Is there any way we can prevent the theft of 2006?

[Rocknrule]

They have shown us in 2000, in 2004, and probably in 2002 that the law and fairness doesn't matter to them, since they claim to have God on their side. They steal elections in plain site and dare us to challenge them. Is there any way we can fight this and prevent them from stealing more power?

1. Yes. To win big. nt

11. I was thinking the same thing...if 75% of dems voted, game over

2. Excellent question.

[Copperred]

3. I doubt it...there was no material change.

Your vote don't count...just get used to it.


Indians are voting better than us...

4. If we go to vote, and stay there maybe

The cops would be annoyed, but if a precinct has 200 dems who showed up to vote, it would be hard to say that only 80 votes were cast....if there were 200 people standing there to refute their numbers :evilgrin:

Seriously,....the numbers that eventually turn up will the the ones they extract from the innerworkings of the e-voting machines, so it's anybody's guess..

Watch the poll numbers the few days befopre the elections.. If you see an uptick in republican numbers, it's there to "cover" a "narrow" victory ...for them....see Georgia '02..Ohio '04

Until we have recountable paper ballots with a "no vote" choice, we will never truly know who won any election

5. The machines won't

work without a power cord, will they? I'm just saying :shrug:

6. Absentee ballots

The Diebold machines don't count absentee ballots.

7. There IS a foolproof way.

I think we should not fool ourselves into thinking they will only win if they steal the election. We need to look at why we MAY not get enough votes. If we solve THOSE problems, we have a real chance at winning. If we don't--if we deny they exist--then we may handing over an election that doesn't need to be thrown away.

I'VE NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE WINNING AN ELECTION BY FOCUSING ON KEEPING THE 'OTHER' SIDE FROM 'STEALING' IT. THAT'S NO WINNING PLATFORM.

[kster]

8. Thats because we didn't know we had to

prevent the other side from stealing the election. Now we DO.

[carboncat]

9. I think EVERYONE needs to watch out for that.

We need a UNIFORMLY fair election system so that NOBODY can cheat.

10. Have you not looked at the poll numbers?

Of course they will only win if they steal the election. We are the majority. Polls continuously show that. Bush has a sub-30% approval rating for a reason. The general public is tired of the culture of corruption that is the Republican Party.

[carboncat]

12. No

DEMOCRATS and other non-Republicans are tired of a Republican Bush. We need to not make the mistake of misreading things because we WANT them to be true SO badly.

Besides, you know the polls are not a fair reflection; we do everything we can to 'DU' them, unfreep them, etc.!

[Radio_Guy]

13. Not talking about online polls

Real polls like Zogby. A random sample of people answer those polls, and do not lean heavily one way or the other. Those polls give a true snapshot of the pulse of America, and they show people are fed up with conservatives.

14. Just refuse to use ANY touchscreen machines

If they steer you to a Diebold or ES&S machine, demand a machine with a paper ballot. If they say they don't have one, demand one anyway.

Here in Dallas County, early voting is done on touchscreens, so I would recommend that people stay away from the polls during early voting and only vote on Election Day itself.
