    Back in January, 2005, I emailed Dr. Steven Freeman about the Mitofsky anaylsis of the 2004 Presidential election exit poll. In that email, I made an observation about a particular detail in the Mitofsky analysis that had not been noticed by any researcher or critic of the report at that time. You may see the original observation I made here.
    The Mitofsky hypothesis proposes that "within precinct error" (WPE) is the reason for the exit poll discrepancy that we’ve all heard about. In his (…)

    March 19, 2005-After the 2004 election I thought I would barf if I heard one more Democratic pundit or politician lament the lost election and blame it on the party’s "message." As grassroots activists across the country reported thousands of election irregularities and voting machine "glitches" that overwhelmingly benefited Bush, the Democratic leadership seemed unusually willing to look the other way. John Kerry quickly conceded, former President Carter attended Bush’s (…)

    FLORIDA’S 2000 nightmare over punch-card ballots caused America to stampede toward purely electronic voting. But this snowballing trend raises two new concerns: vote-stealing could be easier in digitized elections, and several computer balloting firms have shady pasts.
    Most of America’s e-voting is done on machines purchased from three firms: Diebold Election Systems, Sequoia Pacific, and Election Systems & Software (ES&S). Two of the companies are headed by brothers. All are led (…)

    By Stephen Dyer

    After giving George W. Bush far too easy a ride in his first term, the Democratic leadership in Congress promised that the second term was going to be different. "This is not a dictatorship," announced Senate minority leader Harry Reid. The new head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Illinois Representative Rahm Emanuel, declared, "The President neither has the mandate he thinks he has nor a majority to make policy." But three months of watching the Democrats’ stumbling, (…)

    Democracy Fails: Corporations Win
    Democracy in the United States is only a shadow in a corporate media cave of deceit, lies and incomplete information. We stand ignorant of what the powerful are doing in our name and how the corporate media ignores key issues affecting us all.
