Are the elections in the United States Fair and Honest?

 Since 1964, right after John F. Kennedy was assassinated, vote tabulation for national elections has been handled not by the government, but by a private company lacking any official oversight at all.  This company, which changes its name on a regular basis, is currently called “Voters News Service” and is located in New York City. This company is owned by a consortium of TV networks and wire services. The TV networks will make a great show of being ‘first with the election results’, but in reality all of them rely on the numbers sent to them by Voters News Service, while seldom acknowledging its existence during election coverage.
 

This is the voting process most in use in America today. A voter punches a card in the voting booth. That card is run through a computer (Diebold) at the voting center, then that computer contacts computer at Voters News Service or the precinct official telephones the numbers the computer shows him to Voters News Service, which then announces the results via the networks.
 

Poll watchers are allowed to watch the voting booths, to guard against polling place electioneering, but in most precincts, the actual COUNTING of the ballots is CONCEALED from the public, and NOBODY is allowed to see inside the corporate owned voting machines, or review the computer software that counts the ballots. 70% of ALL votes in America are counted by machine, and NOBODY, not private citizen, not local ELECTION OFFICIAL, nobody, is allowed to examine how it all works. The accuracy tests conducted on the voting machines before and after the actual election are utterly WORTHLESSS, as they cannot detect fraud designed  to fool the accuracy test itself.

In 1988, when voting machines in Illinois were tested with tens of thousands of ballots instead of the few dozen normally used for the accuracy test, over ¼ of the machines which had passed the standard accuracy test were found to have mistabulated the larger test results!

While researching the book, ‘Votescam’, the Collier brothers actually managed to videotape members of the League of Women voters forging ballots, and found hard evidence that Shouptronics and Printomatic vote machines were rigged in the Dade County Elections. In the Shouptronics, the wheels of the mechanical counters were shaved to cause miscounts. In the Printomatic machines, a malfunction revealed that the paper tape with the voting results had been PRE-PRINTED before the voting even started! The Colliers, along with attorney Ellis Rubin, handed the evidence to the assistant State Attorney for Florida. Sadly, that assistant State Attorney was Janet Reno, who in a pattern we have all become too familiar with, killed the investigation.

Mandatory voter registration laws, such as “Motor Voter” have been a boon to election fraud, generating registered votes who don’t vote and whose names my be used to obtain absentee ballots.

In the 1996 Arizona Primary (the one that ended Pat Buchanon’s winning streak after NH), the Arizona legislature passed a special law forbidding a RECOUNT for that one primary election only! When the Miami Magazine ran a story on the Dade County Vote Fraud, the magazine was purchased just one month later by the editor of the Miami News, Sylvan Meyer, who ordered that no further stories on vote fraud be published.
 

Typical of the horror stories associated with the media-owned Voter News Service is what happened I Dubuque County Iowa during the 1996 Caucuses. The county’s 41 precincts met in 41 classrooms at two high schools and voted on old fashioned paper ballots, which were then counted in FULL VIEW of all present (including representatives of the candidates), and the results posted for all to see and verify. The vote totals were then phoned DIRECTLY into Voters News Service by the county chairman, again in full view of ALL participants that night. Buchanon won the county by a wide margin, garnering 870 votes. By next morning, Voters News Service had dropped Buchanon’s vote total for that county down to 757 votes, a 13% drop. Buchanon lost Iowa by a much smaller margin than 13%. The fact that an obviously fraudulent vote had made it all the way through the system to be reported on national television was ignored by the media.
 

The complicity by the law enforcement machinery of this nation is astounding. In one election in Boston, a judge declared 968 ballots which had been declared “blank” due to multiple punches to be valid, arbitrarily assigning the disputed votes to the incumbent candidate, thereby reversing his defeat.
 

All the voting machines used in the U.S. come from three companies. The Presidents of the two of them have been convicted of vote fraud and yet all state governments continue to do business (at very steep fees) with just these three companies. The largest of the three companies has direct access to 50% of the nation’s votes. NOBODY is allowed to inspect the machines, or WATCH as the vote total are accumulated and counted, and there is NO AUDIT trail anywhere along the path of the voting machine to Voter News Service, the private media-owned company that without any official oversight, tells us all what the election results are.  

So WHO chooses what government we live under? Those who CAST the votes, or as Stalin observed, those who COUNT them? Do WE THE PEOPLE pick those who will govern us, or does a privatized corporatocracy media conglomerate determine our fate without any PUBLIC oversight?
