OUTRAGE: Peter King (R-NY) hinting that vote count was fixed -- video

Thu Nov 04, 2004 at 02:20:50 PM PDT

Peter King, (R-NY) showing an eerie confidence in the election results, while exit polls had Republicans panicking on the Hill:

"We won....It's all over but the counting. And we'll take care of the counting."

My take is this:

Any official who supports paperless e-voting is an enemy of democracy, they have no excuse. Any company which attempts to foist this sham on election officials is criminal and vile, and should be financially driven into the pavement and it's directors jailed. Any election official who says a paper trail is unneccessary or impossible should be impeached immediately.

Either that official is incompetent, uninformed, and egregiously cavalier about the value of your vote -- or they are a parasitic disease upon the beating heart of democracy itself, with full knowledge and intent to kill their host and feed on it's remains.

For the sake of democracy, this must be stopped. This is VOTE-MURDER.
