Claim: The GOP Hacked the Election and Still Lost

The Election Defense Alliance claims to have solid evidence that the recent mid-terms elections were hacked, and most likely were hacked in advance by insiders at the companies who produce the e-voting machines. The adjusted margin was around 4 percent toward the GOP, or 3 million votes. According to their experts, the hacking would have to have been an organized effort carried out around the beginning of October.

Maybe this explains why Karl Rove, Ken Mehlman, and others in the GOP "brain-trust" were so confident going into the elections that they would hold the House and the Senate.

Here is some of the story that ran Friday at Op-Ed News:
Results Skewed Nationwide In Favor of Republicans by 4 percent, 3 million votes

A major undercount of Democratic votes and an overcount of Republican votes in U.S. House and Senate races across the country is indicated by an analysis of national exit polling data, by the Election Defense Alliance (EDA), a national election integrity organization.

These findings have led EDA to issue an urgent call for further investigation into the 2006 election results and a moratorium on deployment of all electronic election equipment.

"We see evidence of pervasive fraud, but apparently calibrated to political conditions existing before recent developments shifted the political landscape," said attorney Jonathan Simon, co-founder of Election Defense Alliance, "so 'the fix' turned out not to be sufficient for the actual circumstances." Explained Simon, "When you set out to rig an election, you want to do just enough to win. The greater the shift from expectations, (from exit polling, pre-election polling, demographics) the greater the risk of exposure--of provoking investigation. What was plenty to win on October 1 fell short on November 7.

"The findings raise urgent questions about the electoral machinery and vote counting systems used in the United States," according to Sally Castleman, National Chair of EDA. "This is a nothing less than a national indictment of the vote counting process in the United States!"


"The numbers tell us there absolutely was hacking going on, just not enough to overcome the size of the actual turnout. The tide turned so much in the last few weeks before the eleciton. It looks for all the world that they'd already figured out the percentage they needed to rig, when the programming of the vote rigging software was distributed weeks before the election, and it wasn't enough," Castleman commented.
Read the rest.

If I were a true conservative, I'd be doing everything in my power to distance myself from the GOP.
