  • 37 Reasons to Ignore Election Fraud and the Ken Starr Rodeo
    20 December 2004 par (Open-Publishing)
    5 comments

    Voting, Rodeo, and Football Fans: The U.S. voting system is broken, let’s ignore it. I have outlined the 37 arguments AGAINST re-voting and re-counting (Ohio and Florida in particular) below. And in the spirit of the anti-election reform crowd (in a football parallel), "No, the fans, players, or coaches may not challenge the results." Despite the fact that there are 57,000 reported reasons that our election system — as reported to the Government Accounting Agency — is broken, there are (…)

    The new word in town is "intellectual." Those people who were embarrassed to be called "liberal" now have a new word to be scared of, the "I" word, "intellectual." Listen to this response I received regarding my 12/15 article "Our Beautiful Horns" () :
    "Robin, Dubya won the election, get over it. Your Kafka-esque analogy illustrates your own self-loathing and intellectual dishonesty. Dismissal of the majority rule as being ignorant, selfish, and hypocritical only (…)

    America:
    I am about to engage in some tough love here. Please forgive me, but what is wrong with us, America?
    My friend lives in a blue state content as can be. Shortly after Black Tuesday election 2004, he told me to stop sending him my political opinions and chill out. He threatened to add me to his junk senders list. He said that he would pray for me.
    A day later, I began the first of now 12 articles regarding the OBVIOUS vote fraud in Ohio and Florida that occurred six weeks ago. (…)

    RE: "What Can You Believe?" by James Rosen (12/12)
    ( http://www.newsobserver.com/news/q/story/... )
    In some of last Sunday’s newspapers, you may have read a Washington Bureau article called "What Can You Believe?" In the sub-section "A Level Playing Field," James Rosen, the interviewer, summarizes that (Mr. Baneth) "... has no direct proof of election fraud but suspects it occurred, because the machines are so vulnerable to tamperings and malfunctions."

    Open Letter to Mike Jacobsen of Diebold:
    Two weeks ago I asked John Kerry to pull America out of the water. http://www.yubanet.com/artman/publish/article_15689.shtml
    Now I am asking you, Director of Global Communications for Diebold — and the one that I now realize has the real power — to begin to fix America’s reputation that that has been tarnished by Diebold’s poorly designed voting systems, suitable for soiled diapers.
    America is in the commode. Reach in. Our hand is up and we are (…)

    America: Many information technology professionals know in their heart they could design an election system that could be trusted. We all wonder why we have a system this far out of kilter with expectation. What I see is that Americans are just now waking up to the realization that even if the 2004 election was not rigged, it certainly could have been. Three partisan-owned election companies control how your vote is counted. If you think this is ok and we should trust the machines and (…)
