Democratic Underground Forums - Voting in the USA: A Tale of Two Brothers
Democratic Underground Forums - Voting in the USA: A Tale of Two Brothers: "Voting Fraud in the USADid you know....
80% of all votes in America are counted by o�nly two companies: Diebold and ES&S.
There is no federal agency with regulatory authority or oversight of the U.S. voting machine industry.
The vice-president of Diebold and the president of ES&S are brothers.
The chairman and CEO of Diebold is a major Bush campaign organizer and donor who wrote in 2003 that he was 'committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year.'
35% of ES&S is owned by Republican Senator Chuck Hagel, who became Senator based o�n votes counted by ES&S machines.
Diebold's new touch screen voting machines have no paper trail of any votes. In other words, there is no way to verify that the data coming out of the machine is the same as what was legitimately put in by voters.
Diebold also makes ATMs, checkout scanners, and ticket machines, all of which log each transaction and can generate a paper trail.
Diebold is based in Ohio and supplies almost all the voting machines there.
None of the international election observers were allowed in the polls in Ohio.
30% of all U.S. votes are carried out o�n unverifiable touch screen voting machines.
Bush's Help America Vote Act of 2002 has as its goal to replace all machines with the new electronic touch screen systems.
Republican Senator Chuck Hagel owns 35% of ES&S and was caught lying about it
ES&S is the largest voting machine manufacturer in the U.S. and counts almost 60% of all U.S. votes.
Exit polls for the 2004 elections were accurate within 1% or less in areas where ballot machines were use"
Voter Theft 2004 Backstory, Part One
American Samizdat : Voter Theft 2004 Backstory, Part One: "How many Americans know that there was a bill in the House of Representives supported by a majority of congressman that would have required voting machines to leave a paper trail by 2004 (HR 2239: The Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act of 2003, written by Rush Holt, Dem from NJ) that even Republicans supported? But who stopped it? Tom DeLay--who's as partisan as they come, to put it mildy. DeLay was recently slapped with three ethics violations for bribery, gerrymandering and money-laundering--hardly the man to help the 2004 election be free and fair (not stolen by Bush)."
