Here's a list I've compiled - mostly focused on software driven elections, but with some choice books covering paper ballot fraud. I strongly recommend the history books, tho - something all American voters should be required to read if they want to involve themselves in honest election administration.

This is an 18,000-word investigative report in Rolling Stones Magazine – based mainly on info we uncovered in Ohio which Harvey, Bob and Richard provided to him. When this came out, we election investigators in Ohio sang, "On the Cover of the Rolling Stones" and generally celebrated national exposure of our evidence. http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/10432334/was_the_2004_election_stolen

seeVote

I strongly recommend seeVote at http://www.seeVote.com

It is the ONLY system that conducts an internal audit to verify a correct vote count, provides a written receipt and a papertrail, and allows the voter to verify their vote had been counted as they intended.

It out performs hand counting.

I'm an anti-civilizationist and election boycott advocate in San Diego. For reasons not to vote in faith-based elections with secret vote counts for candidates you cannot hold accountable if they fail to represent you, check out the discussions, articles, and videos on my website http://noinnovember.ning.com

Thanks, Rady -- great resource!

I own many of those books, but there are a couple I do not own, one because it is available online (Bev's book) and another because I read a friend's copy (the history of election fraud).

Brace yourself for the flood of books that will come out about the stolen 2008 election. Most of the early ones will be about local election fraud (although that can alter the results of the presidential race), of course. But once people realize that even if their candidate "won" the rigged "election," it doesn't mean that their votes were counted, or even taken into consideration, there will be a lot of books about how the presidential race was stolen also.

Fortunately for me, I've run out of space in my small apartment and won't be buying another bookcase to hold more election fraud books. Since I no longer vote in faith-based elections, I'm already happily contemplating all the money I'll save by not having to buy books about them. But I'll read the reviews that I'm sure that you, Joan, Andi, Ellen, Bob, Harvey, Brad, and many others will be posting here.

As for transparent voting systems like See-Vote and HCPB, I used to think that they would solve the problem until I learned that Venezuela uses electronic voting machines. And they have honest elections anyway, as evidenced by an election where Hugo Chavez's proposals for Constitutional reform FAILED at the polls.

It seems that if you have an honest government and honest people in charge of elections, almost any system will do. But you first need to have either a democracy, where government is in the hands of the people and everyone gets to vote directly on important issues, or a republic, which is a form of democracy where people still control their government but do it by exercising their will through their elected representatives. Our representatives have no obligation whatsoever to represent their constituents and the prevailing theory is that once "elected," they don't have to represent their constituents and are free to do whatever they wish, since their constituents cannot impeach or recall them and therefore have no way to hold them accountable during their term of office.

Yes, we can wait until their term of office is up and then try to vote them out in the next rigged election, but it is what they do DURING their term of office that is important. They either represent their constituents, which most no longer do, or we do NOT have a republic. If our "elected" representatives are not OUR voice in government, but their own voice, then our votes for them are not a voice in government either and we have no voice in government.

I Hope My Absentee ballot with a twist and trail was posted

On the "Conspiracy Theorists" I posted my idea about using the Absentee Ballot with a paper trail. I hope everyone gets to read it and consider using it. According to a lawyer friend of mine it's legal.

Interesting idea.

Is the state where you vote one of those that requires that absentee ballots be counted? Many states do not, so a lot of absentee ballots are simply discarded.

Will your ballot be counted by hand or put through an optical scanner and then tallied by a central tabulator? There are a few hundred vulnerabilities in those machines that could undetectably flip your vote to a candidate you hadn't voted for. In such cases your vote is counted, but not in the manner you had intended.

But of course your vote is only symbolic. Even if the candidate you voted for wins, they could decide to concede to the losing candidate without bothering to count the votes (Kerry 2004), or the Supreme Court could intervene at the request of the loser, nullify the election, and install the loser as President (Gore 2000). Our Constitution does not allow U.S. citizens to vote directly for President or Vice-President, so when you cast a vote for a presidential or vice-presidential candidate, you are actually voting for the slate of Electors of their political party. The Electors of the Electoral College are the only people the Constitution allows to cast votes for President or Vice-President.

Not that it matters to the approximately half of the U.S. electorate that still votes. As long as they can hope that their votes might be counted, they're willing to gamble away the future of our country in rigged elections.

If YOUR vote is counted, but millions of other votes are either not counted or are counted as votes for a different candidate than the one the voter selected, and a fraudulently elected candidate is installed in office, did your accurately counted vote consitute a voice in government?
