20. Unfortunately, electronic vote manipulation is a taboo subject in our country

Dec 2018

Here is a link to a 3 hour discussion titled, "Was the 2016 election rigged in favor of Trump?" It's long, but I wish everyone would see it. It contains a good deal of discussion on how our national corporate news media doesn't want to talk about the subject. The U.S. Congress has also been cowed into silence about it. Dennis Kucinich was one of the few members of Congress who dared to talk about it, and his House seat consequently disappeared.

One of the members of the panel in the video (Mark Crispin Miller or Bob Fritakis, I can't remember which one) talks about a discussion he had with John Kerry about the 2004 election. He says that Kerry ranted about how that election was stolen from him. But Kerry adamantly denies that he ever asserted cheating in the 2004 election.
