Can the 2016 Election be Rigged? You Bet

Donald Trump
has said publicly that he fears the next election will be rigged. Based
both on technical capability and recent history, Trump’s concerns are
not unfounded.
A recent study by Stanford University proved that Hillary Clinton’s campaign rigged the system to steal the nomination from Bernie Sanders.
What was done to Bernie Sanders in Wisconsin is stunning.
Why would the Clintons not cheat again?
The
issue here is both voter fraud, which is limited but does happen, and
election theft through the manipulation of the computerized voting
machines, particularly the DIEBOLD/PES voting machines in wide usage in
most states.
POLITICO profiled a Princeton professor
— who has demonstrated how the electronic voting machines that are most
widely used can be hacked in five minutes or less! Robert Fitrakis
Professor of Political Science in the Social and Behavioral Sciences
Department at Columbus State Community College has written a must-read
book on the strip and flip technique sued to rig these machines.
Professor Fitrakis is a Green Party activist.
A computer hacker showed CBS how to vote multiple times using a simple $15.00 electronic device.
To
be very clear both parties have engaged in this skullduggery and it is
the party in power in each state that has custody of the machines and
control of their programing.
This year, the results of machines in
Pennsylvania, Virginia and Ohio, where Governor John Kasich controls the
machines, must be matched with exit polls, for example.
Illinois
is another obvious state where Trump has been running surprisingly
strong, in what has become a Blue state. Does anyone trust Mayor Rahm
Emanuel, a longtime Clinton hatchet man. not to monkey with the
machines? I don’t. He was using City funded Community groups to recruit
anti-Trump “protestors” who posed such a threat to public safety the
Trump Chicago event was canceled when the Secret Service couldn’t
guarantee his safety.
How do the pols of both parties do
it? As easy as determining, on the basis of honest polling, who is
going to win. Then, if it isn’t your candidate, simply have the votes
for the other guy be given to your guy and vice versa. You keep the
total vote the same. This is where the “strip and flip” technique
described by Professor Fitrakis comes in.
Maybe you
don’t need all the votes the other guy was going to get. If you have a
plan in mind involving votes and their redistribution, you can find a
programmer who can design the machine instructions to produce that
outcome. Or you can hack the machine you are voting in with that $15
device that you can get at BEST BUY.
Europe has rejected
electronic voting machines because they are untrustworthy. This is not a
secret. The media continues a drum beat insisting voter fraud is non
existent without ever addressing the more ominous question of
manipulation of the voting machines. It keeps those in control in
control.
Additionally some states still use machines
that include no paper trail. The "evidence” is destroyed. Florida’s
machines have no paper trail in Bush v. Gore.
In Europe,
they use exit polling to determine who won and lost. The tabulated vote
only serves as a formal verification. But that is done with paper
ballots and hand counts under supervision, the way we used to do it.
Here’s the recipe now:
(1) Publish a poll contrived to suggest the result you are going to bring about.
(2) Manipulate the machines to bring about precisely your desired outcome.
As
someone with great sentimental attachment to the Republican Party, as I
joined as the party of Goldwater, both parties have engaged in voting
machine manipulation. Nowhere in the country has this been more true
than Wisconsin, where there are strong indications that Scott Walker and
the Reince Priebus machine rigged as many as five elections including
the defeat of a Walker recall election.
Mathematician and voting statistic expert Richard Charnin has produced a compelling study
by comparing polling to actual results and exit polls to make a
compelling case for voting machine manipulation in the Badger state.
When
the Trump vs. Cruz primary took place, the same pattern emerged again
of a Marquette University poll showing a 20 point shift from Trump ahead
by 10% to Trump behind by 10%, which was simply absurd. Shifts like
that don’t happen over brief intervals of time, absent a nuclear
explosion. It didn’t make any sense — unless you knew what was going on
was an “instant replay” of Walker’s victories. The machine Priebus built
was delivering for Cruz big time.
Today, the polling industry
has been reported to be “in a state of crisis” because they are
altering their samples to favor Hillary. The Reuters poll actually got
busted for oversampling Democrats in order to inflate Hillary’s lead. We
even had the absurdity of a Gallup poll proclaiming that 51% of those
who had heard Trump’s speech were less likely to vote for him, which was
endlessly repeated by the shills at MSNBC.
I predicted
that Trump would lead in the polls after his highly successful
convention (despite the media frenzy over the non-issue of a Melania
Trump staffer plagiarizing a handful of words). In fact, post convention
polling for the Trump effort by pollster Tony Fabrizio in key swing
states was encouraging. Perhaps this is why the establishment elites
have gone into over-drive to attack Trump.
Hillary
hasn’t exactly had smooth sailing. Julian Assange of Wikileaks said he
had inconvertible proof that as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton armed
Isis LINK.
The IRS has opened an investigation to the Clinton
Foundation and it’s many offshoots, and Hillary got caught lying about
what FBI Director Comey did say about her.
But you
will see less of Hillary’s problems in the mainstream media, which has
gone completely overboard in its relentless, even hysterical, efforts to
lambaste Trump and promote her.
Every remotely objective commentator
has been stunned. Trump will, however, have an opportunity to drive
these points home in the debates.
We are now living in
a fake reality of constructed data and phony polls. The computerized
voting machines can be hacked and rigged and after the experience of
Bernie Sanders there is no reason to believe they won’t be. Don’t be
taken in.
