Watching The Vote

I’ve been keeping an eye on OurVoteLive.org all day, watching the voting problems roll in as expected.


OurVoteLive.org is a great website that provides real-time information on voter reports and problems. You can view statistics nationally, state-by-state, or county-by-county.

In the spirit of transparent democracy, all the code is open-source. The project was a collaborative effort by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Verified Voting Foundation, and the Election Protection Coalition. I really think if these groups were put in charge of elections from now on, we’d all be much better off. Imagine— an open-source voting machine that wasn’t routed through GOP servers and gave you a receipt! But of course that would make too much sense.

As of this posting, there are 8,827 problems nationwide.

453 of those from Ohio, including this story of voters mysteriously dropped from the poll books in Columbus and Cleveland:

Voters in Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) and Franklin County (Columbus) are reporting that:

  • after voting from same address for years, they suddenly have disappeared from the list at polls
  • they received a voter registration card/notice of registration and precinct, as recently as this fall — yet are not on the poll registry
  • they are on the statewide database (DB) but not on the poll registry

Same s—t, different year.

How people can still believe politicians when they say we’re spreading democracy abroad is beyond me. We can’t even tally our votes at home!

Anyway— stay vigilant, fellow citizens. Now is the time for accountability and documentation. If you or someone you know has experienced anything fishy, be sure to report it! Either call 866-OUR-VOTE or report it online here.

Would you like Socialism or Fascism? How about “None of the Above.”

Regardless of what happens tomorrow, you can’t say you weren’t warned. Wasn’t this post from September persuasive enough? How about this one? Or this one from June?

None of the above

Despite what your TV may say, there is no choice to make tomorrow.

It’s been systematically engineered so you will choose between two nearly identical candidates, and either way— Americans lose. Don’t believe me? See where they fall on the Nolan Chart political compass.

Would you like Big Government a la Socialism? Or Big Government a la Fascism?

McCain = Fascism:

A philosophy or system of government that is marked by stringent social and economic control, a strong, centralized government usually headed by a dictator, and often a policy of belligerent nationalism.

Obama = Socialism:

An economic, social and political doctrine which expresses the struggle for the equal distribution of wealth by eliminating private property and the exploitative ruling class.

I am not voting for Obama, nor am I voting for McCain.

They’re both part of the corporate-owned, two-party monopoly and both have globalist agendas that include less U.S. sovereignty (look up the NAU and CFR), they both want MORE war (McCain wants Iran, Obama and McCain want more Afghanistan), both have been silent on the imminent economic collapse headed our way, both are drooling for MORE spending and bigger government (we’re already $10 trillion in debt), and neither knows what the U.S. Constitution is about. McCain has voted in line with the U.S. Constitution only 36% of the time during this past Congressional session, Obama has upheld the Constitution a mere 11% of the time [see the JBS Freedom Index, Oct. 2008.]


“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again
and expecting different results.”
- Albert Einstein

It’s not a donkey vs. an elephant, blue states vs. red states, liberal vs. conservative, or rich vs. poor. It’s SOCIALISM vs. FASCISM.

Personally, I like living in a Constitutional Republic and I don’t want my nephews to be burdened with trillions of dollars of debt or drafted into an endless war.

As if my family wasn’t reason enough, tomorrow a friend of mine heads back to Iraq for the third time and I know neither McCain or Obama will bring her back home any time soon.

I will end with some good news — there are FOUR other candidates on the ballot in Ohio:

For those who would argue that any of these four would be a wasted vote, I invite you to read this article. Indeed, those that vote for more of the two-party status quo are the ones wasting their vote. Those that refuse to settle are the TRUE patriots.

Please think before you make your decision tomorrow. Walk outside the confines of the D vs. R walls, turn off your TVs, and ask yourself who will really uphold our country’s values of freedom and liberty?

Our founding fathers and mothers didn’t fight the American Revolution in order that we may vote for a lesser of two evils. It’s time to take a stand and restore our republic so our children may have a better future ahead of them.
