NEW YORK - Bev Harris, the Blackbox lady, was apparently quoted in a number of venues during the day Monday as having written “I was tipped off by a person very high up in TV that the news has been locked down tight, and there will be no TV coverage of the real problems with voting on Nov. 2… My source said they’ve also been forbidden to talk about it even on their own time.”
I didn’t get the memo.
We were able to put together a reasonably solid 15 minutes or so on the voting irregularities in Florida and Ohio on Monday’s Countdown. There was some You-Are-There insight from the Cincinnati Enquirer reporter who had personally encountered the ‘lockdown’ during the vote count in Warren County, Ohio, a week ago, and a good deal of fairly contained comment from Representative John Conyers of Michigan, who now leads a small but growing group of Democratic congressmen who’ve written the General Accountability Office demanding an investigation of what we should gently call the Electronic Voting Angst. Conyers insisted he wasn’t trying to re-cast the election, but seemed mystified that in the 21st Century we could have advanced to a technological state in which voting - fine, flawed, or felonious - should leave no paper trail.

Just goes to show if they cant win the election, they will steal it. Please note that he is trying to wear down the votes to about 50,000.. which is the level that sKerry's henchmen said they would challenge.
Oh, would they GIVE IT UP already?
I don't know why everybody's upset. I say give Olbermann enough rope to hang his already anemic "career".
Talk to Dan Rather. He'll be sure to fax you a copy.
Yes...it makes perfect sense. The lack of coverage of the conspiracy is the very proof of its existence...
I love this.. The DUmmies are going to lose twice in this election.
They had there hopes up on Nov 2nd, crushed.
They are building there hopes up, and ALOT of them are absolutely convinced that this election will be overturned if they scream loud enough, crushed again!! :)
You lost guys, get over it.
Keep it up, Olberman, you moron. Let's HAVE a national discussion about voter fraud. I guarantee that you won't like where it leads.
Actually, if the Dems want to open the voter fraud can of worms I say let'em go for it.
I do not believe that Ohio was stolen however this black box voting thing is not good. It needs to be changed so that voters get a hard copy of their votes. It can be manipulated. I wish that instead of putting money into more high tech stuff we would revert back to just plain paper ballots that can be marked with an X with a stamp and permeate ink. They are just making this harder than it needs to be.
Afterall, PA with it's slimest margin among the 20+ EV states could easily be turned "red" with full counting of absentee ballots and elimination of fraudulent votes in the city of brotherly love.
Then there's Detroit...
It needs to be changed so that voters get a hard copy of their votes.

I think we all can agree with that. This is taking things a bit far, though. I wished msnbc is giving olbermann too much of a pass.
Hey Keith... The most lopsided "irregularities" are coming from the dem county of Cuyahoga.... That is why everyone is shutting up.
Perhaps Keith should get back to sports where his influence is greater.
Why wouldn't we get a paper receipt?
What is the reason for that?
What an outstanding source! [/sarcasm]

We should form a Congressional Committee to study voter fraud, especially in urban areas. This is a serious issue.
I just read the story. What a nutball.
I don't have the time to do it today, but I'm reasonably certain that a look at the 29 precincts with more voters than the voting population would reveal that they all voted Democrat.
She's a DUmmy cheerleader with an axe to grind, and her recent posts on DU clearly indicate she's out to cause doubt about the election from a partisan perspective. She should not be presented as an objective critic, because her DU posts show that she's not.
That's opposed to Prof. Avi Rubin of Johns Hopkins, who's much more objective (though critical) of e-voting. His position is that e-voting needs work, no doubt about it, but he sees no evidence of fraud in the election.
