Evidence Mounts that the Vote Was Hacked

Saturday 06 November 2004

When I spoke with Jeff Fisher this morning (Saturday, November 06, 2004), the Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Florida's 16th District said he was waiting for the FBI to show up. Fisher has evidence, he says, not only that the Florida election was hacked, but of who hacked it and how. And not just this year, he said, but that these same people had previously hacked the Democratic primary race in 2002 so that Jeb Bush would not have to run against Janet Reno, who presented a real threat to Jeb, but instead against Bill McBride, who Jeb beat.

"It was practice for a national effort," Fisher told me.

And some believe evidence is accumulating that the national effort happened on November 2, 2004.

The State of Florida, for example, publishes a county-by-county record of votes cast and people registered to vote by party affiliation. Net denizen Kathy Dopp compiled the official state information into a table, available at http://ustogether.org/Florida_Election.htm, and noticed something startling.

While the heavily scrutinized touch-screen voting machines seemed to produce results in which the registered Democrat/Republican ratios largely matched the Kerry/Bush vote, in Florida's counties using results from optically scanned paper ballots - fed into a central tabulator PC and thus vulnerable to hacking - the results seem to contain substantial anomalies.

1. Yeah, foul play

Doesn't begin to describe it. And the complacent media, again, will do nothing about it.

Who will it be to bring this out in the open, full bore? Who will take up this mantle? I was just in our employee lounge getting coffee and Imus was on our TV spouting off about how the "election isn't over until Susan Sarandon says it is". Now I despise Imus, but he reflects the feeling of the majority of our so-called media.

Will no one of any journalistic morals among them stand up and take this foul play on?

2. Why should the media say anything?

Multi National Corporate owned media interests are never going to hand you a stick to beat them.
