Here are the problems:
1) "Suicidal" people -- three dead investigative reporters; the last guy did it in December, and it took him TWO bullets to the back of the brain before he was successful. (Can you read the sarcasm?) Anyway, this guy had been receiving death threats, publicly stated he wasn't suicidal, sent his family away because of being in fear for his life, and when the police arrived (due to a note on the door found by some delivery guy), they immediately ruled it a murder -- but "someone else" decided it was a suicide. It is now being investigated as a murder, but only after the family raised bloody hell. You may have seen the story plastered everywhere on the news media -- except you didn't. (You can do a search on it in the DU archives; the links are there.)
2) More "suicidal" people -- a lot of this stuff has originated in Texas, and the people who started "leaking" it are terrified. Yes, they committed illegal acts, and one of the ways we know about it is they have been telling people (humorously enough, because someone in the chain got greedy, and didn't pay some of them the agreed upon amounts!). For them to come forward is literally to put them in peril of their lives. They will be IMMEDIATELY discredited, they will lose their livelihoods, and as a side benefit, THEY will be the ones convicted of election fraud, while the big fish swim away with "plausible deniability" -- please take a look at the techniques used to destroy the Dan Rather stuff for a basic "how to" workshop on "discrediting" the truth.
3) And MORE "dead people" -- Dieboldt vice president begins turning states evidence last year, and immediately dies in a mysterious plane crash. One newsman on all of television begins talking about voter fraud, and his boss's plane mysteriously crashes, killing his child. The owner of a computer company being investigated by the FBI for "fraud" in Flint, Michigan gets into a gun stand-off before he "commits suicide." Its one of the most amazing strings of "coincidences" that I am personally aware of!
4) Big Fish versus Little Fish -- "fixing" an election isn't brain surgery; the problem is that SOMEONE has to raise a fuss about it. If you get the programmers, that's fine -- of course, reality is the "problems" may simply be "glitches" as we have a tendency to copy our code, thus spreading the problems. Now, we have the public testimony of one programmer in Florida, but just because he says he did it doesn't mean anyone really cares, right? They just keep threatening to kill him, and they are hoping he will go away. In the meantime, you know all about him, right? So he's safe?
5) Who Cares? I can assure you that I was PERSONALLY told (after I authored the New Hampshire voter study) that "the Democrats would NEVER request a recount in a state they won" for fear of looking like idiots. If Nader hadn't stepped up, we wouldn't have gotten the information we did. You see, here is the final problem:
Its about MONEY. Despite the fact I have a copy of a $29.6 Million Dollar check from a credible source with supporting documentation that it was used to pay for fixing the election (with names), there is nothing I or the people who were involved with getting it can do. (Side Note: there are now LOTS of copies of this check, so, bad people don't have any need to come after me!) The check was obtained illegally; "plausible deniability" will immediately go into effect, and explaining to the public the extremely complicated money laundering that went into financing the fixing of the election will make all but the most savvy political wonk begin nodding off within moments. The folks who paid for the fixing did so with chump change; they were after bigger money -- a trillion dollars worth of Social Security money, plus the "lost billions" of Iraq, plus avoiding a few pesky problems like "jail time" -- what's $29.6 Million compared to that? And its not like anyone cares about destroying our democracy; most people are just glad the election is over, while half the damn country can't even be bothered to vote!
So, tell me, mtnsnake, just what do you want to do about this stuff? I'll be happy to fax the information I have to you, and hook you up with the educated folks. You can go hunt down the links I provided to you, and then, when you get tired of banging your head against the same walls the rest of us did, you can come back here, and I'll make some sympathetic "told you so" noises at you. The Republicans may be corrupt, but the Democrats are enabling them. You have to work hard to stay this stupid, especially when its your livelihood we're talking about. Here's the worst part: they already know about it, and they've figured out there's not much they can do, either, because the cameras aren't on them when they start talking about this stuff -- its a quick switch to the Michael Jackson trial....what do you mean Representative Conyers put a 114 page report on "irregularities in Ohio" into the Congressional record? Busy people don't have time to read that!!!
