New Data Shows Widespread Vote Manipulations in 2004
Common Dreams
By Peter Phillips
In the fall of 2001,
after an eight-month review of 175,000 Florida ballots never counted in
the 2000 election, an analysis by the National Opinion Research Center
confirmed that Al Gore actually won Florida and should have been
President. However, coverage of this report was only a small blip in
the corporate media.
New
research compiled by Dr. Dennis Loo with the University of Cal Poly
Pomona now shows that extensive manipulation of non-paper-trail voting
machines occurred in several states during the 2004 election.
National
exit polls showed Kerry winning in 2004. However, It was only in
precincts where there were no paper trails on the voting machines that
the exit polls ended up being different from the final count. According
to Dr. Steve Freeman, a statistician at the University of Pennsylvania,
the odds are 250 million to one that the exit polls were wrong by
chance. In fact, where the exit polls disagreed with the computerized
outcomes the results always favored Bush – another statistical
impossibility.
There is
now strong statistical evidence of widespread voting machine
manipulation occurring in US elections since 2000. Coverage of the
fraud has been reported in independent media and various websites. The
information is not secret. But it certainly seems to be a taboo subject
for the US corporate media.
In the
computer age…election fraud can occur externally without local precinct
administrators having any awareness of the manipulations – and the
fraud can be extensive enough to change the outcome of an entire
national election.
There is
little doubt key Democrats know that vote in 2004 and earlier elections
were stolen. The fact that few in Congress are complaining about fraud
is an indication of the totality to which both parties accept the
status quo of a money based elections system. Future elections in
the US will continue as an equal opportunity for both parties to
maintain a national democratic charade in which money counts more than
truth.
