I have consistently sounded the alarm on voting fraud in this forum, sometimes ridiculed for believing in "conspiracy theory."  I believe the voter's will was abused in the presidential elections of 2000 and 2004, as well as in many states in the 2002 midterm elections, which saw strange divergences from late polls and actual exit polls in states such as Georgia and Minnesota.

I have consistenly maintained that we can have the best poltical strategy that money can buy, have talented and charismatic candidates such as Paul Hackett, and still be deprived of victory due to election fraud.

For all those interested, the ties of Diebold and Sequoia, and Election Data Services, which manufacture the bulk of the voting machines used in elections in the USA, as well as manage the subsequent vote-couting, as well as administer voter-registration in most parts of the country, to the Republican Party are well documented.  See Bev Harri's site, blackboxvoting.com for supporting details.

Once again, problems with election fraud are surfacing to the detriment of the Democratic candidate, this time the mayoral cnadidate in the city of San Diego.

I am very angry at the leadership of the national Democratic Party, and big-time Democratic Senators and congressmen in Washington, for their failure to denounce this election fraud and alert the American public to its dire threat to American democracy.

With all of our hopes now for routing the Republicans in the 2006 midterms, remember, we had these same hopes in 2002 and 2004.  We had massive voter mobilization, and the polls and exit polls predicted and showed a Democratic victory.  But due to election fraud victory was denied our candidates.

With Republicans controlling all three branches of the national government, and all 3 branches of major states where election fraud was rampant such as Ohio and Florida, we need to stand up for democracy and demand that the voter's will is honored.  If we cannot get the people's will honored due to election fraud, we should then publicly state to the nation that the Democratic Party will urge its supporters to boycott all future elections because they are not being counted fairly and properly.

We should end the illusion that our votes count, and that we are living in a democracy.  The choice will then be left to the people as to how to remedy this situation.

Anyway, here is the link to the problems in San Diego:
