"We'll Take Care Of The Counting"

An eerie prediction.

It's impossible to talk about this election unless you talk about the wide, strange discrepancy between exit polling and actual results, particularly in Ohio and Florida. This chart shows some interesting results, like counties with 88% identified Democrats voting overwhelmingly for Bush.

Black Box Voting is an extremely important beginning to uncovering the truth about this election. Diebold's electronic voting machine servers could be hacked by an MSWord file. The CEO of Diebold is on record as promising the President to deliver Ohio's electoral votes to him. Open source is the only way to go for the future; it's the only way everyone can be assured of an election's veracity.

This is the beginning of the movement we're going to build. It starts with the fundamental principle of "one person, one vote." There should be a massive push to federalize Presidential elections, give everyone a federal voting ID card, maintain a national database, and bring some standards and some sanity to the voting process. According to Geg Palast here and here, Kerry won. A reasonable person has to open themselves to the idea that this election was stolen (again), and that radical election reform is needed for the good of the democracy.
