BBV: More dirt on Sequoia , Riverside Cnty , & Mischelle Townsend?

[Bushfire]

Something stinks in Riverside County, California, and it’s not the local dump. The nasty odor assailing the residents’ nostrils is the smell of rotten politics. But it’s Riverside, so why should you care? Well there’s just one reason. What’s happening in Riverside County is a snapshot of what’s happening all over the country, probably in your state. And this is a story best told by a young man named Jeremiah Akin.

Jeremiah is a decent young man. He’s a skilled computer programmer with a life and a home like most of us. Soft-spoken and thoughtful, he loves his country and decided to serve it by offering his services as an informed observer on the Riverside County Logic and Accuracy Observation Group. Jeremiah never thought he’d be the nemesis of anyone, especially the Riverside County Registrar of Voters. But without really trying, he became just that.

Jeremiah was asked by the Riverside County chair of the Peace and Freedom Party to attend a “logic and accuracy” test of the new Sequoia electronic voting machines purchased by Riverside County, California. This test is supposed to be performed on each and every electronic voting machine as a prerequisite to certification. At least that’s how it ought to be, but something far different happened in Riverside County.

One member from the Libertarian Party, one from the Republican Party, two from the Riverside County Grand Jury, one member of the League of Women Voters, along with Jeremiah, made up the Riverside County Logic and Accuracy Observation Group. “Their task was to review sample ballots, attend a presentation by Mischelle Townsend on electronic voting and polling sites. They were then to watch a test of a sample vote and verify its accuracy by signing a document,” said Jeremiah.

1. This does not surprise me one bit.. Remember last year

before I went to Tahiti..?/ I called to get an absentee ballot, and "commented" about the stolen election?? I was literally screamed at and hung up on..

Don't know who it was...but it was Riverside County ..our dear Mischelle's office :)


edit...I found the post

Like when Gore tried to steal the election

2. Has anybody ever talked to Jeremiah Akin from DU?

3. Ye shall know them by their fruits

He was belittling in the way he asked me why I didn’t agree with the statement on the form. At one point he even hissed at me because I wasn’t going to sign the form. I told him not to hiss at me, and he replied by saying “I’ll hiss at anyone I want!”

4. What REALLY pisses me off...

Is that a thread as important as this one is sinking like a stone with few replies.

When, come November 3, 2004, the election results start pouring in, we are going to see 40-something thousand DUers on here crying, whining, screaming, protesting...."our election was STOLEN again"!! and the collective shock and awe is apparent..... I'll remember how many times we tried to warn people, and to get them involved BEFORE it was too late.

When all of the other investigations are discontinued by the bush cabal....Plame, Israeli spy, WMD sales, Halliburton's collusion with the VP and Dept. of Defense....all of them will be swept under the rug, as we see all our children being drafted to fight more and more wars, and as we watch this country go bankrupt.

Well....I'll kick this anyway. Maybe before Nov. 2 we'll manage to catch the eye of enough people who will be willing to protest, and shut down the voting machines.

Yep...and maybe hell will freeze over.

6. is rigging elections a family value?

snip from link:

Ellen Theisen of VotersUnite.org reports, “If electronic equipment is used to record and count the votes for federal offices, there will be a questionable election. Lawsuits will abound in every key state, the delays will raise tension beyond the breaking point, millions of citizens will object to the final outcome, and the new President and Congress will not have the support of the country.”

“There is a solution: All votes for federal offices must be cast on paper and counted by hand. This will avert a national crisis in November. Nothing else will,” writes Ms. Theisen.

9. Ellen is great.

She has written some elegantly clear reports and letters on her site.

www.votersunite.org

Her solution is doable before the election. Paper. Period. For the two or three federal races (House of Reps, Senate if necessary, and President). Hand count, publically, in the precinct. Post and sign results at the precinct.

Transparency, audits all the way.

It's an emergency folks. Loud Sue, you are right.

Better to do something now, instead of whining later.

Now is the time to demand that good decent people get to run this country, instead of the cabal.

8. HOLY SHIT! We're f*cked! We've failed to eliminate these. Where are the

DEMS?? How can they not get this?? THIS is the WHOLE ENCHILADA!

[JohnOneillsMemory]

10. KICK these machines out of our elections NOW.

How were they EVER considered as valid technology for honest elections? It makes no sense at all.

Oh. Unless we live in a fascist nation of ignorance.

Well of course.
