> URGENT ACTION TO FORCE RECOUNT IN 34 STATES, GAO INVESTIGATES

6 November 2004, 16:27

I’m reserving judgement until all the results are in and all evidence reviewed, but in the mean time, I think we Democrats should start a voting machine manufacturing company, and start pursuing election and appointment of devoted Democrats in elections offices in every state, and organize crews to challenge Republican voters in every precinct in every state. If the Repbulicans want viotes that can be hacked, let’s go in open warfare mode and make sure we can disenfranchise as many Republican votes as they can Democratic votes. We have four years. Go to it. Either that or we get rid of all challengers and all voting machines that do not produce a paper ballot receipt for use in re-counts immediately. If one party can F _ _ k true democracy in the A _ S with a barbed wire implement, then ALL parties should do it as agressively as possible. You don’t want bitching about the legitemacy of election results, then hold secure, free, verifiable, intimidation-free elections where every US citizen gets to vote, period. When you use methods that are shady and make it easy to cheat, expect accusations and investigations and mis-trust. This is precisely the fault of the parties responsible for setting up this farce of an election, be they Democrat or Republican. Every piece of stinking brown organics that was involved in allowing this to happen this way should be incarcerated on Alcatraz with nothing but spam and canned vegetables, no salt, no pepper, for life without parole. If we had enacted and held truly fair elections that were secure and Bush had won, no one would be saying anything about the validity of his election. You still would hear a four year long groan emanating from half the country and most of the world for the next four years, but no one would be questioning the legitemacy of either his election or a Republican majority. With what actually was done, EVERYONE should have been bitching out their politicians long before this election ever happened. What you and your party are being accused of is your own damn fault, and you are not getting out of it until we have proof you didn’t cheat and all methods of potential cheating are removed from the electoral process. You should be working to do so yourself - it could be YOU next election.


We need to: 1. Make it illegal NOT to vote, $1,000.00 fine unless you are hospitaslized. 2. Make it impossible to cheat. 3. Make it a life sentence to intimidate, mis-direct, lie to, or otherwise attempt to block any citizen’s right to vote. Included in the life sentence is the permanent loss of the offender’s right to vote. 4. Make the entire election week time off work unless you are a hospital, utility, fire, or election worker. 5. Require the media to give equal air time to each candidate for office at each level for free for the two months preceeding the election in return for the right to do business in this country. 6. Eliminate all requirements for a candidate running for office to be on the ballots other than age, citizenship, and not be a felon currently serving their sentence. (When you’ve served your time you can then run in the next election.)


The above should be made the next ammendment to the US constitution word-for-word. If these principles were followed we would have a true representative democracy and no one would be questioning the legitemacy of any electee. Anything less is treasonous hijacking of democracy.
