Precinct
1B, which votes at New Life Church on Stygler Road. Records show
only 638 voters cast ballots in that precinct.
Matthew Damschroder, director of the Franklin County Board of
Elections, said Bush received 365 votes there.

Hard Evidence of Electronic Voting Machine Fraud in
the 2004 Election
Black Box Voting has taken the position that fraud took place
in the 2004 election through electronic voting machines. We base
this on hard evidence, documents obtained in public records requests,
inside information, and other data indicative of manipulation
of electronic voting systems. What we do not know is the specific
scope of the fraud. We are working now to compile the proof,
based not on soft evidence -- red flags, exit polls -- but core
documents obtained by Black Box Voting in the most massive Freedom
of Information action in history.
We need: Lawyers to enforce public records laws. Some counties
have already notified us that they plan to stonewall by delaying
delivery of the records. We need citizen volunteers for a number
of specific actions. We need computer security professionals
willing to GO PUBLIC with formal opinions on the evidence we
provide, whether or not it involves DMCA complications. We need
funds to pay for copies of the evidence. [Click here

Kerry Won
By Greg Palast
Bush won Ohio by 136,483 votes. Typically in the United States,
about 3 percent of votes cast are voided—known as “spoilage”
in election jargon—because the ballots cast are inconclusive.
Palast’s investigation suggests that if Ohio’s discarded
ballots were counted, Kerry would have won the state. Today,
the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports there are a total of 247,672
votes not counted in Ohio, if you add the 92,672 discarded votes
plus the 155,000 provisional ballots.
Greg Palast, contributing editor to Harper's magazine, investigated
the manipulation of the vote for BBC Television's Newsnight.
The documentary, "Bush Family Fortunes," based on his
New York Times bestseller, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy,
has been released this month on DVD .
Kerry won. Here's the facts.
I know you don't want to hear it. You can't face one more hung
chad. But I don't have a choice. As a journalist examining that
messy sausage called American democracy, it's my job to tell
you who got the most votes in the deciding states. Tuesday, in
Ohio and New Mexico, it was John Kerry. [Click

Election 2004: "Sour Grapes" or Voter Fraud
A BUZZFLASH READER CONTRIBUTION, Nov. 3, 2004
by Mike Whitney
If you believe that George Bush won last nights election "fair
and square" then forget about reading this article. If you
know however that tens of thousands of people who lined up for
up to four hours at a time in Ohio and Florida to have their
vote counted, were not standing there to endorse the aggression
and suicidal policies of the current administration then read
on.
The unprecedented high turnout coupled with new registrations
(that were overwhelmingly in favor of John Kerry) suggest that
there was foul play at the voting booths. As a result, consumer
investigator and activist Bev Harris (founder of Black Box Voting)
"is conducting the largest Freedom of Information action
in history. On election night, Black Box Voting blanketed the
US with the first in a series of public records requests, to
obtain internal computer logs and other documents from 3,000
individual counties and townships."

Surprising Pattern in FL counties by
voting machine type
by Kathy Dopp, Nov. 3, 2004
Detailed County by County analysis in Florida by voting machine
type of expected votes based on voter registration of Democrats
and Republicans as compared to actual recorded votes shows that
Republicans picked up an extraordinary increase in votes only
in those Counties which have optical scanner voting equipment. The
disparities are so great that one comes up with the inescapable
conclusion that Bush won Florida as a result of election rigging
in Counties using the optical scanner voting equipment.
Florida numbers vs 2000 - something
is wrong
by Buck Mulligan
Wed Nov 3rd, 2004 at 02:22:13 PST
We have 1.39 million new voters in Florida, and Kerry loses by 376,923 votes? Most exit polls in Florida showed Kerry leading, yet he loses by a massive 5%? After looking at these numbers, I can come to only one conclusion. The Diebold machines were rigged.
Fixed - The Stealing Of Another Election
Kerry winning Exit Polls - FRAUD LOOKS PROBABLE, Nov. 3, 2004
SoCalDem has done a statistical analysis...on several swing states, and EVERY STATE that has Electronic Voting but no paper trails has an unexplained advantage for Bush of around +5% when comparing exit polls to actual results. In EVERY STATE that has paper audit trails on their E-Voting, the exit poll results match the actual results reported within the margin of error. Analysis of the polling data vs actual data and voting systems supports the hypothesis that E-Voting may be to blame in the discrepancies. Kerry is well ahead in exit polls, but still losing the counts?

America Blog: Possible evidence
of voter fraud in Ohio
by John in DC - 11/3/2004 02:56:47 AM
I just received a photo a Cincinnati poll manager took this evening,
and it seems to be proof of some fishy actions with ballots in
Ohio. Bottom line: Note the already-voted-with ballots in the
back of the truck with the Bush-Cheney sticker in the back window.
Does this prove fraud? Well, it certainly doesn't look good in
a state that's already had lots of problems this election.

An Election Spoiled Rotten, TomPaine.com
Monday, November 1, 2004
by Greg Palast
It's not even Election Day yet, and the Kerry-Edwards campaign
is already down by a almost a million votes. That's because,
in important states like Ohio, Florida and New Mexico, voter
names have been systematically removed from the rolls and absentee
ballots have been overlooked—overwhelmingly in minority
areas, like Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, where Hispanic
voters have a 500 percent greater chance of their vote being
"spoiled." Investigative journalist Greg Palast reports
on the trashing of the election.
Greg Palast, contributing editor to Harper's magazine, investigated
the manipulation of the vote for BBC Television's Newsnight.
The documentary, "Bush Family Fortunes," based on his
New York Times bestseller, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, has
been released this month on DVD .
John Kerry is down by several thousand votes in New Mexico, though
not one ballot has yet been counted. He's also losing big time
in Colorado and Ohio; and he's way down in Florida, though the
votes won't be totaled until Tuesday night.
Through a combination of sophisticated vote rustling—ethnic
cleansing of voter rolls, absentee ballots gone AWOL, machines
that "spoil" votes—John Kerry begins with a nationwide
deficit that could easily exceed one million votes.

Voting Machine Controversy
by Julie Carr Smyth
Common Dreams
COLUMBUS - The head of a company vying to sell voting machines
in Ohio told Republicans in a recent fund-raising letter that
he is "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes
to the president next year."
The Aug. 14 letter from Walden O'Dell, chief executive of Diebold
Inc. - who has become active in the re-election effort of President
Bush - prompted Democrats this week to question the propriety
of allowing O'Dell's company to calculate votes in the 2004 presidential
election.
