Michelle Bachman only up by 700 votes

Who was it who thought Soro’s Secretary of State project was ineffective? Our elections have not been verifiable for decades. Unfortunately, there is no way to demonstrate that this election bore any relation to how people voted. There is no audit trail without paper ballots, filled out and read by human beings. The courts have protected source code for voting and counting devices. People, those in power knew long ago, will behave like sheep as long as they are not the victims of lost freedoms, jobs, energy, money, etc. etc. Many of us have enough money, even as it is being devalued, to get by, for now. But our businesses don't have that cushion, and will continue to close as they cannot reach profitability, burdened at they are by having to support the only enterprise experiencing a net increase in jobs, Federal and State government agencies, including the lavish pensions of all retired union employees.

Government generates no income for a nation, and will eventually, as is happening here, suck it dry, having the power of the gun to extract the fruits of productivity.

This election only reflects what the parties, mostly the progressives running the Democrat party, thought they could plausibly get away with. There is absolutely no way to confirm any vote count. We can look at regions and try to guess why there were more votes cast than registered voters, as happened in Colorado. We can prognosticate about why single women magically moved toward Obama. But none of those data would stand the scrutiny of an honest statistician. The interfaces for adjusting reported tallies are probably fairly sophisticated by now. They, and who controls them, are what we are discussing, though most people don't realize that truth. There is no provably causal relationship to ballots. Until we have a government willing to require paper ballots, elections are to keep the people quiet while those in power execute their plans. Too many from both parties may owe their elections to a favor from those in control for Congress to force the issue. They have shown no interest. They are making too much money selling information, and afraid of the consequences should they betray their sponsors.

This is not an idle claim. Verifying millions of counts is not easy. Maintaining an auditable count, an “audit trail” is not easy, as this author can confirm, having designed systems to conform to the FDA’s requirement for audit trails for chemical analysis in the pharmaceutical industry. Our data could not be touched by humans, and was stored in redundant secure databases for which every access was recorded. Elections today are a palliative for those who aren't willing or capable of understanding the need for paper ballots and local precinct counts. This election was about trillions of dollars, the resurgence of the Caliphate, the conversion of a capitalist state to socialism, and would not be left to be decided by naive voters who tolerated being required to show ID when getting a flu shot or cashing a check, but allowed dead people and illegal aliens to vote. We don't respect the Constitution which once kept us free, and will soon learn about the price for that negligence.
