Is Another Ballot Heist Coming?

The integrity of American elections ought to be above reproach. Unfortunately, recent history suggests that when candidates are desperate, serious hanky-panky is not out of the question.

The 2000 Florida Presidential election was severely marred by Al Gore's botched election robbery. The massive vote fraud in Palm Beach County stands as immutable proof of the extent that crooked Democrats will go to steal an election. After botching the robbery in "ballot box boiler rooms," the Democrats resorted to stall tactics, the courts, and endless recounts to steal the election for Gore. The only mistake the voter frauds made is that they did not destroy enough valid votes.

Only in Palm Beach

Robert Cook emailed me during and after the 2000 Florida recounts. I remember that Robert lived in Georgia at the time and he and I were certain of voter fraud in Florida and that the media were actively covering it up. Robert ran the election numbers and sent them to me. At the time I forwarded the information to every single member of the Florida House and Senate in a push for fraud-proof electronic voting. What Robert mathematically deduced was that Florida was the victim of a massive vote fraud scheme in Palm Beach County. Robert recounted his analysis and sent it to Michael Reagan. This short report is required reading for anyone who really wants to understand what actually happened in the 2000 Florida Presidential election.

The analysis leaves exactly zero room for the possibility for anything other than massive vote fraud. As Newsmax.com's Carl Limbacher reported: "Robert is a nuclear engineer with a track record for analyzing and correcting trends, errors and mistakes in heavy construction projects (ships, power plants, nuclear reactors, military and aerospace vehicles, etc.) for more than twenty years, put forth a compelling case that the 19,120 presidential race ballots at issue in Palm Beach County were 'destroyed by deliberate double-punching ballots with a "second punch" for Al Gore or Pat Buchanan.'" The results are shockingly clear evidence of vote fraud:

Only Palm Beach County, Florida voters seem incapable of understanding and using this style of ballot (butterfly ballot -- chosen by local Democrats).
Only in Palm Beach, FL were 15,000 ballots "invalidated" (for double-punched ballots) in the 1996 Presidential election. (Past history of vote fraud in 1996.)
Only in Palm Beach (and in only the most heavily Democratic precincts) were 19,120 ballots rejected in 2000 for double-punching.
Only in Palm Beach did this "double-punch" error happen only in the Gore-Bush-Buchanan selections for President.
Only in Palm Beach has the news media complained about "massive" ballot confusion.
Only in Palm Beach did Gore gain 750 votes in a recount.
Only in Palm Beach County that more than 20% of the registered Republicans "forgot" to vote for their party's presidential candidate.
Only in Palm Beach did Bush receive less than 65% of the registered Republican voters.
Only in Palm Beach did Buchanan get less than half of the votes he received before in 1996.

Cook provides the probable means by which a Democrat conspirator could have disenfranchised thousands of voters and destroyed their "punch ballot cards":

Stamping 45,000 ballots with a tool (or other device) through the Gore slot gives: Every Gore vote = still a valid Gore vote. (No change in the total, no change in the recount.) Every Bush, Buchanan, Workers Party, and Libertarian Party ballot IS IMMEDIATELY INVALID. They will be thrown out because they have two votes. They NEVER were counted in the first place = no change in the recount. The double-punch occurs ONLY in the presidential race, and no position on the ballot is disturbed. All other races are correctly counted. EVERY ballot that had no vote (a "protest vote" against both major candidates) becomes a Gore vote. All other races on the ballot are not disturbed, and are correctly counted.

In this way, stacks of ballots cards (valid votes) were destroyed in a matter a few fevered post election moments. This simple vote fraud technique explains all the ridiculously improbable statistical outliers of that election. There simply is no other plausible mathematical explanation.

As the 2012 election looms, concerned voters should recall the nationwide voter registration frauds of ACORN, Al Franken's brazenly stolen Minnesota Senate election, and George Soros' SOS Project which seeks to install crony Secretaries of State to "oversee" how close elections are "decided." The massive vote fraud in Florida in 2000 ought to concern every voter in every state. If the Democrat party so brazenly tried to steal Florida's 2000 election, chances are very good that they will try to steal other "close" elections in 2012.

