I trust that by now you have heard that Anonymous claims that they prevented an attempt by Karl Rove to rig the vote counting in several swing states in the recent elections.  That may or may not be true.  The problem is that, since Anonymous is anonymous, anyone can claim to be anonymous.  While I recognize Rove\u2019s long history of attempts at election theft, I cannot accept the claims of unnamed people as absolute fact.  However, it it is true, it is imperative that we find out.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"21Rove\"…Then, during election night in 2012, it was suddenly Unger\u2019s story all over again\u2014almost. This time the Ohio, statewide, vote-tallying computers went down at 11:13 pm EST. That was thirteen minutes after voter analyst Karl Rove had begun to throw his 30-minute tantrum live on Fox News. Rove was angry that the Fox analysts had called the Ohio election in favor of President Obama at 11:00 pm EST. During his rant, Rove went into a detailed analysis about how that part of the yet uncounted voter\u201425%\u2014would throw the election to Romney. And then, bingo\u2014<\/p>\n

The Ohio computers went down in the middle of Rove\u2019s rant. But when they came back up there was no change in the vote<\/strong>. Obama still led. Rove looked even more perplexed. He then argued for another 15 minutes that Romney could still win Ohio. Finally, Rove conceded that perhaps Romney might lose the state.<\/p>\n

Then, two days after the 2012 election, Anonymous released another video. The hackers explained that they had inserted a firewall into Secretary of State Husted\u2019s software patch. That had stopped the Ohio election counters from using it.<\/strong> The hackers said that they had analyzed the patch and that it would have flip-flopped the vote in the same counties that Karl Rove, of Fox, had argued would eventually swing the Ohio election to Romney.<\/p>\n

Interesting, on election night, when the Ohio computers came back online, the vote tallying went on without the patch, and Obama won.<\/p>\n

This whole thing might mean that the patch should be subpoenaed into court and examined for its potential to rig an election\u2014especially since no one dared to complain that it did not work. And the counting kept on going, anyway, unquestioned. But that\u2019s not all.<\/p>\n

Anonymous claims that Mitt Romney\u2019s Orca program was a fake, also. It was not meant to be used as a get-out-the-vote program as stated by the Romney campaign<\/strong>. Rather, it was meant to be used to divert and flip flop the vote in two other states, Florida and Virginia. Like Ohio, both states have Republican Secretaries of state who resolve voting issues. Makes you wonder, right? But there is more\u2026<\/p>\n

…Yet, if you are a concerned voter, please contact the U.S. senators from your state<\/strong> at http:\/\/www.senate.gov\/general\/contact_information\/senators_cfm.cfm\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This egregious attempt at vote rigging by Karl Rove and the Romney campaign\u2014if true\u2014must not go unpunished. At the minimum, Ohio, Virginia, and Florida should be forced to have a ballot paper trail. This would allow for a verifiable recount if this same thing turns up in 2016. The current electronic voting systems in those states cannot be used to do a legitimate recount… [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

First, I encourage you to click through to the original article and read the whole thing.  I provided enough bits and pieces to give you the flavor, but there is much more there.<\/font><\/p>\n

Second, please contact your Senators and ask then to institute a full investigation to determine the validity of Anonymous\u2019 claim.  If true, we owe them thanks for saving this nation, and the guilty Republicans must be prosecuted.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
