I R Convinced.... We won in Georgia in 2002

[Dob Bole]

There's a new commondreams article on the 2002 elections in Georgia. As you might know, Max Cleland lost to Republican Saxby Chambliss, and Georgia elected its first Republican governor in 130 years.

No we didn't.

All of the demographic trends in Georgia have continued to favor Democrats. Something is screwy with the Diebold machines, and the only Republican serving in my state should be Zell Miller.

1. Is anyone in ANY official capacity at all concerned about this?

Everytime I read about voting machine tampering in my small southern newspaper, it's made to look like "conspiracy theory".

[Dob Bole]

2. Don't know...

I'm a skeptic myself. But there is pretty substantial evidence that there is no way the Republicans could have won, so the voting machines are simply the first place to look for the errors.

[Eloriel]

23. Yes, in GA they are officially concerned about

saving thier own asses, and nothing more.

[burythehatchet]

3. I appreciate the article but your headline is misleading

Personally, I believe that the results were manipulated but no, its not final, as you state.

[Dob Bole]

6. Sorry...

meant I'm finally convinced. The title is kind of misleading, now that I look at it.

[burythehatchet]

7. No sweat - it got my attention

:)

[aquart]

4. Then we better be lining up lawyers.

This time, we sue when the machines cough up convenient Republican votes.

Challenge, challenge, challenge.

No more Mr. Nice Democrat.

[JohnnyFianna1]

5. Anyone listening..........

Just ignore, ignore........... Must be that crazy liberal media again, up to no good. Actually the number of registered democrats in many areas of the south outnumber the number of repubs. These people generally vote Republican anyway. (They are known as Raygun Democrats, socially conservatives who, for the most part, have nothing else in common with Repukes)

[grannyb]

8. Really makes one wonder

if there is any way for us to win an election?

[LostInTheMaise]

9. Is there any factual evidence to back up this assertion?

I read the story but only saw an opinion and no facts. We need to do better than this to prove anything.

[eridani]

32. That's the beauty of touch screen

No permanent records whatsoever, so you can never prove anything.

10. Welcome to DU

Here's some help sorting it out.
http://www.failureisimpossible.com/agenda/votingmachines.htm

You will find an exceptional listing, pick one that applies to your state.

There are many legislators working to change the voting. You'll find links there.

M.E. Cowen has worked hard putting this sight together since 2000.

11. I live in Georgia too.

I agree, something went very wrong in that last election. Someone has done a very good job a making sure there is no way to trace anything back. We have contacted Kathy Cox, head of the Ga. Dept of State. She has no interest in even listening to any complaints about voting machines.

We have tried to petition her to get paper trails for the 2004 election, but forget it!

I've very worried about so many more states using these machines this year.

12. last week...

...salon.com had a big article about this. You might want to go look it up, too.

What with their surpression of unions and opposition to free media and what not.

20. Hey, I think you have something there!

Just to prove it, I think all dem techies should hack the machines and the republican vote, just to prove it can't be done. Thanks so much for your input.

[WhereIsMyFreedom]

27. Sadly, I think this is the only way

that the Republicans will start to realize that this is a bipartisan issue.

22. Shazam.....LOL

Us Democrats just can't give up on the stolen election.

[boobooday]

25. Can't you people get over it?

Don't you see it is just so much easier to have an election with only NINE people instead of that messy way that lets all sorts of women and minorities and god only knows what cast a vote?

It's called an increase in PRODUCTIVITY. As voters, we have been LAID OFF.

46. so, you don't think it was a state-rights issue?

imho ... the votes should have been counted ... Gore electors considered the winner ... the GOP legislature in Tallahassee would have sent their own slate of electors to Washington on Jan. 6, 2001, to challenge the Florida elected electors; and, things would have gone from there ... probably ending up in the House of Representatives ...

we have all the time in the world to do the process correctly vs. risk violating the Constitution through partisanship/judicial precedents

49. I just have to know...where did you get that photo?

Love it!

50. That's my boys

I found them on the internet. PM me and I will look for the link.

[Old and In the Way]

24. It's Diebold...you ought to at least get the name of the company

who is screwing our democracy correct.

While we are protecting your right to make your vote count, you are obviously not smart enough to know that your side is "winning" while the country loses. When you finally wake up, it will be way too late to fix the problem.

500,000 more people wanted Gore. If we had gotten our way, we'd have $500BB more money in the US Treasury, 9/11 would not have happened, and we wouldn't have lost 500 American soldiers dying because of Mr. Bush's lies. We wouldn't be making government war contracts a growth industry for Republican contributors and we'd be dealing with the terrorists by making them the international criminals that they are.

I don't mind that you are clueless about the assault on Democracy, but I am curious as to why you hate America so much?

[Skip Intro]

40. If I can deviate from the subject at hand for a moment -

Can I make a couple of observations, and ask you a question (besides this one, of course)?

First, your "head" honcho on the "air" - "rush" (lol!) turns out to be a pill-popping hypocrite.

Second, your messaiah - g.w. "flightsuit" moron, turns out to be awol, and a liar.

Question - why did we have to invade Iraq?


Tell me too, if you will, anticipating your red/white/and bullshit answer - how are we "more free" now that we've slaughtered a few tens of thousands of Iraqis, and 550 Americans, not to mention the maimed. How are we more free? And where, oh where are the WMDs the moron killed these people to protect us from ?

I don't expect an answer. If anything, I expect some drivel about Clinton. You got nothin', bushbot, nothin'.

[smiley_glad_hands]

43. And your full of shit too.

Republipete that is.
