Durch Heidi Stevenson | Sie konnten denken, daß Sie das Recht haben zu wählen. Sie konnten Ihre Stimmezählimpulse denken. Sie konnten denken, daß es ein Problem hier oder dort gibt, aber daß sie die Ausnahmen sind. Sie konnten denken, daß die 2000 Präsidentenwahl eine Abweichung war, in der die US Höchstes Gericht verletzte ethisches und umwirbt Präzedenzfälle, um den Wahlverlierer zu krönen und widersprach dem Willen der Leute. Sie konnten denken, daß es nicht ein fortwährendes Problem vielleicht sein kann.

Sie konnten sehr traurig verwechselt werden.

Wählende Rechte sind unter systematischem Angriff in den Vereinigten Staaten. Techniken schließen ein:

* Völliges disenfranchisement.

* Stimmeschaltung in den Wahlmaschinen.

* Ablehnung, zum der öffentlichkeit zu erlauben, zu sehen, wie Stimmen gezählt werden.

* Gebrauch von den Volksgerichten durch politische Parteien und Korporationen das Gesetz umstürzen.

* Gebrauch von Prozeßdrohungen durch große Korporationen gegen Bargeld-gegurtete lokale Regierungen, sie am Überprüfen zu verhindern Wählen Maschinen.

Jedes konnte nicht wie eine Hauptausgabe scheinen, aber zusammen genommen, ist es frei, daß es einen koordinierten Angriff auf amerikanischen Bürgern' Rechte zu wählen gibt.

Stimme-Leicht schlagen

Nagel ohne Kopf Friedman hat dem Problem für Jahre gefolgt, aber ihn wurde betäubt glättet, als er ihm geschah, als er in Los Angeles während der 3. Juni Kalifornien Wahl wählte:

„Recht vor meinen Augen, der Computer-gedruckte Stimmzettel produziert durch das wählende System, das ich benutzte, falsch ausgefüllte Luftblasen für vier von den Rennen wählte ich inch. Hatte ich nicht gewesen unglaublich wählte für, vorsichtig, nachdem der Stimmzettel ausgedruckt wurde, sorgfältig zu vergleichen was gedruckt wurde zu, was ich wirklich, würde ich nie gewußt haben, daß den Anwärtern meine Stimmen gegeben wurden, die ich wählte nicht für.“

Da Friedman fortfuhr zu unterstreichen, wenn er blind gewesen war, würde es keine Weise gegeben haben, zu wissen, daß seine Stimmen geändert wurden. Vierzig Prozent seiner Stimmen wurden leicht geschlagen. Wegen seines Vorsprungs wurde die Maschine, die er an gewählt hatte, unter Quarantäne gestellt. Niemand störten, den Rest der Maschinen an diesem Wahlplatz heraus zu überprüfen oder der anderer der gleichen Art.

Wähler-Einsperren

Gesetzmaßig Wähler wer wahrscheinlich sind, für das „falsche“ zu wählen, werden Anwärter gekennzeichnet und ausgeschlossen systematisch von den Wählerrollen. Different techniques are used, but one documented by reporter Greg Palast tells of one method.

Before the 2004 election, military personnel who came from predominantly black neighborhoods were targeted. The Republican National Committee sent them letters addressed “Do Not Forward”. Most, if not all, of the addressees were serving their country in foreign lands. Lists were drawn up of the names on the letters that had been returned as undeliverable. The lists were sent to the RNC. These soldiers had been “caged”.

Their voting registrations were challenged, based on the returned mail. Once their names had been removed from the voting rolls — without any attempts to locate and inform them — they lost the right to vote in the next election, whether they had returned home and gone to the polls or they had sent absentee ballots.

Through voter caging and other techniques, over half a million voters were disenfranchised during the 2004 election. The vast majority of those who were disenfranchised by caging were black military personnel.

Lack of Transparency in Vote Counting

In the recent June 3rd election in Monterey, California, two election observers were harassed and prevented from observing the process and the equipment used for tabulating votes. From the first, when they formally requested access, citing the California code that specifies the rules for observation — which quite clearly gives the right to check out all phases of the election, along with all computer and tabulating equipment — they were stonewalled.

In spite of the attempts to stop them, Valerie Lane and Brian Rothenberger were able to see obviously illegal activities and clear indications that it would be easy to tamper with the vote count. They were stalled, ordered to leave, and threatened with arrest.

The second article in this series will discuss the specifics of how Mr. Rothenberger and Ms. Lane were prevented from doing precisely what the law — and democracy — requires.

Lawsuit Threat

In New Jersey’s Union County, paper records of the number of voters in the recent primary election did not match the results produced by Sequoia Voting Systems’ machine printouts. Naturally, the County Clerk, Joanne Rajoppi, wanted the problem investigated. The Constitutional Officers Association of New Jersey, an organization of state sheriffs, county clerks, and other similar officials, concurred, calling for an independent review. They planned to have it done by a Princeton University computer scientist who has experience with voting machines.

It isn’t going to happen. Sequoia claims, without any proof, that the errors were the result of errors by poll workers — an interesting concept, considering it’s never happened before. Using double-speak without a hint of embarrassment, they say that they “welcome all such responsibly executed review activities.” How that can be done, though, they don’t say — but they aren’t going to let Union County do an investigation.

Sequoia threatened a lawsuit against Union County, claiming that an independent investigation would violate their licensing agreement. The county has no option but to capitulate. The cost of defending such a lawsuit is prohibitive for them.

Left in the balance are the voters who have been disenfranchised.

A Chilling Subversion of Our Democracy

The implications for American democracy are chilling. A concerted and systematic effort has been underway to prevent the will of the people from being heard. The very basis of the governance of our nation is at extreme risk.

Thomas Jefferson wrote: “Should things go wrong at any time, the people will set them to rights by the peaceable exercise of their elective rights.” He had faith in the people’s ability to make good decisions through voting. What would he think now, when that most basic of freedoms — the one at the heart of our society — is becoming a ghost, nothing more than the image of what it was meant to be?

Alexander Hamilton said that a republic’s right to vote “ought to stand foremost in the estimation of the law.” Now, the right to vote is becoming little more than a shadow cast behind the actions of those who cast their votes into a void. Increasingly, it exists more in form than in substance.

Different techniques that have been used — and continue to be used — will be discussed in depth in upcoming articles. The only way to stop the theft of democracy is through awareness of what’s happening. If you know that you’re a potential target of vote theft, then you can protect both yourself and the future of the nation.