Recall too that the groundwork is already being laid for vote fraud in 2012. Donna Brazile is already complaining about nonexistent "voter disenfranchisement" (just as the Democrats did in 2000). Editorials are being written and lawsuits are being filed in an attempt to thwart any meaningful measures to eliminate vote fraud. Whomever the GOP nominates for president, he or she will face Obama's vicious nonstop smear machine, the usual network media bias, and a massive George Soros-funded effort to steal this election. With Obama's poll numbers as bad as they are and with his reelection prospects as bleak as any President's in living memory, a massive and nationwide voter fraud campaign is already underway. And, if past elections are any indication, this vote fraud campaign will be successful to varying degrees. The degree to which the 2012 Democrat vote fraud campaign will be successful depends on whether voters who care enough to show up to vote care enough that their votes are being stolen and complain about it. And if they care that they are the voters who are actually being "disenfranchised."

Of my most bitter memories of the 2000 Florida recount (and attempted election theft) was that our military votes were being challenged at our local courthouse by Gore lawyers dressed in pinstriped suits with thick New Jersey accents. This was simultaneously happening all across Florida. Gore's "election" lawyers were dressed like (and talked like) the typical Hollywood typecast depiction of a sleazy mobster. Another laughable and lighter moment was when Chicago's Mayor Richard Daley offered to "help" us Floridians "count" our votes. That would be like asking Al Gore for a weather report.

There is two strips of metal in the middle
Not only is this stupid, but it is incredibly costly
Stupid AND costly can only mean- democrat design... so....why?
Well, you stack up a bunch of these, and you can EASILY poke a pencil through the stack, in the Gore column, and in that way any valid Gore votes remain OK but any Bush votes are invalidated now because now there is a double punch.

You can't stack just the paper ballots themselves (without the metal spacer) because it would be impossible to poke through a thick stack.

That is not true:

The “butterfly ballot” - the photo you show of the HOLDER around the ballot - is not what is being counted. This “cover” or holder around the lightweight 80 column IBM punchcard is seen when the ballot is in the voting booth, but the counted ballot is the a simple 80 character IBM card inside the butterfly ballot. The 80 character punchcard is the same generic IBM computer programming card used since the 1930’s and 40’s for data entry is inside the ballot, and since the 40’s and 50’s for programming FORTRAN and the original mainframes. (Yes, after the election, I went to our local county Sec of States office and examined the ballot holders, the un-punched IBM cards, and their covers.)

A “stack” of those IBM cards can be easily punched by the dozens at a time by straight thin wire - even a simple paperclip straightened out that could go through 45 or 60 data cards. Want to do 200 at a time? Make a wood tray so the corners of the ballot punch cards are neatly lined up along two edges, and use a simple woodworkers awl or carpenters finfishing nail punch. The FL democrats had actual un-accounted for ballot boxes in the trunks of their cars in Palm Beach and other counties, so they did not even need these tricks - but these simple "tricks just make it faster to commit the fraud.

Ramming either through the unpunched creates the holes and partially torn “hanging tabs” made famous by their mis-use and deliberate mis-representation in Palm Beach County after the election. If the stacks of altered computer punch cards are shuffled up once - as was done in the first few hours of the recounts and recounts and re-re-counts - all evidence is removed.

We need to make voter fraud and election theft capitol offences. I agree.

I'm sure, living among "honest" people, you can leave your door unlocked. Can you do that "anywhere?" Why not?We don't bother to lock our doors here. There are a lot of tourists here in this remote town for the fourth and we don't worry about them either.

You're talking about a group of people who crave power like a crack addict craves a fix.We can make it impossible to cheat by using the same technology the banks use for ATM machines and credit card companies use to prevent credit card theft. The people have to vote in really effective election methods and make it nation wide. 1. Paper ballots, no voting machines. 2. Polls open for several days like 72 hours, same time world wide, including military personnel overseas. 3. prohibit vote counting and election results reporting until polls close. Silence people like Dan Rather until polls close. 4. Prohibit exit polling and reporting. 5. Paper ballots locked in counting machines until polls close. 6. Everybody has a card like a credit card that is required to vote that is issued with picture ID at registration. Proof of identity, residence an citizenship required to get this voter registration card. 7.No absentee voting. Let people hire ambulances from nursing homes to polls to vote or they don't vote. 8.Helping people mark ballots prohibited. 9.Paper ballots marked with dark pencil required, deposited in locked counting machine by each voter. counting machine tallies number of ballots deposited and compares number to number of voters. Write in candidates prohibited. Stickers like Murkowsky used in Alasks prohibited. 10. Registration required well before election. No same day registration.

Wih a system such as this crooked candidates would find it impossible to cheat.
