Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy (new John Fund book)

Stealing Elections (Amazon page) ^ | September 18th, 2004 | Travis McGee

[Travis McGee]

Freepers who helped to defeat the democrat election fraud in 2000 will want to obtain this new book by John Fund ASAP, in order to be ready for their tricks in November 2004.

I heard Fund on a radio talk show last week, briefly. He went into the scoop discovered on Free Republic in 2000, namely, how 15,000 Bush ballots were "spiked" in Palm Beach County. This was first discovered through statistical analysis by freeper Robert E. Cook, PE.

If you are not familiar with this method of vote fraud, here is how it was done: corrupt 'rat precincts held back their ballots in tight races, most flagrantly in Palm Beach County. At the last minute, stacks of ballots were "spiked" down the Gore hole. This did not change the Gore ballots, which already had their chads punched out in normal voting.

But every Bush vote was ruined, because with the Gore hole also knocked out (by the spike) it became an invalid double vote.

These 15,000 ruined Bush ballots were traced to certain corrupt late-reporting precincts. (The rest of the Republican candidates on these 15,000 ballots were not spiked or invalidated, leaving a clear trail of evidence of the 'rat fraud.)

This was exhaustively detailed here in late 2000, but in those days, an explosive scoop from Free Republic was simply unable to gain traction in the MSM, and the story languished and died.

I suggest that as many freepers as possible get hold of this book, first: for defense against many types of 'rat fraud in November, and second: in order to explain to people how the 'rats almost stole the election in Palm Beach in 2000 by "spiking" ballots.

Early in 2004, for instance, the state of Maryland, which has 16,000 new Diebold machines, commissioned a security expert to try to rig a practice election. He and his team broke into the computer at the State Board of Elections, completely changed the outcome of the election, left, and erased their electronic trail—all in under five minutes.

I am going to a meeting of our county Election Judges this week. I will try to get clarification for this statement.

What does Fund mean by "the computer?" I am working in a heavily democrat precinct, and there are most likely going to be a lot of confrontational voters, as there were in the primary in March. It is going to be a difficult day!!!

*****Polls don't need watching around my parts,*****


Then how did Thune lose in 2002 in his race against Johnson? Surely you are not saying that every vote for Johnson was cast by a living sentient South Dakota citizen?

I don't care what the "polls" say, the "rumors" etc.
MAKE SURE YOUR YOU ARE CURRENTLY REGISTERED

If you recall the media tried to give FL to Gore in 2000
VNS was a private consortium owned by
ABC News, The Associated Press, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC.
4 of the 5 of the networks and cable newsrooms
(only ABC waited till both time zones closed)
"announced" Gore had won
BEFORE the 2nd time zone in FL had closed.
This cost President Bush votes in the FL panhandle.

I was at a friends house and the State of FL election website results showed President Bush was winning

In fact, the networks which called Florida for Gore did so early in the evening—before polls had even closed in the Florida panhandle, which is part of the Central Time Zone. NBC called Florida for Gore at 7:49:40 p.m., Eastern Time. This was 10 minutes before polls closed in the Florida panhandle. Thirty seconds later, CBS called Florida for Gore. And at 7:52 p.m., Fox called Florida for Gore. Moore never lets the audience know that Fox was among the networks which made the error of calling Florida for Gore prematurely. Then at 8:02 p.m., ABC called Florida for Gore. Only ABC had waited until the Florida polls were closed.

About an hour before the polls closed in panhandle Florida,
the networks called the U.S. Senate race in favor of the Democratic candidate.

The premature calls may have cost Bush thousands of votes from the conservative panhandle, as discouraged last-minute voters heard that their state had already been decided;
some last-minute voters on their way to the polling place turned around and went home. Other voters who were waiting in line left the polling place. In Florida, as elsewhere, voters who have arrived at the polling place before closing time often end up voting after closing time, because of long lines. The conventional wisdom of politics is that supporters of the losing candidate are most likely to give up on voting when they hear that their side has already lost. Thus, on election night 1980, when incumbent President Jimmy Carter gave a concession speech while polls were still open on the west coast, the early concession was blamed for costing the Democrats several Congressional seats in the West, such as that of 20-year incumbent James Corman. The fact that all the networks had declared Reagan a landslide winner while west coast voting was still in progress was also blamed for Democratic losses in the West; Congress even held hearings about prohibiting the disclosure of exit polls before voting had ended in the any of the 48 contiguous states.

Even if the premature television calls affected all potential voters equally, the effect was to reduce Republican votes significantly, because the Florida panhandle is a Republican stronghold. Most of Central Time Zone Florida is in the 1st Congressional District, which is known as the "Redneck Riviera." In that district, Bob Dole beat Bill Clinton by 69,000 votes in 1996, even though Clinton won the state by 300,000 votes.

So depress overall turnout in the panhandle,
and you will necessarily depress more Republican than Democratic votes.

A 2001 study by John Lott suggested that the early calls cost Bush at least 7,500 votes,
and perhaps many more.

At 10:00 p.m., which network took the lead in retracting the premature Florida win for Gore?
The first retracting network was CBS, not Fox.

Over four hours later, at 2:16 a.m., Fox projected Bush as the Florida winner,
as did all the other networks by 2:20 a.m.

At 3:59 a.m., CBS took the lead in retracting the Florida call for Bush. All the other networks, including Fox, followed the CBS lead within eight minutes. That the networks arrived at similar conclusions within a short period of time is not surprising, since they were all using the same data from the Voter News Service. (Linda Mason, Kathleen Francovic & Kathleen Hall Jamieson, “CBS News Coverage of Election Night 2000: Investigation, Analysis, Recommendations” (CBS News, Jan. 2001), pp. 12-25.)

The big 5 media TV and Cable newsrooms are the real threat to the 2004 election.

..."Early on Tuesday, November 7th 2000, TV stations and various media based in Florida reported that Gore has won Florida which was a big surprise for everyone because of strong republican support. Bush's brother Jeb is governor there and Florida usually gives support to the Republicans. Some of them questioned that and during the night CNN showed 52% Bush's lead over 46% for Gore. It is almost impossible to believe that media could have been that blind and biased to report Gore's victory."...

Thanks for the ping!

When I go in to vote on NOV 2nd (I will do it in person this year) if I see anyone not recognizable as being a local I intend to ask who they are and who they represent. Then I intend to holler voter intimidation if they are foreigners or out of state DEMOC lawyers/activist VoterFraud makers.

If they don't like it I'll invite them outside after I've voted for a toe-to-toe Military Serviceman's counseling session (serviceman's French lessons will be provided free of charge.)

here is how it was done: corrupt 'rat precincts held back their ballots in tight races, most flagrantly in Palm Beach County. At the last minute, stacks of ballots were "spiked" down the Gore hole.

This might make more sense in plain Engish. What are the mechanics of this method that evades all the safeguards presumably in place? Specially the call to have a rep from each party present?

[DaveMSmith]

Michael Medved has Tommy Franks on air now.. calling in.. missed that number

[Robert A Cook PE]

Reference point.

(Isn't it nice to have spell-checker applications now?

[TASMANIANRED]

Would it not be possible to put poll watchers in with video cameras for the entire day. If there is blatant fraud like this there it will be documented.

[jmstein7]

LOL!  John used my Law Review note as part of this book (which I think is pretty cool):

[hosepipe]

Joseph Stalin once said: "It's not who votes, but who counts the votes"

Some democrats could know this quote... Ya think ?...

[mylife]

I agree, I'll deliver mine in person
