Elections for high level officials are always rigged.

Members of congress are not elected, they are appointed.

The president is not elected, he is appointed.

Do some of you actually think that they count our votes fairly? Do you actually think that they let us decide who gets in there? You really think they are conducting this process fairly?

I must say if you blieve this, you must be very naive.

But considering how riled up everyone got about the elections. And considering the posts on this forum. It looks like a lot of people still think the election process is fair and legit. I cannot comprehend how someone could still believe that in this day and age.

When your state votes with mail-in ballots only, one can only conclude there will be a lot of corruption involved in that election.

When electronic voting machines came into play, it became easier to manipulate the actual votes. One can only conclude there will be a lot of corruption involved in that election.


A scary man once said:

It is not the citizens voting that determines an election. It is those counting the votes that decide who will be elected... Karl Marx

...
and you wonder what that has to do with the Communist party and Socialist parties, supporting the Democrat machine, who control the voting in Progressive states.

The politicians know the system inside and out and they have 100% control over the system. They can manipulate numbers in any way they want, even after it's all counted.

Our "Democracy" is an illusion.

Absolutely astounding that the Republic has come this far, and you finally bring this to our attention in 2010. Where have you been hiding all this time?

I've known this for a long time. Even before the new age voting machines.
