A Real Conspiracy: No Theory Here.

[BeFree]

Yes, it is about our modern election system.

First came the buckets of moola poured on the heads of a few computer companies, by congresscritter Tom Delay.

The buckets were made from HAVA, what one DUer has so correctly named:
Hack America's Vote Act.

What happened with that money is this: A few computer companies obtained a near monopoly on America's election systems.

Now that isn't really such a bad thing. The problem is that those companies are allowed to operate with complete secrecy. They were not required to show us the programming code used to count our votes. Nor were they required to allow a complete and judicious study of their product.

The certification process established to study the voting systems is controlled by the few companies and funded by the same, Tom Delay, Hack America's Vote Act.

But then, when one independent election official did a thorough check of his Dieblod supplied election system and found big problems, he was denied further service by every one of the election system vendors.

Not only have the HAVA funded companies conspired to deny service to this one honest, upstanding election official, they still won't allow us to look at their programming code.

That is just the tip of the Tom Delay induced Conspiracy to Hack America's Vote.

1. Something is fishy

when Repubs want to register more voters.

I remember how they screamed in protest over the Florida Motor Voter law allowing people to register to vote when they renewed their Driver's License or their vehicle tag.

2. More than a "near monopoly" when it comes to vote counting

they obtained, on the local county level, a total monopoly on vote counting information. It's all secret in every aspect. Nobody knows if it's correct or not, they just have their paid testing labs "certify" that it "works", but the data and results for that are secret, as well.
