Voting Machines Count Backwards in Okla.

57 Rural Counties Affected - Vote Fraud
Suspected
Rural Oklahoma Voting machines know how to count backwards.
(Oklahoma City) November 18, 2004 - Rural Oklahoma Voting machines know how to count backwards.
That looks like what the secretly programmed machines did for Sen.
Kerry in President Bush's easily won Presidential Election victory in
Oklahoma.
All 77 counties use the Optech Eagle voting machines and Tabulator's
made by ES&S, Sen Hagel's republican company.
The respectable, conservative "Tulsa World" newspaper reported Nov 3rd
that Kerry was winning in 57 of the states's rural counties., with 70%
of the vote counted. Turns out that the famous November 3rd report was
probably not supposed to be printed.
It represented the counting when the tabulating was about 70%
"complete," as they used to say in the old Soviet Unon.
The "official" State of Oklahoma Election Board vote totals released
later show Kerry not winning; but, losing in all the state's 77
counties, including the 57 rural counties. Yea, somebody really messed
up, big time, and published a partially completed and, I guess you
would haver to call it, "fixed" vote.
A simple comparison of total votes for Kerry between the staid
establishment mouthpiece, the "Tulsa World" newspaper and the so-called
"official" final vote totals at the State Election Board show fewer
votes for Kerry in 57 counties than the "Tulsa World" does.
Fifty-seven of the 57 counties clearly demonstrate that Sen Kerry lost
37,982 votes to the ES&S Optech Machines. During the same time
period President Bush gained a whooping 393,825 votes.
Nice, slick, easy way to win an election. As a man once said "He stole
it fair and square!"
In other words, Kerry lost votes already cast by voters. The voting
machines counted backwards. What could be simpler than that?
Who programs these things, eh? Why, ES&S Corp., of course.
It turns out the every vote in the state, all 1.4 Million of them cast,
were counted on the same type of flawed machine, programmed originally
by the Hagel's ES&S company.
Whether they knew the difference or not is not known; but, spokesmen
for the State Election Board would only say the Machines and Tabulators
were fron Optech. They breathed not a word anout ES&S.
Who really won? Well, nobody really knows! Most people in Oklahoma
still think President Bush won his Presidential election. Wrong! Time
for a re-count, this time by hand!
Not that Oklahoma's very few Electoral Votes make much difference in
the grand scheme of things. Except, of course, fraud is suspected in
Ohio, too. A recount is already guaranteed in Ohio. What will Oklahoma
officials do?
"Film at 11." Fat chance!
People in the Great Flyover State of Oklahoma all know that the
Professional Hairdo Anchors in the Oklahoma TV stations and the Radio
Celebrities will not touch this with a 30 Foot Pole since their right
wing owners keep them on a real short leash.
But, the money is good and the living is easy in Oklahoma, where "The
Oklahoma Observer" says 20% of the people can't even read. This makes
TV and radio even more important.
If these small state celebrities are reading this, and you know they
are, then these parasites know the truth. I dare you, Kelley! Go for
it! Get a life, dude! (Kelly Ogle is a local TV personality in Oklahoma
City who specializes in "happy talk" transitions.)
Watch for more election 2004 reports here as I get to them. Please
circulate and distribute IMC this report widely. You know that none of
us can depend on the so-called dominant press to do so in the great
state of Oklahoma or the USA anymore.
Meantime, I reminded of the Salsa ad for some company. When informed
that somebody had bought Salsa from a company in New York City, an ole
boy hollers off screen "Get a rope!"
By the way, what are YOU going to do about this situation?

Our Voice is at stake.
Our Democracy is at stake!
We The People Demand an investigation!
This is unacceptable. Why is it not on the Front page of every Oklahoma
newspaper!?!

We're being expected to believe our neighbors are
idiots and fanatics who would rather hate gays than have healthcare or
social security.
This nation didn't vote for George Bush. The Republican-owned voting
machines voted for George Bush.
And George Bush has the criminal hypocrisy to claim the elections in
the Ukraine were fixed? Look at the patriotism of the Supreme Court of
the Ukraine. It shames ours. Look at the patriotism of the people of
the Ukraine who value their vote so much they are standing up for it.
We are shamed by the people of the Ukraine who know how precious
democracy is.
We do not know the true outcome of a single election this year. We do
not know who our real senators or congressmen are. We don't know what
propositions were truly approved.
The United States is no longer a democracy.

I purchased a pass at Tulsa World and searched the
archives. I find nothing to substantiate your claim that Tulsa World
reported this on November 3rd.
Please provide a link, otherwise I will dismiss this as wishful
thinking.
Voting Machines Count Backwards?

I don't understand. Is there some kind of precinct by precint reporting breakdown, or is this more wild supposition. Sticking to facts would be so helpful in getting to the bottom of the voting machine problems. The problems are absolutely there, but wild claims with no evidence to back them up do not help.

We can't know what to believe is another way of saying we have no BASIS for confidence in the legitimacy of the results reported from US elections.

Just look at the very first county in the links
provided by "buterfly" to see an example of the problem; Kerry had 3704
votes in Adair with 70% of the vote counted (according to the local
paper), but only 2560 votes after they were all counted (according to
CNN).
This should not be possible.
