Wednesday, May 2, 2012 'Tea Party' Joe Miller Allies With Progressives On Disastrously Flawed Anchorage Election
Miller wrote, "the integrity of elections is one of the bedrocks of our nation. 'We the People' is a rallying cry for many Americans, and this is manifested in our ability to vote, so that the people control what government does, and not vice versa."
Wednesday, April 25, 2012 California University Student Hacks Online Election (2 comments)
Another online election has been wholly compromised -- and now cancelled -- after it was discovered that a business school student hacked into it and stole hundreds of passwords and IDs, so that he could fix the results of the election.
Wednesday, April 11, 2012 Phony GOP Meme of the Moment: 'Gas Prices Have Doubled Under Obama!' Uh, well, not really...
Claiming that "gas prices have doubled under Obama" is as dishonest and disingenuous as claiming that they have fallen under Obama because of his energy policies. After all, prices have fallen from the all-time high they were at under George W. Bush to what they are today.
Friday, February 24, 2012 Previously Legal WI Voters Turned Away at Polls Tuesday as GOP's New Photo ID Restrictions Begin (3 comments)
Legal and Constitutional challenges to these new voting laws around the country, as passed by Republican legislatures and governors in the wake of the 2010 election, are working their way through the courts on behalf of those who are likely to be disenfranchised by them.
Tuesday, January 31, 2012 EXCLUSIVE: Virginia Officials Confirm Criminal Election Fraud Investigation of Gingrich Campaign
It appears entirely possible that the likely 2012 Presidential nominee for the Republican Party, Mitt Romney, is, himself, a voter fraud criminal, even as his current alternative-of-the-moment, Newt Gingrich, faces a confirmed criminal felony investigation for some 1,500 acts of ballot petition fraud in his own home state of Virginia.
Saturday, January 21, 2012 Alvin Greene Was Here: 100% Unverifiable Statewide E-Voting in SC's 2012 GOP Primary (2 comments)
whatever the state and media tell you are the results of the election -- no matter how "unexpected" those results may or may not be -- will most likely be the results of the election, whether they actually reflect the way voters attempted to vote or not.
Wednesday, January 4, 2012 Santorum 'Wins' Iowa, Everyone Else Doesn't
With his "victory," Romney, seems to have failed to even reach his own 2008 Iowa numbers. Then, when he came in second, he had 30,021 votes. Last night -- a full four years and who-knows-how-many millions of dollars later -- Romney's total was almost identical, at 30,015. He fell by a total of 6 votes from four years ago. 6 votes.
Wednesday, November 23, 2011 Paper Ballot Op-Scan Election Results Flipped After Recount Finds New Tally 'Extremely Favors Opposite Candidate'
It's unlikely that voters in any of the elections held on those systems will see ballots actually counted by human beings prior to "winners" and "losers" being declared on Election Night. It's also extremely rare that hand-tallies will be carried out afterwards or that elections results will be allowed to be overturned thereafter, even in the event that mis-tallies are discovered.
Saturday, August 6, 2011 Dirty Tricks in WI: Deceptive Absentee Ballot Mailers Appear to be Coordinated Hoaxes (1 comments)
Election integrity groups are hoping to take proactive action next Tuesday to attempt to oversee the election in a state with an election system which is not particularly easy to oversee. while most of the voters in the state are allowed to use paper ballots, those ballots are counted by computer and computer only. There is no inspection of paper ballots to ensure that the computers have tallied them correctly.
Monday, August 1, 2011 Everything You Need to Know About Obama, The Brad Blog Already Told You in 2007... (1 comments)
President Obama has been forced to deal with an unprecedented extremist GOP willing to use terrorists tactics to get their way, creating phony "hostage crises" time and again--in the latest episode putting a gun to the head of the world economy. But negotiating with terrorists only ensures the likelihood of the bad guys taking another hostage in the future, which the Republicans have repeatedly done, and will continue to do.
Wednesday, June 15, 2011 Good News for Constitutional Conservatives in Two CA-Related Court Rulings, But Very Bad News in WI
Wisconsin's state Supreme Court Tuesday reinstated Gov. Scott Walker's plan to all but end collective bargaining for tens of thousands of public workers. On the very same day the court decided officially to accept the case, they also issued their verdict. It was a largely predictable one, with all four Republican appointees on the court siding with Walker and the state GOP.
Friday, May 20, 2011 Tale of the Tapes: Wisconsin's 'Dog-and-Pony Show' Faith-Based Supreme Court Election 'Recount' (2 comments)
As if the opened ballot bags, missing and scratched-out serial numbers, and mis-dated poll tapes aren't enough, the minutes from the "recounts" in three different cities in two different counties have revealed that the so-called "Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trails" on touch-screen voting machines didn't actually print at all, because the paper rolls were inserted backwards.
