Reply #126: theft of the election

[Paul95]

That's EXACTLY what they're preparing for:

• Part of what they're doing now is overt: Disenfranchisement by nullification of voter registrations, which, amazingly, is actually being covered (a little) in the corporate media.*
  
• Part of what they will do in November will also be overt: Too few voting machines in heavily Democratic areas, "ran out of ballots," and so on.
  
• Part of what they've already done will culminate in covert disenfranchisement via vote switching within the vote tabulation machines, which btw use proprietary code so it cannot be inspected by a court of law.
  

* I have finally, finally, figured out the main tactics used by Karl Rove:

1. Using any means possible, attack the spot where your opponent has the greatest advantage over your own candidate.
   

   Example from 2004: Destroy Kerry's reputation as Vietnam war hero to immunize Bush, who went AWOL during Vietnam.
   
   
   

2. After deciding on a means to an end, project it onto your opponent's campaign. That is, find a way to attack your opponent for doing exactly what you are doing or have decided to do. The purpose is to immunize your own (Republican) campaign.
   

   Example from 2008: Paint ACORN as perpetrating "voter fraud" (and attempt to associate ACORN with Obama's campaign), while conducting election fraud on a massive scale nationwide.
