USA Election PARTIALLY stolen ! . . . .10% shave, to keep senate delay-tactic ?

xamount of memory | 03.12.2008 15:23 | Climate Chaos | Globalisation | History | World

Premature celebrations amongst a worthy campaign to hinder the theft of the 2008 USA elections (e.g - see "freepress.org" s Columbus Free Press) might quite possibly have missed the fact that exit polls were also got at, the more "subtle" vote skims were turned up to their highest, where possible - but miscalculation, with ther limits to skullduggery caused as the last elections frauds unravelled, meant that aims wqere pushed back to trying to slow possible legislation.
Hence yesterdays announcement of the alleged "result" of the last senate seat to get a re-vote is seriously suspect - but also QUITE crucial.

Yesterday one of the last disputed senate revotes was called - oddly against the publics Obama swing - much understated - to stymie the 60 votes needed in the senate to get legislation through at a speed that is necessary.
This is a call for "election protection" types to put their thinking caps on again to GET PROOF of all this - like the last time, despite initial denials, or the claim that computer vote trails, phonecalls, bluetooth-type alterations from nearby etc are "totally opaque", computer forensics, statistics, the collation of lots of peoples little observations - it all adds up!
Remember Ohios local newspaper report about the old Board of Elections volunteer talking about the computer repair guy putting a little "patch" onto the machine the night prior to the investigation . . . . ETC.



PS Keep up the pressure on the Democrats - its all too possible they might settle for the idea of a few "topline" marginal, cosmetic adjustments, but get used to do things the G.O.P couldnt have gotten away with - but at the same time, dont shut the door to the possible seriously sensible steps/leaps they could take with the most useful sorts of engagement/pressure/support etc.

the whole worlds happier - a bit - but the whole worlds worrying, too !
keep it up -
the doors unlocked, perhaps, but it might need a bit of pushing . . . .
