Russia Today asks New Yorkers: Could Romney Steal Presidential Election?

[LongTomH]

Two things you can learn from this short vid:

1. New Yorkers, at least, are concerned about the dangers of election theft, and
   
2. They're aware of this across the pond!

The question you need to be asking yourself is: "Why the @!#& do we have to hear this from a Russian journalist?"

1. None Dare Call It Treason,

Feb. 2001. The Nation. Vincent Bugliosi.
I can't forget that the 2000 election was, in fact, fixed by a fanatical Republican establishment.

2. It Was Also Reported in Forbes

3. Back in 2006 we found out that the funding was never provided for Electronic voting safe guards

"Due to underfunding and lack of attention to the EAC and the Election Reform it was supposed to oversee, Soaries says we now have an "inability to trust the technology that we use" to count votes in our American democracy, even as "we’re spending a billion dollars a week in Iraq."

"We know more today about how to build a machine to take pictures of rocks on Mars than we know about how to build a machine to safeguard the American right to vote," complained Soaries in the interview.

On Electronic Voting System standards --- which HAVA mandated would be created by the EAC --- Soaries blasts both the White House and Congress for failing to supply them with the needed resources to complete the mandate, both for the federal government and the states that were relying on them to do so.

"[T]he states were forced to comply and they were asking us for guidance. We were ill-equipped to provide guidance. We didn’t begin our work until January 2004 and we spent the first three months of our work looking for office space. Here we were, the first federal commission, responsible for implementing federal law in the area of election administration and for the first three months we didn’t even have an address. And we physically had to walk around Washington DC looking for office space. This was a travesty. I was basically deceived by the leaders of the House, the Senate and the White House."

4. So this was one of their most important targets

and they'd underfund the entire system to gain that advantage

5. I really and truly hope the President is aware of this

and is taking steps to do something about it.

6. Stealing an election is a FELONY; keep your eyes and cameras open wide

Document everything at the polls; bring your cellphone vid cameras; keep your eyes wide open

7. Funny coming from a youtube crew run by the Russian state.

8. Most Americans don't care.

They don't care that RepubliCONS steal elections regularly. They don't care if they have democracy or not. They sat around cheering the bushes when the Supremes picked our president in 2000. They sat around when funny things were happening with vote counting in Ohio in 2004.

They just couldn't care less about the destruction of Democracy.

And when it happens again, they will just let it go.
