And If You Ever Wondered If Voting Systems Can Be Rigged... You'd Better Have A Seat


Because when it comes to the supposedly too-much-money-at-stake-to-fail state lotteries, you may be in for a little shocker.




Nationwide investigation now expanding to 37 states!


More info from Good Morning America on the expanding investigation to the rigging of major draw lotteries across the nation. (regarding Eddie Tipton, already convicted of rigging one Iowa drawing)

credit cards. He has several videos, including one where he describes the two Christian Fundamentalist brothers who now head separate voting machine companies, one I remember is Dibald. They came to him and three other early computer experts to supposedly test the ability of people to hack the machines. They did it in 30 minutes.

He says it would cost about 2 million to rig a natioanal election and asks the question, "With so much money being spent just to elect a President, do you think someone wouldn't do it?"

He also discusses the hack against Kerry that originated with a TN company connected with Bush/Rove. This guy died in a mysterious small plane crash days before giving his deposition.

I've read all of that on Brad's Blog. I used to work in IT and the OHIO server IP address was changed at 1 am the night of the election and the next day, we had another W Presidency. That plane crash was mysterious indeed. Sad.

It obviously matters when money is thrown into the picture eh?!

We have no right to be shocked when these actions are revealed in my opinion. At this point we can assume it's all rigged.

of a democracy. I hope that famous group of hackers (Anonymous) will help protect our coming elections, including Democratic party primaries.
