Did Bush REALLY Win?

Posted by Mark | Filed under Politics

Well, I gotta put this here too. I am try­ing to keep my polit­i­cal stuff mostly in the polit­i­cal groups, but you guys should prob­a­bly know that there’s a strong pos­si­bil­ity that the elec­tions were hacked, and that as a result we have Bush. I don’t see this as a con­ser­v­a­tive or lib­eral issue. I see this as an integrity issue that ALL Amer­i­cans should be con­cerned about. Our first clue should have been that the exit polls indi­cated almost the oppo­site of what happened.

For more of the above post­ing go give this a read.

If a post of a Live­Jour­nal user isn’t good enough for you, try these sites on for size:

• MSNBC — George, John, and Warren

• TheHill.com — Those faulty exit polls were sabotage

For exta fun, we have a report com­ing out of Cincin­nati of how the elec­tion offi­cials locked out the media “cit­ing con­cerns about poten­tial ter­ror­ism.“

County offi­cials say they took the action Tues­day night for home­land secu­rity, although state elec­tions offi­cials said they didn’t know of any other Ohio county that closed off its elec­tions board. Media orga­ni­za­tions protested, say­ing it vio­lated the law and the public’s rights. The War­ren results, delayed for hours because of long lines that extended vot­ing past the sched­uled close of polls, were part of the last tal­lies that helped clinch Pres­i­dent Bush’s re-election.

Call me a crack­pot if you will, but I’m sid­ing with the media on this one. There was no trans­parency in that count and the public’s right to know was vio­lated by the War­ren county elec­tion offi­cials. Now let’s take a look at a cou­ple of other snip­pets from the arti­cle:

A rep­re­sen­ta­tive of The Asso­ci­ated Press, which had stringers at every Ohio board of elec­tions site, said no such election-night access prob­lems were reported out­side of War­ren County.
…
County Pros­e­cu­tor Rachel Hutzel said com­mis­sion­ers “were within their rights” to restrict build­ing access.
Hav­ing reporters and pho­tog­ra­phers around could have inter­fered with the count, she said.

Does it strike any­body else as odd that no other county in Ohio made any sort of notice about sim­i­lar con­cerns? Or that not one other county had a prob­lem with let­ting the media observe the count? Accord­ing to Ms. Hutzel’s biog­ra­phy, posted on War­ren County’s offi­cial web­site, she has been both the Pres­i­dent and Trea­surer of the Repub­li­can Women’s Club. Ms. Hutzel, if you don’t mind; please explain exactly how the media could have interfered?

Still not con­vinced that this elec­tion stinks? Go to Black Box Vot­ing and see what they have to say about the secu­rity and tam­per­abil­ity of America’s elec­tronic vot­ing machines.
