I know that, when I talk about the 2004 election being stolen, my friend roll their eyes and say, “That Mark. Next, he’ll be wearing tin foil hats and talking with visiting aliens.”
But, as the MainStream Media begins to awaken from its six-year slumber, the first hints that this story is about to break are appearing in print (and not just on obsessive left-wing blogs, where the story has been covered for years):
The New York Times — for the last six years, one of the biggest shills and loudest supporters of President Bush’s war in Iraq — has finally run an article on the security holes in Diebold’s voting machines.
The Washington Post carried a story about officials in numerous states demanding additional security measures for Diebold electronic voting machines.
Even the Wall Street Journal (which makes their content hard to link to) published an article last week that noted, “Some former backers of the technology seek a return to paper ballots, citing glitches and fraud fears.”
As freepress.org notes, these papers could have run these stories back in 2004, when hundreds of Ohio voters reported that Diebold machines reassigned their Kerry votes to Bush … or back when Diebold officials sent a letter to Bush, promising to deliver Ohio for Bush in the 2004 election. Better late than never, I suppose.
Meantime, everyday Americans, too, may be waking up to the fact that the current President was never elected. The latest polls show that, except for those who get their news exclusively from Fox News (ahem), at least 39% of Americans believe the 2004 election was rigged.
