Voter Fraud 2002:
Death Stalks America's Democracy


Compiled by Warren Gammel

Bush on the campaign trail in Missouri It's all here, perhaps providing too much to read in one day. I suggest that you get a cup of coffee and start out by reading Votescam. Votescam furnishes the blueprint upon which everything else is essentially built. You may want to save this compilation for future reference and, possibly, to send it out to everyone!

It seems safe to say that any credibility imagined for the Midterm Elections is non-existent. There have been too many mistakes, too many malfunctions, too many missing documents, too many dirty tricks. Certainly the sudden abandonment of the Voter News Service exit polls suggests that actual polling results were so far out of alignment with the desired results that the media predictions had to be shut down.

"The concept is clear, simple, and it works. Computerized voting gives the power of selection, without fear of discovery, to whomever controls the computer"
-- James & Kenneth Collier, authors of VoteScam (1992)

"Hand counting is the gold standard against which we check machine counting efficiency."
--A Market Research Professor

"Those who cast the votes decide nothing; those who count the votes decide everything."
--Joseph Stalin

How VNS helped to rig Nov. 5 Election for GOP
http://pub103.ezboard.com/fsoldiervoicefrm61.showMessage?topicID=2.topic

Why did VNS bow out the morning of the election?
http://www.bartcop.com/vns2002.htm

Voter News Service Meltdown - Washington Post article
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A10472-2002Nov5.html

Voter News Service (VNS) is a top-secret private consortium owned by ABC News, The Associated Press, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News. Its current headquarters is in Brooklyn, New York. It's been around (under different names) since 1964. It's the only company whose exit poll results are used by the news media to announce the "projected" winners in races for the president, U.S. House and Senate, state governors, and select races. With the use of computerized vote counters and the news networks exclusive control over polling data in major elections, the gates to election fraud were wide open. Computerized voting machines have now made election fraud as easy as stealing candy from a baby... If VNS is helping to rig elections, why are they doing it? Generally speaking... I believe that the same people who can't rake in enough money, also can't get enough power. The news networks are owned lock, stock, and barrel by the richest corporations and individuals in the world. They certainly have an agenda. Their arrogance and disregard for the little guy is clear. They may think that we're not smart enough to pick the 'right' kind of leaders... right for them, that is. So they might try to do it for us. Voter News Service warrants an investigation. Its operations should be shut down regardless. It's in a perfect position to sabotage the election process. Let the counties count the vote and report it to the states. If it takes a day or two for the states to report the results... so be it. Democracy takes time.

VNS got into a lot of trouble for correctly calling Florida for Gore after exit polls showed him winning by a comfortable margin. After that 'debacle' they were forced to completely re-design their computer hardware and software. They were my client, and ran on a large IBM mainframe with legacy software. They were forced to get off the mainframe and on to a completely different hardware and software platform. Everything had to be built from scratch. Supposedly, they didn't have time to fully test the new environment thoroughly far enough ahead of this election cycle. Therefore, they chose to use this election to test the new environment, but not publicly release the results. Why does VNS think their "Gore wins" Florida 2000 projection was wrong? Bush guaranteed he would win Florida, even after VNS said he lost it. Why is nobody else suspicious?
