I know this is nothing new to most people, or at least, it is obvious to most. But with the incidents of voter suppression and intimidation listed like this, all together, in chronological order -
http://shadowbox.i8.com/stolen.htm (see the Other Articles / Blogs section) it's just overwhelming. I am overwhelmed. It's almost impossible not to look at the breadth of voter suppression reported in multiple states and not believe that it was coordinated on some level, somehow. There's a clear pattern there, it can't be lightly debunked. I realize saying that pushes me over the "conspiracy!" line, and I know any rational person who resists theories like this will try to explain it away... but to argue against that theory, you have to ignore Sproul operating in 4 states, multiple mass-mailings of faulty information targeted at Democrats or African-Americans in multiple states, multiple accounts of missing or late-arriving absentee ballots, multiple reports of voters having to use provisional ballots, or of precincts running out of ballots or paper, multiple incidents of polls opening one-two hours late, multiple reports of only 3 or 4 voting booths per 300 or 500 or 1500 voters, the multiple incidents of Republican officials ignoring the laws and policies of their state, the highly suspect hardware problems in multiple precincts or even in the same building in multiple cities... it defies logic or coincidence. The key word is multiple. LOL. The odds are just impossibly thin that all of this, ALL of these incidents, were not connected, and are just simply
coincidence. Know why? Because it didn't happen in Kansas, it didn't happen in Idaho, it didn't happen in Republican areas all across the south, it didn't happen in solid blue areas like NYC or Chicago or Detroit or Boston... it happened in Houston and San Antonio and Columbus OH and Cincinnati OH and Cleveland OH and all over Florida... It defies mathematical probability.
And I didn't even get to the 4 most recent pages, and I skipped a lot and left a lot of the early stuff out... it was just too much. Maybe tomorrow I'll find those exceptions where Republicans had to wait in long lines and there weren't enough booths, and the vote was suppressed, maybe I just missed them, because I want to fair and measured - fair and balanced, LOL - but something tells me I didn't.

http://www.votersunite.org/There is no way this can be proven. Somebody would have to talk. Somebody would have to step forward and say, "I know." Because of the extreme partisanship of what we're dealing with here, I doubt that's ever going to happen. Without any hint of evidence or proof of who's behind this - other than Sproul, that's pretty much in the bag - my guess is that this was done at the local level by fanatics in the Republican youth groups, like the College Republicans... probably with encouragement from the RNC leadership, probably higher, but we'll never be able to pin it on any one group or person, there will never be an email or memo surfacing as evidence of anything. We just know. No sane person can look at this list and not think so.
In my (most humble and unconnected) opinion, this was a 2-pronged attack: voter suppression and E-vote machine tampering, very loosely connected at the state level, just enough to swing the election. That's why I'll bet we won't find massive amounts of votes missing or going one way too far out of the realm of "coincidence" or "isolated incident." They didn't need to shift 100,000 votes in any one state; 1000 in this precinct, 3500 in that ward... it was enough. There were so many ways to do it - look at all the power outages, machines going blank, MULTIPLE machines going blank, LOL - it sounds crazy, conspiratorial, but, hey... they laughed at Hillary, too, didn't they? But this time we won't have a David Brock stepping out of the right-wing shadows to tell the story. This time, unless they got careless and it is revealed in the recount, it'll never be proven. I pray that their extreme hubris will expose it in some way, somewhere, and I support the recounts 100%. But if nothing else, if nothing is found, this mountain of problems screams for election reform, and that's one bone I'm not going to let go of.
My head hurts. :tinfoilhat:
