Join me! Spread the usage of the correct term: ELECTION FRAUD

[New Earth]

My god, I know it sounds like a nuisance and I sound like a broken record. And while some disagree and think it's not that big of a deal, well, I think they are wrong.

I just visited yet another site that likes to refer to the issue as simply 'voter fraud'. Someone might as well have scraped a chalkboard with a car key while I was in the room.

Please please please, for those who do understand why this is important: correct people, blogs, websites, message boards, etc. when you see them use 'voter fraud' or 'vote fraud' as the BROAD term in covering the fraud in this election.

Of course, if someone is directly referring to a fraudulent voter, such as fake registrations, double voting, etc., then that is a different story.

But I am SICK SICK SICK of hearing people use these terms to refer to the issue in general. I just wrote to this site trying to get them to fix their page:

Hi. On your page here http://www.tvnewslies.org/html/election_2004.html you refer to the issue as 'voter fraud', when it should be 'election fraud'. Other than the very few cases where the fraud actually came from the voter, the large majority of the fraud came from voting machines, central tabulators, and touchscreens - where the MACHINES and VOTE MACHINE COMPANIES are the ones repsonsible for the fraud.

When one uses the term 'voter fraud' or 'vote fraud', it will cause a lot of readers to think the fraud is all the fault of the voters, and that is very misleading. When used as a general term - referring to the broad scale of fraud, I and others have been asking those who cover this issue to please use the more honest, broad term: ELECTION FRAUD. The election was fraudulent, not the voter.

Thank you, I hope you consider my feedback and change the information on your page.

Anyone who has time and gets possibly as frustrated as I do, please join me in this - and post what you find here so either I or someone else can write and correct them.

Yes, they are only words, but in situations like these, word usage means everything. I guess it is all about semantics, especially when speaking on an issue that requires the attention of every citizen and every voter in the country.

Thanks for listening to my rant, and please help if you can.
