Groundbreaking New Book Documents Widespread Election Fraud By Jason Leopold
http://www.opednews.com/articles/genera_jason_le_080424_groundbreaking_new_b.htm





Earlier this month, at a conference in San Francisco, several renowned computer scientists warned that electronic voting machines remain vulnerable to computer hackers due to serious security flaws in the operating software, calling into question the integrity of a presidential election that is still seven months away, and all other elections in the U.S. where paper ballots have been replaced by these paperless electronic machines...There wasn't anything particularly new in the scientists' revelations other than the fact that the magazine PC World covered the issue as did several other mainstream news organizations.

Arguably, any mainstream coverage these days of election fraud, a topic of such national significance that it literally affects anyone who has ever cast a ballot, can be credited to a handful of hard core voting rights activists and muckraking citizen journalists who have made it their life's mission to overhaul the way people vote and restore much needed integrity to the process.

The scientists' warnings that this year's historic presidential election can be tinkered with came on the heels of the publication of a groundbreaking new book, "Loser Take All," a collection of eye-opening investigative reports into past issues of election fraud authored by voting rights experts, activists, and journalists, who used old-fashioned gumshoe reporting to expose the seedy side of the business of counting votes.

Unlike the reportage leading up the invasion of Iraq, which relied heavily on anonymous sources who spoon fed mainstream reporters wild tales of Iraq's vast weapons cache, lapped up by Pulitzer Prize winning journalists and printed as fact, the reports about stolen elections, the massive purge of minorities and poor people from voter rolls, in "Loser Take All" is backed up by smoking gun evidence in the form of documents and on the record accounts from public officials and behind-the-scenes executives employed by e-voting companies.

....MORE AT LINK...

“Loser Take All” is indeed an important historical document; a damning indictment of the electoral process that also tells the real story of how Bush was “elected” to a second term.

2. Sadly, books don't cut it any more.
Even the Best Sellers reach a relatively few number of people.

The power is in the blogs (as we've seen) which gets picked up by MSM, and in our contacting the MSM and our reps to the point of harassment.

It's encouraging that PC World and other mainstream news outlets covered this. I attribute that awareness to those voting reform activists - most likely hollering about this online.

I'm also encouraged that this book includes smoking gun evidence. Who do we need to read it to be able to get something DONE?

:rant:

Thanks for posting about this -- VERY important.

3. The Jason - 48 business hours - Leoplod? Spare us please.
DU has had enough problems lately with warring Clinton and Obama camps.
We've been around the Jason block too many times. Don't totally FU the site with this nonsense, please.
