    Check this out.

    Why is Mitt Romney so confident?

    "In states where the winner will be decided by less than 10%, of the vote he already knows he will win. This is no tinfoil hat conspiracy. It’s a math problem. And mathematics showed changes in actual raw voting data that had no statistical correlation other than programmable computer fraud. This computer fraud resulted in votes being flipped from Democrat to Republican in every federal, senatorial, congressional and gubernatorial election since 2008 (thus far) and in the 2012 primary contests from other Republicans to Mitt Romney.

    This goes well beyond Romney’s investment control in voting machine maker Hart Intercivic and Diebold’s close ties to George W. Bush. Indeed all five voting machine companies have very strong GOP fundraising ties, yet executives (including the candidate’s son Tagg Romney) there is no conflict between massively supporting one party financially whilst controlling the machines that record and count the votes."

    Oh no, now the cat is out of the bag they will have to find yet another way to make sure the correct choice from 2 evils gets elected.

    Has this story been confirmed anywhere else?

    Even if this is proved true, it is not that big a deal for politicians/corperations.
    The highest bidders can quite easily choose to financially support two candidates for any election and let the voters choose which one will screw them over.

    This election fraud thing, to me, is more of a distraction from the fact it doesnt matter which candidate wins.

    They are all taking backhanders.No other realistic way to get nominated these days.

    On that note who decides which persons will be candidates?
    Is there a limit on how many and who?


    ps this i found interesting also.
    Indeed the only way to 100% verify this election fraud would be through handcounts of ballots by precinct, matching those results to the reported totals. But as was mentioned earlier, a group in Pima County has been trying unsuccessfully to get access to ballots to conduct such a count for almost five years since anomalies first surfaced in voting machines in 2006.

    Is there a judge in Arizona likely to suddenly reverse past trends and allow access to conduct such a handcount of ballots 12 days before a national election? And if not, why not? Maybe someone needs to commission the Anonymous hacker group to re-level the playing field because the courts are not going to do it.

    final edit lol
    I think this is more serious a case for the smaller elections within states for non presidential elections.

    Haven't seen it anywhere else.

    Good article here that might explain why:

    It's a dirty business alright. You're not wrong in saying there's not much difference between the two parties there in a lot of respects.
    Though Romney is definitely the most dangerous imv.

    There is plenty of voter supression going on there at the moment from what i've read the last few weeks. By the Republicans.

    Also a lot of talk about the voting machines being rigged. Again by Republicans. Will stick something up on that later.

    Romney connections to voting machines:

    Voter supression by the likes of True the Vote:
    Tea party groups work to remove names from Ohio voter rolls
    Activists say they're challenging some names to ensure 'election integrity.' Others say it's an effort to suppress the votes of likely Obama supporters.

    CINCINNATI — Lori Monroe, a 40-year-old Democrat who lives in central Ohio, was startled a few weeks ago to open a letter that said a stranger was challenging her right to vote in the presidential election.
    Monroe, who was recovering from cancer surgery, called the local election board to protest. A local tea party leader was trying to strike Monroe from the voter rolls for a reason that made no sense: Her apartment building in Lancaster was listed as a commercial property.
    "I'm like, really? Seriously?" Monroe said. "I've lived here seven years, and now I'm getting challenged?"
    Monroe's is one of at least 2,100 names that tea party groups have sought to remove from Ohio's voter rosters.

    If they can get away with it, they'll do it.
