"The system is rigged." - TTG

Corte Madera, CA – A major lawsuit is on the precipice of being filed by the Institute for American Democracy and Election Integrity, the implications of which could dramatically alter the landscape of the 2016 U.S. presidential race.

The group claims that in about eleven states, there has been noted a significant difference between the exit polls and the electronic vote totals presented on the morning after the primaries. These differences show votes appear to be shifted from Bernie Sanders to Hillary Clinton. The chances of this kind of shift happening are considered to be statistically impossible between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning in these eleven states.  See the chart below.

“We are going to be filing a racketeering lawsuit under the Ohio Racketeering law, the strongest in the country and we can bring in every state, our RICO statute is coextensive with the federal RICO statute… So they’re nailed,” said Cliff Arnebeck.

Arnebeck, an election lawyer, got his J.D. from Harvard and is the chair of the Legal Affairs Committee of Common Cause Ohio and a national co-chair and attorney for the Alliance of Democracy. He will be joined by Bob Fitrakis, an election lawyer and political science professor, as co-counsel.

Computer security expert Stephen Spoonamore, who worked with Arnebeck on exposing GOP election fraud in Ohio has noted that when exit poll data varies more than 2% from electronic vote totals, the electronic vote totals are questionable.

In fact, 2% is the boundary by the US government when determining whether an election in another country has possibly been stolen. Please notice the exit poll differences in the 2016 DNC primaries listed above are significantly more than 2%. These differences point to questionable results for the electronic vote totals and likely electronic vote switching. (The Free Thought Project.com)

This isn’t the rigged system that Crazy Bernie and Deadbeat Donald railed against. That’s the system established by private political parties to further their own interests while giving the appearance of democracy in action. They’re well within their rights to use computer modeling, ouija board and/or a smoke filled room to pick their nominees. All they have to do is sell it to the public as a legitimate process. This is about voting and vote counting using public voting procedures, machines and officials... and some possibly nefarious IT contractors.

The lawsuit is delayed in order to incorporate data from the 7 June California Democratic primary. I don’t know if they’re concerned about the Republican primary. These primaries use 100% paper ballots so the final count and certification will take a while. In light of a pending lawsuit, I’m curious if any significant discrepancies will be found.

This lawsuit may come to nothing, but it may also further taint the HRC juggernaut. If nothing else, it will further erode the public's trust in our whole election process. Drip. Drip. Drip.

If b's post on his blog is to be believed, the Russians have bombed explicitly U.S. supported and organized jihadists, had their planes "chased away" by American planes and when the American planes left come back and bombed the American Jihadists again.

If true, these are not the actions of a military who are particularly scared of the American forces in Syria. Nor is it possible to rule out a Russian strategy to make it politically possible in the United States to introduce American ground forces in Syria, thousands of them. When you stop to consider that, all told, the U.S. is currently spending a trillion dollars a year on "Defense" this is probably a winning strategy. It's even better than that. It may in fact be brilliant. The second foreign military adventure becomes the major issue confronting the electorate, the electorate will be able to see the stark contrast between Clinton and Trump.

On topic, there was wide divergence between exits and votes in Florida when GWB got elected.

They speak French in Quebec.

And the ballots have to be available in both English and French.

Nixon would have won the election in 1960 if the Outfit in Chicago, and Landslide Lyndon in Texas, hadn't stuffed sufficient ballots to win Illinois and Chicago.

The lawsuit that is contemplated is welcome news. It will be interesting to see what relief will be asked for when the paper is filed.

Germany outlawed electronic voting machines in a 2009 ruling from the Constitutional Court. The press release is here--

The Ohio State University Law School has a website that keeps up to date on election law and election lawsuits around the country, and is a good resource--

Time goes by very quickly. Back in 2004, when I began to complain about electronic voting machines and the federal Help America Vote Act [sic], I was asked by a man who was active in an organization that advocated for minority rights to look into it. The ethnic group was actually a majority of the population of San Antonio, but on some subject areas, they had a point. He then said they would like to go ahead with a lawsuit, so I worked up the document to file and would do it pro bono (for free). Then I was told that the County Commissioners, which is the governing group for the county, offered them some money "to educate" that community about the voting machines, and so they decided not to do a lawsuit after all.

Then before the 2008 general election, I did an editorial and submitted it to the San Antonio newspaper about the electronic voting machines. The person in charge of the editorial page that week accepted it and told me it would be published. She called me later to say that a person higher up at the newspaper had spiked it and ordered that it not be published, because it was "too controversial".

The Help American Vote Act (HAVA), Public Law 107-252, was signed into law by president Bush jr. in October 2002. That devious and diabolical piece of legislation tries to put electronic voting machines everywhere in every state.

If Donald Trump actually receives the Republican Party's nomination at its convention, his main opponents in the general election will be electronic voting machines and the tabulating computers.

I'm afraid the real problem here is that chart. Clinton's CNN exit poll numbers in Virginia were 57% of men (43% of the electorate), and 70% of women (57% of the electorate). Unless my math is off (possible), that gives her around 64.5% overall vs. the 62.2% reported by "Trust-vote," and right in line with next-day totals. On Georgia, the actual number is 72%, not 64.8%, again right in line with the result. The Alabama numbers are obviously inaccurate, since she exit-polled 73% of men and 80% of women, while the chart has her at 70.6%.

Babak Makkinejad,

A return to Legal Paper Ballots and hand counting of the Legal Paper Ballots would remove from existence the problems that were engineered into existence with the invention of digital fraud-based electronic voting and/or counting.

Would not a candidates name be the same in either language? (Ballot propositions would of course be a problem)
