 | "Black Box Voting has taken the position that fraud took place in
the 2004 election through electronic voting machines. We base
this on hard evidence, documents obtained in public records
requests, inside information, and other data indicative of
manipulation of electronic voting systems. What we do not know is
the specific scope of the fraud. We are working now to compile the
proof, based not on soft evidence -- red flags, exit polls -- but
core documents obtained by Black Box Voting in the most massive
Freedom of Information action in history.
We need: Lawyers to enforce public records laws. Some
counties have already notified us that they plan to stonewall by
delaying delivery of the records. We need citizen volunteers for
a number of specific actions. We need computer security professionals
willing to GO PUBLIC with formal opinions on the evidence we
provide, whether or not it involves DMCA complications. We need
funds to pay for copies of the evidence."

"If you want to kill an idea, call it a conspiracy theory.
This is exactly what is happening to perfectly legitimate
concerns about the 2004 Presidential election. If you
suggest, based on any number of facts, that Bush (gasp!)
stole the election (again), you are a conspiracy theorist
of the worst sort; you are one of those people; you are a quack.
...When leaders in western-backed dictatorships want to
hold power while keeping at least a patina of democracy, they
hold elections. They don't fear defeat because they control
the outcome. Nothing here is any different. Bush and his
henchmen have hijacked American policy to serve their own
ends. In its first four years the administration did nothing
if not obfuscate, manipulate, lie, cheat and steal. It ignored
law; it ignored morality, and it certainly ignored democracy.
This ain't no democracy. In any other country on Earth
this would be called a dictatorship."

"In 2002, the Republican Party staged their test run of controlling
the new Diebold computerized paper-trail-free electronic voting
systems that were installed in every precinct in the State of
Georgia. It worked like a charm. Two popular Democratic incumbents,
the Gov. Roy Barnes and Sen. Max Cleland, were both defeated by
Republican challengers. The Democrats were both ahead by several
points in both the pre-election voter opinion polls and in the
election day exit polls, yet the Diebold voting machines declared
the two Republican challengers as winners. The local media claimed
to be amazed by this election upset. They should have been horrified
and outraged. These elections were stolen electronically. There was
no paper trail, no recount was possible and for good measure, Diebold
Corporation accidentally erased the disputed 2002 election returns
data from their computer hard disk drives a few days after the
election. How convenient, how clean, how slick and how crooked is
Republican election theft in the 21st century."
