2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)I believe this rigging is happening all over. IL - Chicago 56% down to 47% [View all]
In one example noted during video, 21 Bernie votes were erased and 49 Hillary votes added to audit tally in order to match machine count. In this one precinct, this change from the actual results accounted for nearly 20% of overall votes cast. The actual tally was 56.7% in Bernie's favor. After count was manipulated by machine he lost with 47.5% of vote. A whopping 18.4% swing.

"The observer lady was independent from the election organization who was running the 5% audit. She claims she and other observers should have been able to view everything but the election officials would hide counts, tallies and ballots from them. The officials were to use the machines and tally the votes by hand. She claims they witnessed these officials change their hand tally to match "expected" results. She claimed they may have been under pressure to ensure the results matched up.
This was a meeting of the board of elections. She was there as a member of the public and was allowed just 5 minutes to make a comment. The official in charge of the day rebuked her claims and she wasn't allowed to respond, but she did anyway. Watch the video, it's rather interesting (and infuriating). She handed in a bunch of affidavits from herself and other observers so hopefully that helps somehow. It'd be interesting to know if these are on the public record somewhere."

The required 5% audit discovered vote tabulation error so the audit results were changed.

I have heard of that happening on other places, because the staff know that they might

Why do you think I say we vote in pretend elections, with pretend votes?

Of course it is. The only ones unable to see it happening are Clinton supporters.

Progressives, if this is how the Democrats treat your votes, it's obvious they don't WANT your vote.

I can understand an undercounting when counting by hand, but an overcounting???

It's clear that votes were moved from the Sanders column to the Clinton column on election night.
