Donald Trump has said publicly that he fears the next election will be rigged. Based both on technical capability and recent history, Trumps concerns are not unfounded.
A recent study by Stanford University proved that Hillary Clintons campaign rigged the system to steal the nomination from Bernie Sanders.
What was done to Bernie Sanders in Wisconsin is stunning. Why would the Clintons not cheat again?
The issue here is both voter fraud, which is limited but does happen, and election theft through the manipulation of the computerized voting machines, particularly the DIEBOLD/PES voting machines in wide usage in most states.
POLITICO profiled a Princeton professor who has demonstrated how the electronic voting machines that are most widely used can be hacked in five minutes or less! Robert Fitrakis Professor of Political Science in the Social and Behavioral Sciences Department at Columbus State Community College has written a must-read book on the strip and flip technique sued to rig these machines. Professor Fitrakis is a Green Party activist.
A computer hacker showed CBS how to vote multiple times using a simple $15.00 electronic device.
To be very clear both parties have engaged in this skullduggery and it is the party in power in each state that has custody of the machines and control of their programing. This year, the results of machines in Pennsylvania, Virginia and Ohio, where Governor John Kasich controls the machines, must be matched with exit polls, for example.
Illinois is another obvious state where Trump has been running surprisingly strong, in what has become a Blue state. Does anyone trust Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a longtime Clinton hatchet man. not to monkey with the machines? I dont. He was using City funded Community groups to recruit anti-Trump protestors who posed such a threat to public safety the Trump Chicago event was canceled when the Secret Service couldnt guarantee his safety.
How do the pols of both parties do it? As easy as determining, on the basis of honest polling, who is going to win. Then, if it isnt your candidate, simply have the votes for the other guy be given to your guy and vice versa. You keep the total vote the same. This is where the strip and flip technique described by Professor Fitrakis comes in.
Maybe you dont need all the votes the other guy was going to get. If you have a plan in mind involving votes and their redistribution, you can find a programmer who can design the machine instructions to produce that outcome. Or you can hack the machine you are voting in with that $15 device that you can get at BEST BUY.
Europe has rejected electronic voting machines because they are untrustworthy. This is not a secret. The media continues a drum beat insisting voter fraud is non existent without ever addressing the more ominous question of manipulation of the voting machines. It keeps those in control in control.
Additionally some states still use machines that include no paper trail. The "evidence is destroyed. Floridas machines have no paper trail in Bush v. Gore.
In Europe, they use exit polling to determine who won and lost. The tabulated vote only serves as a formal verification. But that is done with paper ballots and hand counts under supervision, the way we used to do it.
Heres the recipe now:
(1) Publish a poll contrived to suggest the result you are going to bring about.
(2) Manipulate the machines to bring about precisely your desired outcome.
As someone with great sentimental attachment to the Republican Party, as I joined as the party of Goldwater, both parties have engaged in voting machine manipulation. Nowhere in the country has this been more true than Wisconsin, where there are strong indications that Scott Walker and the Reince Priebus machine rigged as many as five elections including the defeat of a Walker recall election.
Mathematician and voting statistic expert Richard Charnin has produced a compelling study by comparing polling to actual results and exit polls to make a compelling case for voting machine manipulation in the Badger state.
When the Trump vs. Cruz primary took place, the same pattern emerged again of a Marquette University poll showing a 20 point shift from Trump ahead by 10% to Trump behind by 10%, which was simply absurd. Shifts like that dont happen over brief intervals of time, absent a nuclear explosion. It didnt make any sense unless you knew what was going on was an instant replay of Walkers victories. The machine Priebus built was delivering for Cruz big time.
Today, the polling industry has been reported to be in a state of crisis because they are altering their samples to favor Hillary. The Reuters poll actually got busted for oversampling Democrats in order to inflate Hillarys lead. We even had the absurdity of a Gallup poll proclaiming that 51% of those who had heard Trumps speech were less likely to vote for him, which was endlessly repeated by the shills at MSNBC.
I predicted that Trump would lead in the polls after his highly successful convention (despite the media frenzy over the non-issue of a Melania Trump staffer plagiarizing a handful of words). In fact, post convention polling for the Trump effort by pollster Tony Fabrizio in key swing states was encouraging. Perhaps this is why the establishment elites have gone into over-drive to attack Trump.
Hillary hasnt exactly had smooth sailing. Julian Assange of Wikileaks said he had inconvertible proof that as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton armed Isis LINK. The IRS has opened an investigation to the Clinton Foundation and its many offshoots, and Hillary got caught lying about what FBI Director Comey did say about her.
But you will see less of Hillarys problems in the mainstream media, which has gone completely overboard in its relentless, even hysterical, efforts to lambaste Trump and promote her. Every remotely objective commentator has been stunned. Trump will, however, have an opportunity to drive these points home in the debates.
We are now living in a fake reality of constructed data and phony polls. The computerized voting machines can be hacked and rigged and after the experience of Bernie Sanders there is no reason to believe they wont be. Dont be taken in.
Stone is a former consultant to Donald Trump's Presidential campaign, a New York Times Bestselling Author and a veteran of nine Republican presidential campaigns from Nixon to Trump.....
Of course they’re going to rig it.
What’s going to stop them?
You’re dealing with an entrenched political class that believes anything it does is for the greater good.
Said class can justify anything.
We’re in REAL TROUBLE.
The pumped up polls are put in place to cover for the massive fraud in early absentee voting that Obama put in place in 2012 and Hillary will use as well. Republicans should have sued and made states open up their absentee votes for scrutiny. As long as they aren’t challenged, Democrats will continue to cheat.
Trump is asking for volunteers to observe. Voter fraud prevention. In places where concealed carry allowed. Those observers should be armed, for a variety of reasons.
We all know how Lyin’ Ryan on his primary, that snarky little POS.
“election theft through the manipulation of the computerized voting machines, particularly the DIEBOLD/PES voting machines in wide usage in most states. “
My big concern is that it will result in angry blowback which will not be peaceful.
This election has already been rigged.
That is why I see angry blowback coming.
I would hope that would be the case. We are in a fight for our lives, the lives of our children and grandchildren, and last but not least, our Nation. How we finish is how they and it will finish.
