Yes, there are votes cast and counted in September in Georgia. But, you see, we took the time to go to the elections officials and ASK them why. There's a simple and honest reason for these votes. We might not like the reason and we sure as hell have the right to question them. But we don't have the right to go out on the internet accusing elections officials of fraud, without doing the proper investigation. And, by golly, if we're gonna, we damned well better have clear, convincing evidence that it happened - not leaps of logic, not hysterical accusations, but vetted, defined proof.
So here's the truth:
Georgia allows elections officials to force an absentee vote on a DRE. If a Georgian goes into an election office during the 45 day absentee request period to ask for an absentee ballot, they are put in front of a DRE and told to cast their absentee ballot - right then, right there. It's the law in Georgia. It's allowed. It's LEGAL.
OK, so you think it's stupid. And I think it's stupid. Hell, I'll go further - I think it's dangerous (45 days to change/manipulate the votes!!!). But my OPINION doesn't matter because it's LEGAL. I can only make my OPINION matter by creating a team of like minded individuals to make a case to a Georgia legislator to change the law.
The last thing we should be doing is pissing off the elections officials. Folks, they hold the key to finding REAL FRAUD. They are the folks who know and understand the methods, manner and ability of these machines to defraud the voter. We need to make them ALLIES - not enemies.
I hope you can see from this diary why the "Bev Harris Method" does great harm to our efforts to stop these machines. But, if not, let me add a few more:
- Elections officials KNOW The Bev Harris Method and the moment you mention her name or her work, you are declared THE ENEMY.
- Elections officials and legislators KNOW Bev Harris and Black Box Voting aren't credible and by quoting her, they assume YOU ARE NOT CREDIBLE.
- Stop and THINK. Review the Kevin Shelley situation. Review the Ion Sanchez situation. Election officials who stand with Bev Harris are drummed out of the field. Ask yourself how and why that is.
- The Bev Harris Method first and foremost, relies on unwitting and uninformed people like Kevin Shelley, Ion Sanchez, Stephen Heller, Rob Behler and James Dunn to do the dirty work (and face criminal charges) while they skip on to the NEXT uninformed, unwitting victim.
- Diebold has gone after Kevin Shelley and Ion Sanchez for one reason - to send a message to elections officials. "Tell the truth about our machines and we'll insure you go to jail or get fired." And it's working. And Black Box Voting is helping them deliver that message.
- The Bev Harris Method = leaving victims in their wake. Don't be their next victim.
