Input: Abramoff money --> Output: Election fraud

Mother-of-all-election-fraud: In 2002 House Administration Chair Congressman Bob Ney of Ohio was a prime sponsor of the (sic) "Help America Vote Act" (HAVA). In fact, HAVA was actually written in Bob Ney's office. HAVA, under the guise of resolving the 2000 election fraud issues, was actually written to promote the distribution of computerized voting systems across the nation. The bill was designed to send $3.8 billion taxpayer dollars straight into the pockets of corporations like Diebold, whose voting equipment has now been unequivacolly proven to provide an open door to election rigging. Diebold, one of the prime lobbyists for HAVA, was at the time a client of Greenberg Traurig, Abramoff's firm.

I have compiled plenty of information on this issue, which I am ready to provide in order to get this story out. I have access to eye witnesses and players who were physically present and participating in Bob Ney's office when HAVA was written. As sexy as congressional scandal is, it pales in comparison to the real story behind the Abramoff affair: the theft of our democracy.

for the Republican Election Fraud team.

If your main hack was to pre-load votes, you're still vulnerable to a landslide by your opponent. And so every trick was pulled just to get Bush over the top - include the ham-fisted GEMS hack in Volusia country. When the latter was caught just before Gore's election night concession speech, a manual recount was ordered - a cheater's worst nightmare. James Baker was quickly sent and soon the recount was an under-votes only recount.

Still reeling from almost exposing a decade of election fraud that saw statehouses and the US Congress swing Republican, HAVA was born.

Some got voting papers that were already voted on. Bush's name was already filled in the hole and if someone didn't notice it and voted for Gore that vote didn't count.

Al Gore really did beat George W. Bush in 2000. Six years on, this is still a problem?
