Let’s say that Ruby Freeman is 100% innocent and did nothing wrong.That doesn’t change the following information.On the night of the election in November 2000, CBS News aired a TV report called “Pipe burst in Georgia delays vote counting.”You can watch it here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C25DAAHZdEwAlso on the night of the election, ABC News tweeted: “The election department sent the ballot counters at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta home at 10:30 p.m., Regina Waller, the Fulton County public affairs manager for elections, tells ABC News.”Here’s that tweet:https://twitter.com/abcpolitics/status/1323846118208376834NEW: The election department sent the ballot counters at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta home...

Broward County, which has had trouble meeting its legal deadlines in the counting of ballots, has now brought in a consultant to speed up the recount: counting expert Count von Count. The Count wasted no time and immediately began counting as soon as he saw the ballots. He picked up one and said, "One vote for governor, eh eh eh." After that, he picked up a second ballot and said, "Two votes for governor, eh eh eh." Next, he picked up a third ballot and said, "Three votes for governor, eh eh eh." "Wow!" exclaimed Broward County official Stanley...

Voting machine provider Hart Intercivic will be counting the votes in various counties in the crucial swing states of Ohio and Colorado and elsewhere throughout the country come November 6 — even though it has extensive corporate ties to the Mitt Romney camp, and even though a study commissioned by the state of Ohio has labeled its voting system a “failure” when it comes to protecting the integrity of elections. Reports of Hart Intercivic’s ties to Romney first surfaced in late September, in ... an Ohio web site which reported that a key investor in Hart was HIG Capital, seven...

In January 2012 a [then] quiet deal was struck between SOE Software (then the leading US vote tabulation company. Scytl is said to be strongly linked to George Soros. The Obama syndicate members arranged the deal and Obama’s now wholly-owned rubber-stamp Congress agreed to it. That’s right. A foreign company may now, ostensibly and unconstitutionally, determine who wins US “elections.” Of extreme interest, Scytl’s CEO, Pere Valles, was the former VP and CFO of GlobalNet whose headquarters were based in Obama’s then base of operations Chicago. Although apparently scrubbed from Obama’s donor list (as so many negative and potentially negative-to-Obama...

History's most notorious Georgian-turned-Russian, the politically astute Joseph Stalin once remarked, "The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything." The lesson has not been lost on the increasingly notorious Hungarian-cum-American George Soros. A group backed by Soros is gearing up to steal the 2012 election for President Obama and congressional Democrats by installing left-wing Democrats as secretaries of state across the nation. From such posts, secretaries of state can help tilt the electoral playing field. This is, of course, the same Soros, the same hyperpolitical left-wing philanthropist who makes no secret of...

In amended counting today, Coleman gained 2 votes and is now up by 238 votes. 2 votes is not many - but I'd rather gain 2 votes than lose 2 votes. If there's an update later today, I'll let all of you know! Think Positive Thoughts! Cross Your Fingers! Pray! Hire a Shaman! Purchase an Al Franken Voodoo Doll!

One of the more clever country song titles I ever heard was If the Phone Don’t Ring, You’ll Know It’s Me.That’s something like the predicament of searchers after the menace of voter fraud, who can’t seem to find much of it. The New York Times today reports that “scant evidence” exists of a significant problem.Voter fraud is the idea that individuals might vote multiple times, in multiple jurisdictions, or despite not being qualified. This is distinct from election fraud, which is corruption of broader voting or vote-counting processes. While voter fraud (and/or voter error) certainly happens, it is apparently on...

WASHINGTON Nov 24, 2004 — The Government Accountability Office, responding to a request from Democratic lawmakers, will investigate the way votes were counted in the Nov. 2 election.

Friends - one thing bothers me a lot these days. In the 2000 elections we got TV and paper info about the vote counting, the 'hanging chad' issue, the 'post voting' issue, the 'Fla. vote issue' and so on and so forth. Now I hear that in many U.S. places electronic voting machines are in use just like in many Euro cities. And what do we hear now? That electronic voting might be rigged, because no receipt is issued. This paranoid idea is no doubt thought up by Democrats, who will stop complaining as soon as said shortcoming works in...

NEW YORK (AP) - With two weeks to go until Election Day, Voter News Service is testing its new exit polling and vote-counting system, while its members are cautiously crafting backup plans, mindful of problems they encountered two years ago. The latest test run over the weekend by VNS with its six media members — ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox and The Associated Press — made its executive director "cautiously optimistic." Still, the new system and fresh memories of botched calls on election night 2000 are likely to make news organizations more restrained in their pronouncements on Nov. 5. That...
