Blogs for Bush: Kerry Watch Archives

This is an interesting story...

Kerry basically stated that Republicans are racists who want to suppress blacks from voting.

The linked story above is written by a Republican who is volunteering to help people vote, and at the exact same time Kerry is claiming that, because he is a Republican, he is in fact trying to keep some from voting.

I'm highly offended by this claim myself. While I'm personally not volunteering my time to go to a voting center, I believe strongly in every American's right to vote.

On the bottom of every page I have links, one which goes to BlackBoxVoting.org. The basic premise is a single company (Diebold) is in charge of a huge percentage of voting systems, and there have been documented holes in the systems, not to mention the company has installed illegal changes on multiple occasions, including times right before an election! Also results of an election were publicly available on an FTP site BEFORE an election was completed. It is completely illegal for this information to be available before an election has completed, not to mention it's supposed to be impossible for this information to even be accessible (according to Diebold) prior to the polls closing.

While the link is a small role, I have tried to make sure word of this gets out, because the thought of votes not being counted, or worse, changed at someone's will is something unacceptable to me. Keep in mind I took a few years of programming courses, and currently program web applications for a living. I know computers very well, and know about all the things that can go wrong with them!

For Kerry to suggest I am trying to prevent people from voting highly offends me! I fully believe in everybody's right to vote, and feel that every vote cast is just as important as mine!!! Diebold was originally tied to members of the Republican party. If I wanted to prevent votes from being counted, it would have been very easy to completely ignore this problem all together.

If Kerry believes that every Republican is a racist, then I'm very scared as to what will happen if he does end up being elected. Will registered Republicans automatically be labeled as racists from that point on???

What's the only basis for Kerry's claim? That would most likely be The Florida Myth (Myth being the operative word)...
