Truth to Power

Did they hack the vote in Ohio?

Sure looks that way:

The GOP’s Cyber Election Hit Squad

by Steven Rosenfeld and Bob Fitrakis

Did the most powerful Republicans in America have the computer capacity, software skills and electronic infrastructure in place on Election Night 2004 to tamper with the Ohio results to ensure George W. Bush’s re-election? The answer appears to be yes. There is more than ample documentation to show that on Election Night 2004, Ohio’s “official” Secretary of State website – which gave the world the presidential election results – was redirected from an Ohio government server to a group of servers that contain scores of Republican web sites, including the secret White House e-mail accounts that have emerged in the scandal surrounding Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’s firing of eight federal prosecutors.

Nothing to see here, you there, back to American Idol and the new baseball season. When we’re done stealing democracy, we’ll let ya know.

Remember, when you hear Rove and Gonzales et al blathering about “voter fraud” they don’t mean their own wide-spread voter disenfranchisement, electronic tampering and skewed polls- they mean “we don’t want democrats (ie blacks, minorities, etc) to vote”. Read Greg Palast on it.
