After the Gore-Bush events in Florida, CT Sen Chris Dodd pushed through HAVA-Help America Vote Act. HAVA gives FREE MONEY to local election boards to have Friends of Dodd-FOD design and build computer hardware and software for election systems.

Most problems can be connected directly to the FOD.

Most Election Boards are Republican controlled and cannot wait to get their hands on that FREE MONEY so they can give contracts to FOD.

Not just that, but a clear way for them to back door into voting systems across the country. Obama’s admin pushed this sort of thing by trying to declare the voting systems across the country as critical infrastructure subject to DHS oversight.

This is a hoot. What would Dims do if all elections were honest? No dead voters, one vote per person, etc. Surely this has to be disenfranchising to minorities because white supreamacy, or something.

The FBI needs to add fake names in every precinct - if those people ‘vote’ then the election results are cancelled and the precinct re-votes.

The ‘dead’ don’t vote by themselves... most democrat voter fraud is done byvoting the people who don’t show up to vote... It's easy to catch... add the fake names NOW.

The ‘dead vote’ is an accidental byproduct of a type of voter fraud that votes the people who don't show up to vote.

Oh’ c’mon. Don’t think just because a billion ‘invested’ in state and local voting systems will mean rat government control of the voting systems.

Heck, just look at public school and university education. Since when does federal money mean federal control? /s

No investment needed, we already have "RAT control of the voting systems".
