I am somewhat skeptical of these claims. If they knew this took place in 2002 why has it taken so long for the 2nd whistleblower to come forward.
Sorry but the timing of this new release is just too convenient.
This is going to be one of if not the dirtiest election campaigns in years and all sides are doing it not just one. Sad people have to sling mud to win elections, let alone make claims they will be fixed.

Sad that people don't pay attention when there are criminal acts being committed right in front of them.

There has been discussion about rigged voting machines ever since the polls.
No Ohio County used Diebold Electronic Voting Machines. Ohio did not use modern touchscreen voting machines in this election. Six counties use an older form of electronic voting. The state Democratic party is under the impression that all six counties have a way to verify their counts, but we've had conflicting reports, such as in Knox county. The state Democratic party has been informed, and they passed the news on to their lawyers. In 69 Ohio counties, punch card ballots were used.

It was later proven that the two counties involved did not have nor use the suspect machines.

the Republican party has a history of vote tampering anyway. I suppose the "innocent until proven guilty" thing applies, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it's probably a vote tampering republican official.

Lawmaker's son, 4 others charged in tire slashing
The reports were especially disturbing in Ohio, the critical battleground state that clinched Bush's victory in the electoral college. Officials there purged tens of thousands of eligible voters from the rolls, neglected to process registration cards generated by Democratic voter drives, shortchanged Democratic precincts when they allocated voting machines and illegally derailed a recount that could have given Kerry the presidency. A precinct in an evangelical church in Miami County recorded an impossibly high turnout of ninety-eight percent, while a polling place in inner-city Cleveland recorded an equally impossible turnout of only seven percent. In Warren County, GOP election officials even invented a nonexistent terrorist threat to bar the media from monitoring the official vote count.(11)

Vote-tampering in 1960 election
Fannin County, Texas had only 4,895 registered voters. BUT 6,138 votes were cast, 75% of which went to Kennedy.

Should we really compare tire-slashing to this?

What about all of the people that vote under more than 1 name or the Ileagles that vote when they shouldnt. That happens on both sides.

I've always believed that voting never solved anything, and that the political system in this country is a sham, but now it's making me angry. Now it's being done blatently and, for the most part, openly.

The CEO of Diebold infamously said during an 03 Republican fund rasier that he and his company were committed to delivering Ohio to Bush in 04....and so they did.
