BEDTIME FOR DEMOCRACY
Thinking about voting in the up-coming presidential election? Why not just throw a penny into a fountain and wish for your candidate to win? It doesn’t really matter who you vote for because as Stalin said, “Those who vote determine nothing, those who count the votes determine everything.” I can’t wait to see what cute name they give to voter fraud in the ’08 presidential election. In 2000 we had Hanging Chads, in ’04 it was the Buckeye Ballot.
Three companies have the electronic voting scene on lock: Diebold, ES&S, and Sequoia. In the 2000 election, electronic voting machines in Volusia County, California registered negative 16,022 votes for Gore. In August 2003, Diebold CEO Walden O’Dell wrote a fundraising letter promising to deliver the votes of Ohio to George Bush—keep in mind that no republican has ever won the White House without winning Ohio.
But they’ve had four years since the last presidential election. They probably have all the kinks worked out of the voting system by now, right? You’d think so, but in this year’s February 5th presidential primary at least five New Jersey counties using Sequoia voting machines reported discrepancies in voter tallies, according to a New York Times’ Op/Ed piece.
I understand that some people still think it matters who controls the White House, and that there are people who like to think that their vote counts. And those people may want to start asking questions about the accuracy and security of our voting technology now instead of after the election. So, feel free to confront your politicians about voter fraud—just be prepared—there’s a chance you’ll get tazed, bro.
