Landslide With Just One Solution:
When the Corporate Media expresses nervousness regarding the security of "The
Vote", then it's a pretty good indication that the Ruling Class is feeling
threatened. But if their fear is regarding whether someone else has figured a
way of "over fixing" election outcomes, they are on the wrong trail. They
would be better served to worry that their carefully controlled election
process is about to collapse under the weight of angry Americans.
Even as they struggle to hold the lid down on a boiling pot of dissatisfaction,
their days are numbered. But for most of us, the question should be, what will
replace this long established Ruling Class, when it's day in the Sun is ended.

Distrust of 2016's Hackable Election Is a Media Landslide With Just
One
Solution: Hand-Counted Paper Ballots
By Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman, Reader Supported News

Finally, the major for-profit media is approaching consensus that
it's easy to hack U.S. political elections. Even candidates Hillary
Clinton and Donald Trump are raising unprecedented doubts - from very
different directions - about the reliability of the upcoming vote
count.
Ultimately, there is just one solution: universal hand-counted paper
ballots, with carefully protected voter registration rolls, and a
transparent chain of custody.
The corporate media and the Democrats are obsessed with the "Russians."
Donald Trump rants about a mythological army of voters voting multiple
times.
But the real threat to our election system comes from private
for-profit corporations that register voters, control voter databases,
then count and report the vote with secret proprietary software and
zero transparency, accountability, or recourse.
After ignoring or attacking the reportage since Florida 2000 of Bev
Harris, Greg Palast, freepress.org and numerous others, the corporate
media seems finally to be getting the message: under the current
system, any American election - even the one for president - can be
stripped and flipped by a tiny handful of electronic hackers working
anywhere from the Kremlin to a party HQ to a state governor's office to a
teenager's garage.
Here is some of what the mainstream media is finally admitting. In an
article posted on July 28, 2016, NBC News pointed out that our
elections are vulnerable to hacking because they "are not part of the
vast 'critical infrastructure protection' safety net set up by the
Department of Homeland Security."
CBS News wrote August 10, 2016, about "the hackers at Symantec
Security Response" who demonstrated how "Election Day results could be
manipulated by an affordable device you can find online."
Former national coordinator for counter-terrorism Richard Clarke,
reporting for ABC News on August 19, 2016, analyzed the particular
security problems related to battleground states like Ohio and
Florida: "In 2000 and 2004, there were only a handful of battleground
states that determined which presidential candidate had enough
Electoral College votes to win. A slight alteration of the vote in
some swing precincts in swing states might not raise suspicion. Smart
malware can be programmed to switch only a small percentage of votes
from what the voters intended. That may be all that is needed, and
that malware can also be programmed to erase itself after it does its
job, so there might be no trace it ever happened." Clarke was on the
White House National Security Council during both Bill Clinton's and George
W. Bush's administrations.
Zeynep Tufekci, an associate professor at the North Carolina School of
Information and Library Science, in his August 12, 2016 New York Times
op-ed "The Election Won't Be Rigged but It Could Be Hacked," wrote:
"The mere existence of this discussion is cause for alarm. The United
States needs to return, as soon as possible, to a paper-based,
auditable voting system in all jurisdictions that still use
electronic-only, unverifiable voting machines."
On August 30, 2016, the Washington Post wrote: "Deleting or altering
data on voter rolls could cause mayhem on Election Day
disenfranchising some voters.
Many voting machines themselves also are vulnerable, especially
touch-screen systems that do not create a paper record as a guard
against fraud or manipulation." The Post also supplied a list of the
15 states with the most vulnerable voting systems.
The list of those now admitting the obvious includes the Boston Globe,
The Atlantic, USA Today, The Guardian, Mother Jones, and Politico,
some of which have previously mocked those of us reporting on this
issue. Most important has been the highly influential The Hill, which
weighed in on May 2, 2016 with "Election fraud feared as hackers
target voter records." The lede was
straightforward: "A series of data breaches overseas are spurring
concerns that hackers could manipulate elections in the United States."
Trump advisor Roger Stone wrote a column in The Hill with the headline:
"Can
the 2016 Elections Be Rigged? You Bet." He also referred to our latest
summary volume, "The Strip & Flip Selection of 2016: Five Jim Crows &
Electronic Election Theft," as "a must-read book on the strip and flip
techniques used to rig these machines."
But in the 2016 primary election, there are other must-reads as well.
Perhaps the most important is Election Justice USA's report entitled
"Democracy Lost: A Report on the Fatally Flawed 2016 Democratic Primaries."
This report cites six major areas of election irregularities in this
year's
26 primary elections:
1. Targeting voter suppression
2. Registration tampering
3. Illegal voter purges
4. Exit poll discrepancies
5. Evidence for voting machine tampering
6. The security (or lack thereof) of various voting machines types.
In their 96-page report, Election Justice researchers documented how
Hillary Clinton's campaign benefited from these "various types of
fraud." Their
conclusion: "Based on this work, Election Justice USA has established
an upper estimate of 184 pledged delegates lost by Senator Bernie
Sanders as a consequence of specific irregularities and instances of fraud."
Election Justice's well-documented estimate that Sanders lost 184
delegates means that if the election had been conducted fairly, the
Senator from Vermont would now be the Democratic nominee.
Another document essential to understanding election irregularities
that allowed Hillary Clinton to capture the Democratic Party
nomination is a paper co-authored by Axel Geijsel of Tilburg
University in the Netherlands and Rodolfo Cortes Barragan of Stanford
University. Their analysis found that primary election results in
states with the most vulnerable and hackable voting machines and
without a paper trail overwhelmingly favored Hillary Clinton 65
percent to 35 percent. Sanders led Clinton 51 percent to
49 percent in states where the vote count could be verified with a
paper trail.
The correlation between the increased Clinton vote and the increased
vulnerability of the voting machines has been avoided like the plague
by the corporate media.
Equally important to read is mathematician Richard Charnin's blog.
Charnin is a man the mainstream media often attacks - but not with
mathematical formulas to rebut Charnin's detailed analysis. Rather
they attack him because, like the vast majority of Americans, he believes
that John F.
Kennedy was not killed by a lone gunman. In 2016, official Democratic
primary vote counts compared to exit poll results were significantly
outside the margin of error in 12 of 26 states. Charnin concluded that
the probability of those official vote tallies being correct are one
in 78 billion. There were no such discrepancies in this year's
Republican primaries.
Now 16 years after the theft of the presidency in Florida 2000, and a
dozen since it was done again in Ohio 2004, the corporate media are
approaching consensus that it is indeed very easy to strip millions of
legitimate citizens from the voting rolls, and then to hack electronic
voting machines and computerized central tabulators to flip the official
final outcome.
The threat to this year's election does not come from non-existent
armies of mythological hordes voting multiple times. It comes from the
private partisan companies with their secret proprietary software that
control the voter rolls, the electronic machines, and ultimately the
final outcome at all levels of government. The mega-corporations are
the ones that flipped George W. Bush into the White House and Hillary
Clinton into the Democratic nomination, not to mention manipulating
countless Senate, House, and state and local elections along the way.
For a hopelessly vulnerable electronic election system which is
flawed, hackable and riggable from top to bottom, there is just one solution:
transparent unhackable voter rolls, and universal hand-counted paper
ballots open to public scrutiny from the precinct level to the final
official tallies, as dutifully reported by our slowly awakening
corporate media.
