Why we all must vote in November even if we are worried about fraud
Edited on Tue Sep-12-06 08:39 PM by DeBunk
If you don't vote you are insuring beyond any doubt that your vote will not be counted.

If you do vote and your district election is stolen, at least your vote will be their if we are able to get relief in the courts. If you did bother to vote and the courts side with us, your vote wont be there to count.

2. Good. If your vote is suppressed today there will be justice in the future
The pendulum will swing. We must make sure that we vote even though we don't have faith.

Because when the day comes for investigations your vote must be there to be investigated.

And, forget this crap about the voting boxes are untraceable. These machines have hard drives and memory chips and investigators can find whether or not they were hacked and possibly recover your votes.

Believe in justice, it wont let us down.

3. I pray you're right DeBunk

4. I have a friend who works for the SEC
They can read a hard drive even if it's been overwritten 10 or more times. They can read the layers of magnetic encoding. The strongest layers being the newest info and the weakest layers being the oldest.

My fear is a lot of dems are going to talk themselves out of voting.

12. We shall never surrender
No way, never.

Not to vote is to lie down and die.

Democrats won both World Wars, we put a man on the moon, and we damn well will not surrender.

15. Don't piss me off
If you don't vote, you're gonna piss me off.

I ain't spending all this damn time trying to make sure your vote is counted just to have you neglect to use your vote.

I don't trust the machines, but I am working the local dem office for the next two months, and it looks like I will have to bust some balls to get my county to audit the votes, and if yall don't vote I will have been wasting my time.

Don't piss me off.
