1. It's called Guerilla Voting Reform.
Nobody listens or cares that Diebold / Rove etc steals an election. Especially if it is within a few percentage points or the margin of error.

The only way to force people to pay attention is to make the situation soooooo ludicrous that it can't be ignored.

How would you do that?

Get a total unknown. Make it so obvious that there could be no way he could win or is anywhere near qualified (in the conventional terms) or could even afford to campaign. Then just use the known techniques to control the voting and make him win.

An investigation will be called for and the manipulation will be found and the fraud exposed.

(I'm not saying that it couldn't be legitimate, but if someone were to want to point out the weakness of the system, this would be one way to do it.)

2. Oooops. Rigged it too much. Back it off a little.....
Last fall, ES&S quietly purchased Diebold, giving them 80% of market for electronic voting machings. And it's not just the un-auditable vote-counting; they now also own polling place check-in software (electronic pollbooks), voter registration software and vote-by-mail authentication software.

This link has very scary information, all with appropriate citations, regarding what could easily be a mass-manipulation of our elections.

They've already been caught registering voters who thought they were just signing petitions. Getting total registered voter numbers higher gives them more room to fudge numbers.

When you buy a pack of gum, you get a receipt. Why is there no receipt/audit trail on our votes? I can only think of one reason.

3. and watch... the Democratic Party won't do a thing about it and MSM won't cover it.
Hate to sound so pessimistic but I loved through the party closing their eyes to Ohio '04 first hand.
