...instead of identifying possible discrepancies in electronic voting machine totals, the auditors covered up the evidence by manipulating the data after performing the hand count.

Was trying to get the top people in The Democratic Party to come aboard and protest electronic voting machinery and other methods of illegally altering the vote count.

All of those he contacted claimed to be skeptical, but I knew in my heart of hearts that they wanted this type of power.

any way actually ahead of Bernie. It just doesn't make sense. It doesn't pass the smell test.

But just like Stalin said, it isn't how many people vote a certain way , it is who it is that counts the votes.

And if that inner group of Elites has the media kept silenced, those Elites get away
with it time after time.

I watched the video posted in the other thread, and it seemed more complicated that the folks posting the "Chicago was flipped for Hillary!" let on, but I wasn't sure if there was a good explanation of what the audit actually was and what the contention was.

"Debunked" is the word issued from On High whenever it is necessary to stop discussion of something that is true.

Anyone who uses that word makes me wonder who told them to say it.

Go on any anti pesticide blog, any anti GM foods and seeds blog, any pro-reform of Big Pharma blog, and you will see that word used so often by the same group, that it echoes in your sleep.

Debunked. Debunked. Debunked.

And often if you cave to those saying it, you find out a month or two later that the issue had not been debunked at all.


Just as how people wondered about the events of 11-22-1963 were told they were "conspiracy theorists" now the word debunked is being used, possibly because "conspiracy theorists" has been so overused?

(But I will say this - the issue of how Bernie cannot possibly win at the convention has been debunked too. )

10. Or, it could mean that the claim has been not conclusively proven.

Like I said, I watched the entire board of elections meeting, and came away more skeptical of the challenge than I expected to, but with some questions. Whether it's been debunked or "debunked," I would still like to see what the poster I responded to said, so I can learn more.

11. Good thinking, and I agree with your statement.

But there is a huge difference between saying, for example, that "The claim that tobacco is causing lung cancer has been debunked" and saying, "There is a need for a more definitive
proof."

Lung cancer was such a tremendous item that possibly was being caused by tobacco that the Surgeon General, Koop, for the USA had warnings placed on cigarette packaging some 25 years before the definitive, DNA sequencing proof, was established.

And right now, why is it that all of the many swindles of election fraud being reported are negative for Sanders side, and none of them are on Hillary's? That is a mighty big indicator (not proof but indicator) that something is very wrong.
