If True, Can It Ever
Be Proven?

Something BIG is about to happen
"This is not conspiracy theory. This is not heresay. There
is evidence. There are witnesses. There are investigations
underway."
Dear Friends,
When actress Susan Sarandon appeared on the Bill Maher show
over the weekend, he asked her what is the biggest issue we
face as a nation.
Her reply was "voter fraud."
The usually knowledgeable Maher had no idea what she was
talking about. When he asked, she replied:
"Something BIG is about to happen."
What I'm about to tell you is going to be hard to swallow at
first. But if you're like most of us, once you start looking
at the evidence, you'll scrape yourself off the ceiling, put
your eyeballs back in their sockets, and you'll try to
figure out what to do.
So here it is.
The highest crime in the history of our country took place
on November 2nd. The evidence is now mounting (into a HUGE
mountain) that the election was stolen. There is already a
congressional investigation underway and a consumer
investigation (headed by Ralph Nader).
Electronic voting machines that were manufactured by
supporters of the Republican Party were used to alter the
will of the people.
The internet message boards and chat rooms are bursting with
talk about this. You can wait another couple days to hear
about it in the mainstream media, or you can read on. Just
remember where you heard it first.
I will outline the key points in this email and provide a
link with much more information at the bottom. More
information is coming out literally by the minute.
The election was stolen with not just one tactic, but with
several.
Key points
· "Black Box" Electronic Voting Machines: The key to it all
was the use of electronic voting machines, that produce no
paper trail. These were manufactured mainly by the two
companies ESS and Diebold. Both of these companies are big
supporters of the Republican Party. Walden O'Dell, the owner
of Diebold, said in a 2003 fundraising letter that he is
"committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to
the president next year." Similarly, Chuck Hagel, the owner
of ESS used his own machines to get elected to the United
States Senate in Nebraska. A bill was introduced in the
House and Senate to outlaw these machines and require a
paper printout of each vote so that they could be verified
and/or recounted. The bill was stalled by the Republican
Party, led by Senate Majority Leader Tom DeLay, and it was
not allowed to come to vote. Shortly after the November 2rd
election, countless stories of problems with the machines
began to surface. Many people tried to vote for Kerry and
said that when the final confirmation screen came up it said
they voted for Bush. In one precinct in Ohio, 4,258 votes
were given to Bush were there were only 638 registered
voters. Many more stories about the black box voting
machines, their problems, and the investigation into their
tampering are circulating.

is leading the way in the investigation to proving the
results were tampered with.
· Exit Polls: Exit polls were taken in every state. In those
states that had verifiable paper trails for their ballots,
the exit polls were virtually the same as the real results.
However, in the states where electronic voting machines were
used, the exit polls were mysteriously very different from
the final reported totals. You can view the exit poll data
directly yourself with the link at the bottom of this email.
· Unusual Results: In the areas where computers were used to
cast votes or tally them, some very strange results have
surfaced. Here is just one example. In Baker County,
Florida, there are 12,887 registered voters, 69.3% of them
regsitered Democrats and 24.3% of them Republicans. The vote
was only 2,180 for Kerry and 7,738 for Bush. Are we supposed
to believe that 5 out of every 7 registered Democrats voted
for Bush??? This pattern repeats itself in many Florida
counties. You can view all the raw data for every Florida
county at the link at the bottom of this email
· Shenanigans: In addition to the electronic voting
machines, there was widespread voter intimidation and
disenfranchisement on election day. In many democratic
areas, people waited hours to vote, while Republicans
"challenged" voters' rights to vote, forcing them to fill
out a provisional ballot instead of a real ballot. The
provisional ballots were not counted on election day and we
may never know how many of them there were, or what rules
will be used to qualify them. Flyers were sent to democratic
areas with an array of false information on them. People
were told their voting precinct had changed, that their
voter registration was not valid, or that they would go to
jail of they tried to vote. The list of shenanigans goes on
and on. You can see the some of the flyers that were sent
out and read about more of the shenanigans at the link at
the bottom of this email.
· Investigations: This is not conspiracy theory. This is not
heresay. There is evidence. There are witnesses. There are
investigations underway. Three Congressmen have sent a
letter to the General Accountability Office requesting
urgent action and an investigation. Ralph Nader is leading a
consumer investigation into voter fraud countrywide, and has
already filed an official challenge to the voting results in
New Hampshire. You can read the letter to the GAO and more
about Nader's efforts at the link below.
They will call us sore losers. They will have their lawyers
and computer experts too. They will refute the evidence. But
the truth is on our side and we will prevail.
Here is the link to the information, if you would like to
look into the details and become more aware of the biggest
story about to break.

What we need now is for the information to get out to more
people. The mainstream media will bury this until it's
shoved down their throat. So please forward this email to
your friends and family. If every person tells three other
people, everyone will know before the media decides to wake
up.
Peace,

Voting without auditing. (Are we insane?)
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON Nov 3 2004 -- Did the voting machines
trump exit polls? There’s a way to find out.
Black Box Voting (.ORG) is conducting the largest Freedom of
Information action in history. At 8:30 p.m. Election Night,
Black Box Voting blanketed the U.S. with the first in a
series of public records requests, to obtain internal
computer logs and other documents from 3,000 individual
counties and townships. Networks called the election before
anyone bothered to perform even the most rudimentary audit.
America: We have permission to say No to unaudited voting.
It is our right.
Among the first requests sent to counties (with all kinds of
voting systems -- optical scan, touch-screen, and punch
card) is a formal records request for internal audit logs,
polling place results slips, modem transmission logs, and
computer trouble slips.
An earlier FOIA is more sensitive, and has not been
disclosed here. We will notify you as soon as we can go
public with it.
Such a request filed in King County, Washington on Sept. 15,
following the primary election six weeks ago, uncovered an
internal audit log containing a three-hour deletion on
election night; “trouble slips” revealing suspicious modem
activity; and profound problems with security, including
accidental disclosure of critically sensitive remote access
information to poll workers, office personnel, and even, in
a shocking blunder, to Black Box Voting activists.
Black Box Voting is a nonpartisan, nonprofit consumer
protection group for elections. You may view the first
volley of public records requests here: Freedom of
Information requests here
Responses from public officials will be posted in the forum,
is organized by state and county, so that any news
organization or citizens group has access to the
information. Black Box Voting will assist in analysis, by
providing expertise in evaluating the records. Watch for the
records online; Black Box Voting will be posting the results
as they come in. And by the way, these are not free. The
more donations we get, the more FOIAs we are empowered to
do. Time's a'wasting.
We look forward to seeing you participate in this process.
Join us in evaluating the previously undisclosed inside
information about how our voting system works.
Play a part in reclaiming transparency. It’s the only way.
