Virginia's Elections Are UNCONSTITUTIONAL?!?!


by Mark Adams
February 12, 2008


Yes, Virginia, your elections are unconstitutional, and frankly, no one in power gives a damn! So what? It must not be that important if no one in power thinks that Virginia’s elections should be conducted as required by its Constitution. That’s just some old G** damned piece of paper, right? The law doesn’t matter any more, does it? Those people that wrote that old fashioned Constitution didn’t know any thing, did they?

Well, those quaint old concerns about the dangers of counting votes in secret are shared by most Americans, just not the ones who hold on to power right now. Many more will get a personal experience and learn why most are concerned about how our elections are conducted. A Zogby poll from August of 2006 shows that at that time, 61% had heard about problems with computers counting our votes and that 92% of Americans are intelligent enough to understand that counting votes in secret is dangerous. The other 8% must think that there is some benefit to them if they are thinking at all.

SNIP...Boy, just imagine if one of those Presidential candidates knew about this. They could take legal action to get rid of the very unpopular secret vote counting machines and restore our Constitutional right to make sure that our vote was counted accurately in public. Certainly, if they only knew, at least one of them would stand up for our right to overthrow our government through peaceful means at the ballot box on election day, wouldn’t one?

Well, no!?!?! They have all been informed, and not one has taken action. See http://www.projectvotecount.com/documents/Action_Letters.pdf

That’s right. They know that counting votes in secret is unconstitutional. They know that the public is worried about elections being stolen. This is why they routinely say that they will make sure that our votes are counted. Yeah, right? I believed that line of BS and sent money to support one candidate, but guess what, his campaign chairman told me that they had decided not to talk about problems with the election machines and that as a result, he didn’t tell the candidate that counting votes in secret is specifically prohibited by Virginia’s Constitution, South Carolina’s Constitution, and some United States Supreme Court decisions.
