I highly recommend we all buy the book because I have heard it has a lot of relevent information that would tell us what to look for in THIS election.
Having a freeper in every precinct is a wonderful idea, but what about in the Registrar's office? I worry about what happens to the equipment once it leaves the precinct too.
I agree. I've got the info written down so I can tell others about it, too. Forewarned is fore armed.
Thanks!
Absolutely!
-- we all need to be clear about the danger this issue poses-- this is the October Surprise from the Left, and they are not even being subtle about it- why should they, with the compliant media, news & entertainment divisions, on their side.
Thanks, Backhoe!

My powder's dry. Yes, they will try to pull this off. All this "get out the vote" BS is nothing more than a method to add names to the lists. Most of the voters won't show up at the polls, but they won't have to - their votes will be used "on their behalf" by crooked leftist poll workers, even if they have to do it after hours (like St. Louis).
In 2000, we lost a couple of Senate seats , probably a couple of house seats, and almost the Presidency to voter fraud. Take away the fraud and alGore would come up short of the popular vote.
The only thing I can think of is watching them like a hawk until the machine information is downloaded/delivered/whatever to the central tally office. Republicans need to get poll watchers in each and every polling place. The fraud will occur wherever there are no watchers (and probably a few places where there are watchers).
You are absolutely right, Backhoe.
BTTT!!!!!!!!
Outstanding post/thread! Thanks for the ping!
thanks for the pings. :-)
It was reported yesterday that there are more people registered to vote in Franklin County, Ohio, Columbus that there are residents living there who would be elligible to vote. They have a month to straighten this out. If they need to work 24-7, "GIT R DONE!"
All that remains of the Clintonized Democratic party is cheating, lying fraud. No wonder Zell is mad!
Thanks and ReBump!
NewsMax's Insider Report has been warning our readers that Democrats and their supporters may be laying the groundwork for a massive effort to "steal" the election come Election Day.
But that is not how it will be played by the big media. If John Kerry wins, the media spin will be about the "new voters" who threw the election to Kerry in swing states and were "undercounted" by the polls.
The New York Times headlined in Monday's editions: "As Deadlines Hit, Rolls of Voters Show Big Surge."
NewsMax previously reported that Democrats have been out-registering Republican voters by 5 to 1 in key states such as Ohio and Florida. In some states, such as Iowa, Democrats already have supplied absentee ballots to election boards at a rate of more than 2 to 1 over Republicans.
In its latest article the Times confirms these trends, reporting that in so-called swing states all across the nation potential voters seeking to register in time for the November presidential election are swamping election officials.
The record rise in the number of registrants has jammed boards of election from Pennsylvania to Oregon, as the registration deadlines for the largest of the crucial swing states was today (Oct. 4).
According to the Times, election officials "have had to add staff and equipment, push well beyond budgets and work around the clock to process the registrations."
Oct. 4 was the deadline for registering new voters in Pennsylvania as well as Ohio, Michigan, Florida and 12 other states, and election workers will go on mandatory overtime to chip away at the thousands of forms that have been arriving daily, the Times reported.
In Montgomery County, Pa., the elections staff has been working day and night seven days a week since late August to process the crush of registrations -- some 32,000 since May and counting. To deal with the deluge the office also has added 12 computers, 15 phone lines and 12 workers from other departments -- as well as a technician whose usual job is fixing voting machines at the warehouse.
In Philadelphia, overtime and weekend duty began in July to deal with what is now the largest number of new voter registrations in the past 21 years. Officials there told the Times that they are still running six days behind, adding that in the last two days they've handled about 10,500 new registration forms. At 204,000, the number of new registrations has already surpassed that of the last big year, 1992, which had 193,000.
In Cleveland, the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections has spent $200,000 on temporary workers this year to deal with 230,000 new registrations, more than double the number in 2000.
The number of registrations in Tallahassee, Fla., is up 20 percent since the presidential primary in March.
St. Louis reports the largest increase ever in potential new voters. "We are moving toward having the largest number of registered voters in the history of St. Louis County," David Welch, one of the directors of elections told the Times.
Las Vegas has had to hire 30 additional workers to deal with the additional 3,000 to 4,000 voters a week, three times the number in 2000. The elections director told the Times he was getting 3,000 new cards a day last week. "Everything we're seeing is that there has been a tremendous increase in voter registration," Kay Maxwell, president of the League of Women Voters, told the Times. "In the past, we've been enthused about what appeared to be a large number of new voters, but this does seem to be at an entirely different level."
The paper noted that the pace of new registrations is particularly high in urban areas of swing states, where independent Democratic groups and community organizations have been running a huge voter registration campaign for just over a year.
Among those running registration drives is a coalition of allegedly nonpartisan groups called National Voice, which the Times said had announced last week a push for an additional 200,000 registrations in the last days.
Another group, Project Vote, the nonpartisan arm of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, claims more than a million registrations in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington and other states, and planned to have its largest force of paid workers on the streets over the past weekend registering people to vote.
These nonpartisan community groups, as well as Democratic organizations such as America Coming Together, have driven most of the increase, registration officials say.
Election officials told the Times that some of the big groups seem to be signing up anyone on the streets in order to reach quotas, with half-filled-out forms suggesting something less than true enthusiasm.
At any rate, with so many new voters on the rolls, election officials are starting to worry about what will happen at the polls on Election Day.
But the worst fear is that these new registrations will be used as the basis for vote fraud.
There is no evidence that any of these groups registering new voters are doing anything illegal -- or planning to do so.
Still, Republican strategists tell NewsMax that by increasing voter registrations in inner city and heavily Democratic areas, there is an increased worry that multiple voting schemes will take place on Election Day.
Republicans typically do not have enough volunteers or do not wish to go to inner city areas as poll watchers.
Without a check on these polling places, schemes can be concocted where one person may cast votes for many people who were registered but did not bother to show up.
Republicans have been loath to make an issue of such practices because of allegations that such charges are racist.
Why can't Republicans learn to fight? Every time the Dems complain about 2000 we should bring up The Stolen Votomatic.
Even if the theft did not involve vote fraud (which I doubt) how on Earth can the Dems defend against that accusation?
The theft and the outrageous dismissal of charges are a matter of historical fact. The police records exist.
We have the Dems by the short hairs but refuse to employ our advantage.
My notes (made in 2000) follow.
Forgotten in the hectic closing days of the Florida fiasco is the matter of the stolen Votomatic.
It was found after the election by Palm Beach police in the car trunk of one Mr. Slosberg (sp?) a Democrat politician who was not a member of any canvassing board.
Treating it as a possible theft the police dropped the case when the Democratic leader of the Palm Beach Canvassing Board, Ms. LaPorte, decided not to press charges.
It was, obviously, entirely incorrect for this to be treated as only an attempted theft. This Votomatic could have been used to fabricate votes for Al Gore. It could have also been used to create 'overvotes' thus spoiling any ballots that voters made for Bush. (Gang-punching votes for Gore on voters' ballots would spoil those which were originally voted for Bush.)
It could have been used to fabricate votes in Palm Beach or in other nearby Florida counties such as Broward or Miami-Dade. It could have been used after the election or before the election.
