Eugene Robinson: "The GOP is trying to pull off an unconscionable Crime Against Voters"

19. Pennies on the dresser versus millions in the bank

That is the difference btw voter fraud and election fraud.

I don't have a problem with legitimate procedures making voters prove that they are citizens. I would even back a test that proves some minimum standard of literacy.

But what good are these procedures when there is massive election fraud done through computer voting? Anyone who has studied read the Bradblog is aware that Premier (Diebold), Hart, Sequoia, and ES & S control the systems that count virtually all of our votes. These systems are easily hacked, and there is no transparency or oversight. IMHO, Bush was never elected president. 2000 was stolen by fraud and the USSC. Then the smart congress put out millions of dollars (HR 3295 2002; HAVA) to provide electronic voting systems to all of the poor counties that couldn't afford the fancy electronic voting systems. Now the whores in black robes don't have to pretend to deliberate when a new puppet is chosen. A lever can be thrown, and the millions of votes for the D whore will be switched to the R whore, or vice versa.

As a matter of fact the Brad Blog also recently ran a story about the FL sec of state was recently prevented from running a purge of the voter rolls in FL in preparation for the 2012 election. This would have been in violation of the Voting Rights Act, and was prevented by the DoJ, but that would have been many thousands removed in one fell swoop.

I'm so tired of the political dog and pony show where Dems get upset about reasonable minimal standards being imposed on citizens, like proving you are a citizen when you vote. Big deal. But then they ignore the big picture: the small amount of voters who are "disenfranchised" because they can't be bothered to get a photo ID (?!?!) is pennies on the dresser compared to the many millions whose votes are routinely compromised through election fraud. But where is the outcry about that?

This whole two party system is a false dichotomy. It is a fraud to perpetuate the power system. We are continually pushed into a chosen direction through the Problem-Reaction-Solution that manipulates the masses into choosing options contrary to their own best interest. e.g. In 2000 there was a very close election that came down to a small percentage of votes in FL. The corporate media made much ado over these hanging chads that made votes cast on paper ballots ambiguous. The antiquated paper voting systems were in poorer Dem counties, while the rich Rep counties had fancy electronic voting machines. The paper vote counties had to slog through counting millions of ballots by hand, while the electronic vote counties could just turn a switch. After the debacle of 2000, everyone knew that we had to get rid of paper ballots and go to the space-age electronic voting systems. Congress appropriated millions of dollars to counties, who went to fine upstanding companies like Diebold and ES&S and bought electronic machines. Problem-Reaction-Solution.
