2004 Voting Crimes

Tonight from 8 - 9 p.m. ET I'll be interviewing Mark Crispin Miller and he'll be taking your questions at http://www.thepeoplespeakradio.net

Mark Crispin Miller is professor of media studies at New York University and the author of the book: Fooled Again, How the Right Stole the 2004 Elections. He is known for his writing on American media and for his activism on behalf of democratic media reform. His books include Boxed In: The Culture of TV, Seeing Through Movies, and Mad Scientists, a study of war propaganda.

Miller writes in his book, Fooled Again, that the 2000 U.S. Presidential election and 2004 U.S. Presidential election were “stolen”. Miller presents extensive documentation, backed by 56 pages of notes, supporting his contention that the outcome of both elections was altered and controlled by a small minority. He states that the American voting populace can no longer assume that their votes will be accurately assessed, and that the installation of electronic voting machines in state after state is a fundamental flaw in the U.S. electoral system. He appeared in the 2004 documentary Orwell Rolls in His Grave, which focuses on the hidden mechanics of the media, its role as it should be and what it actually is, and how it shapes (to the point of almost controlling) U.S. politics.

Mark’s new book is: Loser Take All: Election Fraud and the Subversion of Democracy, 2000-2008.

A Buzzflash News Alert:

Washington, DC - Only days after RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman claimed that his party has a "zero-tolerance" policy against voter fraud, intimidation, and suppression, it has been reported that the Republican Party has spent more than $722,000 to defend a former Bush election official accused of conspiring to keep Democrats from voting. [Boston Globe, 8/11/05; Letter to the American Center for Voting Rights Legislative Fund from RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman, 8/9/05]

It's shades of Stolen Election 2000 all over again. Back in 2001 it was Inquisitor General AshKKKroft's Justice Dept. that found no wrong doing in Florida, months and months after the Bush Junta was first installed. Now we get the same shite in Stolen Election 2005. Only more blatant!, report says distribution of votings machines favored black voters because of lower turnout in the black community. Gee, wonder if that might have anything to do black voters having to wait in line for hour upon hour to exercise their franchise? Think perhaps thousands were discouraged from voting and left the long lines?

Justice Clears Ohio in Voting Booth Bias
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The Department of Justice says it found no evidence of discrimination in the distribution of voting machines in two Ohio counties in the 2004 presidential election. The department began investigating after voters complained of long voting lines and alleged discrimination in Franklin and Knox counties. Investigators wanted to determine if elections officials had intentionally skewed the placement of machines to favor Republicans. The Justice Department said, however, the distribution in Franklin County narrowly favored black voters.

Friends: 

I just got a call last night from a friend working for the DNC in New Mexico.   They have been getting complaint calls from people who have been  approached  by Republican operatives asking that they serve as "bouncers" at the polls to scare minorities away.  The people were approached, got very angry, and called the DNC to notify them what was occurring.