Tuesday, February 15, 2011 U.S. Chamber of Commerce Thugs Used 'Terror Tools' for Disinfo Scheme Targeting Me, My Family, and Other Progressives (1 comments)
The revelation of terror tools used so brazenly against political opponents in the private corporate sector is disturbing, to say the least. While the notion of paid political operatives subversively using social media to discredit opponents has long been suspected by many, here we have evidence that these tactics are, in truth, fairly common among those who can afford to deploy them.
Tuesday, December 14, 2010 McGovern to CNN on WikiLeaks' Assange: 'You Should be Following His Example' (1 comments)
Since Assange has not been charged with anything remotely akin to "terrorism", nor has he like, ya know, a terrorist, either killed someone, tried to kill someone, or even advocated killing anybody --- unlike many of those who have advocated killing him.
Wednesday, September 15, 2010 CASTLE DEFEATS O'DONNELL IN DELAWARE!
But the point here is: Who knows? Absolutely nobody does. I don't. You don't. O'Donnell doesn't. Castle doesn't. The State of Delaware doesn't. Even the manufacturer of the e-voting system, Danaher/Guardian, would be unable to prove who actually won or lost the race one way or another.
Friday, November 21, 2008 The fallout from Promoting Janet Napolitano
Mark Crispin Miller adds: The election reform movement in AZ has lately made great progress, against all odds and with great hardship. (Two months ago John Brakey was hustled off to jail in Pima County, for insisting on his right to monitor the handcount of some ballots there.)Any further progress will be blocked, and all that recent progress could be nullified, if Brewer becomes the Queen of Arizona.
Wednesday, October 22, 2008 Take Them Out of Service NOW (2 comments)
Now, finally --- and thankfully --- we have a report of voters experiencing votes flipping from the Republican candidate John McCain, to the Democratic candidate Barack Obama in a second TN county. Does this mean someone can actually take some action to get these machines the hell out of service now?!
Wednesday, February 27, 2008 CA: "Double Bubble" trouble Bowen update...
I've now gotten to chat about all of this with Bowen spokesperson Nicole Winger,whose carefully worded statement to the Pasadena Star-News is mentioned in the update.We chatted about the details of the full article above to make sure she understood that Logan is proposing discarding possibly thousands of ballots that can(& according to CA state law & constitution)must be counted.She will be sharing that information with Bowen

The Holt Election Reform Propaganda Machine Has Said a Ban on DRE Touch-Screen Voting Machines Couldn't Pass in Congress,But Has Yet to Name a Single Supporter Who Would Vote Against Such a Ban...Feel free to study the graphic below to understand how no human being can ever verify a vote as cast and counted on the DRE systems allowed for continued use by the Holt bill.Then pass it on.Democracy may wel
Monday, January 22, 2007 Allow Jim Webb to Give His SOTU Response to the Full Joint Session of Congress! (10 comments)
ACTION ALERT! We have ONE DAY to make this happen. It will still take a lot of noise and many citizens standing up to call for this in order for the Democrats to show the courage they'd need to make this bold and important change to the years-long tradition of relegating Opposition SOTU Responses to the dim recesses of some poorly lit makeshift TV studio
somewhere.
Saturday, January 20, 2007 Congressional Dems- Here's Your Chance to Show You're a Co-Equal Branch
The State of the Union Address is the perfect opportunity to point that out. Pelosi and Reid Should Allow Jim Webb to Address the Full Joint
Session in His Democratic Response Next Week...
Tuesday, November 21, 2006 Stephen Heller: Modern-Day American Hero
Case just closed: Stephen Heller, the Diebold whistle-blower whose revelations led to the decertification of those machines in CA, struck a plea deal on felony charges.General counsel for the National Whistleblower Center said "This is a very rare instance. In fact, the only one of which I'm aware, in which a whistleblower has been charged with a felony.I find it outrageous."SH will reveal the entire story in the coming days

An urgent letter has been sent today to the Governors, Secretaries of State
and State Election Directors of all 50 states urging them to immediately
create and impliment plans and procedures for allowing the use of Emergency
Paper Ballots at every local jurisdiction during this November's general election. Please circulate widely and contact your state officials. Simply put, our elections are at stake!
Tuesday, September 19, 2006 The Let America Vote Act! Call on Congress to pass "Emergency Paper Ballot Legislation" Now! (3 comments)
The legislation can, and should be, as short as a single paragraph so that it can be read and passed quickly by every U.S. Congress member. It can apply only to this November's general election, if that is needed to get it passed and signed quickly.
It should read something like this...
