Mark Crispin Miller
lays out the case for the danger of wholesale vote fraud in the upcoming election at the Washington Spectator Online.
Not vote
r fraud, which is what Blackwell keeps claiming is the problem.
You should read the article, but here is a summary:
#1: The media line that the terrorism and the evangelicals won the election for Bush in 2004 just doesn't stand up to scrutiny. The 4 million votes Bush may have gotten from evangelicals doesn't equal the 11 million extra votes he got with 40% approval ratings.
#2: The terrorism/evangelical party line is essential cover for the massive election fraud that was used to keep the administration in power.
#3: With the Christian Right becoming more and more disillusioned with the current administration (Read
Tempting Faith. I'll have a review when I'm done with it) the only political cover for a Republican victory is terrorism.
#4: The party line, in the face of clear evidence of no Iraq/9-11 connection and increasing danger, is to "stay the course" and that victory is possible. This is necessary to allow the Republicans a plausible explanation for an election win on November 7.
#5: The pervasiveness of e-voting and the changes in the election law under the guise of preventing vote
r fraud will make an undetectable election fraud that much easier to commit.
#6: If that doesn't work, the Republican Party has shown itself willing to simply take an election brazenly and has been allowed to do so. "Duke" Cunningham's seat was filled by a special election, whose official results were contested due to incredible irregularities, not the least of which was that Republican pollworkers were told to take the voting machines to their houses for days and even weeks before the election, where undetectable changes could easily be made to the software. In the face of an official contesting of the election, the Republicans simply flew their candidate to Washington DC and swore him in - and then, in an amazing legal twist, casued that action to
invalidate the contesting of the election.
It's exactly equivalent to a NFL football team going into a hurry-up offense to prevent the opposing coach from having the time to throw the red flag to have a official's call reviewed.
#7: MOST IMPORTANT - The Democratic Party has shown itself to be entirely unwilling to take on the mantle of the protectors of our Democracy. This MUST be a grass roots effort.
