I'd like to hear what everyone here thinks about these things.

The first link is of a programmer testifying that a congressman of Florida asked him to make a program that would essentially rig the elections.

Second is for those who want background info on the guy who's testifying.

Third is an overview of the situation.

Fourth is an article on the woman in charge of the 2000 recount. She's incredibly ignorant and very biased towards Bush.

Discuss.

Because the media themselves did a manual recount which showed Bush won.

Perchance they aren't running it because it's BS? From this article (http://www.sptimes.com/2005/04/09/State/Blogs_spin_tale_of_co.shtml), (which shows, BTW, that it's not been ignored by the media as you claim) it appears the person making the allegations is simply a disgruntled former employee, with a history of making specious accusations (as well as a theft). That he was so late in making this particular allegation also makes it suspect.

Yeah, the second and third link explains the former employee part. He got fired because he blew the whistle on some sketchy shit the company was doing.

The problem is, this is way too late. If there was definite proof of fraud it should have been brought before the FEC in 2001 or 2002 at latest, not six years later. The election was certified as valid in 2000 and no one brought a case before anyone in the years between the two elections; even the 2004 elections had nothing in terms of fraud cases and no one did a thing about it; to make it even less convincing, this testimony about the software is two years old and nothing was done about it.

That leads me to doubt that there was any major wrongdoing in either election; if there is not enough evidence to bring the case before court, it's nothing more than partisan politics. There simply is no evidence to back up claims of election-affecting fraud; there were problems but these problems stemmed from both Republican and Democrat criminals trying to affect the vote...neither party was free of troublemakers.

Even so, Bush only has 2 years left. I'm pretty sure he's long since stopped caring about the elections or his approval ratings. Honestly, he's sunk to a level of incompetence that makes his actions in the elections irrelevant...we just want him out of there.

Becaus the crook can never steal as much as the liberal will give away.

We must keep fighting for the truth even after the Democrats win in 2008 - the fight is not about parties; it must be about the violation and abuse of the Constitution.

History, in time, will decide a bloodless coup via election fraud was what happened in 2000 in Florida.

Firstly: This argument seems entirely moot, especially since Bush's maximum term of office is already two-thirds up. This election has been put to bed for six years, and to dredge it up now as a tired old conversation starter will only bring about the vitriolic slinging of partisan mud that we've already seen in this thread.

Secondly: Was there tampering in Florida in 2000? It's possible, I guess, but I doubt it. Election fraud is simply too difficult in this country; there are far too many people hanging on the outcome of each and every vote for any level of fraud to be tolerated. Besides, everyone knows that the Republican Party is terrible at covering up their political malfeasances (see "Nixon, Richard, 1972-74").

Thirdly: The decision to hand the election over to the Supreme Court for a ruling was entirely inappropriate. Florida's electors, based on their own conscience, should have abstained from their Electoral College voting privileges because of the nightmarish voting circumstances in their state; in such a case, neither Gore nor Bush would have had a majority of the electoral vote. If I may quote the United States Constitution, a document that I happen to take rather seriously: "if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House [of Representatives] shall in like Manner chuse [choose] the President" (Article II, Section 1). The Republicans controlled the House at that time, so the Oval Office would have gone to Bush anyway, but still...involving SCOTUS was an egregious breach of protocol.

Finally: George W. Bush was simply the beneficiary of good luck (and Al Gore was in like manner the victim of bad luck). It just so happened that the U.S. Supreme Court got to decide the outcome of the 2000 Presidential election (sort of), and it just so happened that, at that time, the Supreme Court was comprised of five conservatives and four liberals. These justices (quite reasonably, in my opinion) voted for the candidate that would most likely advance similar agendas to their own; hence, President Bush and he-thinks-he's-President Gore. Had the situation been reversed, with five liberals and four conservatives, it might well have been President Gore, with the Republicans crying foul for the last six years. (And let's not forget that the real case the Supreme Court was debating was whether or not to end the recounts; had the Court allowed the recounts to continue, it's still entirely possible that Bush would have been found the winner.)

Case closed--literally.

The problem with so many of the charges of fraud is that under Florida law, the primary responsibility for the mechanisms of the election rest not with the state, but with the individual bipartisan county boards of elections. Not only did they administer the voting, but they also counted the ballots themselves, sometimes mechanically, sometimes by hand. To have done any election rigging, you'd have had to go through the boards of elections, and to have done that, it would have been nigh impossible.

The 2000 election was RIGGED, which throws doubt upon the veracity of the entire system.
Especially as the Republicans "won" again in 2004.
Which makes a Republican victory 100% certain even if there was a civil war 4 hours before the polls opened and all the Republicans had been killed in that prior 4 hours.
After all, the machines would be rigged to give a Republican victory even if there were no Republican votes.

The problem is though that most of the problems centered in three, heavily democratic counties. The ballots in question was designed by a democrat and approved by the elections board. The ballot was printed in the newspaper to show the voters what it is going to look like.

In reality, things were done by the book. The problem stems from people not actually reading the ballot and inproperly punched holes in said ballot as well.

Not to mention, we can look at how the recounts were done in those counties.

There are a whole slew of things that we can look at and the investigation time will be enormous and alot of money spent on something that is six years old.

I am so glad that some people are willing to come forward and expose the truth. The elections were rigged by a group of evil, conspiring, and downright mean republicans to put the first retarded president in office and the information shown here proves it.

He's an evil genius that set up a terrorist attack after rigging the election to divert attention away from the fraud and plunge us into a never ending war for oil. He sabotaged the economy, cut taxes so that all the mega corporations he and his friends secretly control can profit off of our enslavement, and used a weather machine to cause the hurricanes last year.

He's an evil genius that set up a terrorist attack after rigging the election to divert attention away from the fraud and plunge us into a never ending war for oil. He sabotaged the economy, cut taxes so that all the mega corporations he and his friends secretly control can profit off of our enslavement, and used a weather machine to cause the hurricanes last year. How anyone can defend this idiot is beyond me.
I love good sarcasm. Let's see how many people you freak out with that one.

Of all the childish--the dems lost the 2000 and 2004 elections. Get over it! Stop making up a bunch of stupid conspiracy theories and try to do better in the 06 and 08 elections. Just because you lose a few doesn't mean the world is plotting around and against you.

It's not disenfranchisement if you incorrectly filled out your ballot. If you are too G-d damned stupid to fill out a ballot correctly, then you are too dumb to vote.


I believe he was referring to the hiring of Choicepoint to scrub tens of thousands of eligible voters (mainly black and democrat) from the voting lists.

What US liberal media? Where were they on reporting this, which was widely reported fact outside of the united states. what a fucking joke...

But hey... lets just ignore that little fact completely because it makes your party look bad. :rolleyes:

I'm not a democrat btw - just concerned at the lack of moral outrage coming from the right at such an obvious tragedy. I condemn all acts of vote fraud from all parties and noone should be let off the hook no matter where they fall in the political spectrum.
