November 25, 2004—According to informed sources in Washington and Houston, the Bush campaign spent some $29 million to pay polling place operatives around the country to rig the election for Bush. The operatives were posing as Homeland Security and FBI agents but were actually technicians familiar with Diebold, Sequoia, ES&S, Triad, Unilect, and Danaher Controls voting machines. These technicians reportedly hacked the systems to skew the results in favor of Bush.
The leak about the money and the rigged election apparently came from technicians who were promised to be paid a certain amount for their work but the Bush campaign interlocutors reneged and some of the technicians are revealing the nature of the vote rigging program.
I'll let you read all the sordid details. This is the kind of story that rarely makes it to the consumer media because it's extremely convoluted and Machiavellian. No sizzle. Way more thrilling to accountants than to Joe Six-pack. It's the way things are done at high levels, though.
I'll be relieved to find out the presidential election was rigged. That'd be better than thinking that 59 million of my fellow citizens are bone stupid.
Oh, and if it does turn out to be true, who's the fool? After spending $29 mil to do the dirty work, they shoulda paid the grunts!
