Stolen Election In Alaska?

Something stinks. Not just an ordinary low tide smell. Not like something you’d blame on the dog. It smells like an infection. For me to plug my nose, I’d have to overlook some curious facts. In Alaska, more people voted for George W. Bush in 2004 than voted for Sarah Palin on Tuesday despite an identical 61-36 margin of victory. Yes. Only four years ago 54,304 Alaskans got off their sofas and voted for Bush, but decided to sit home and not vote for Palin in 2008. In turn, I have to ignore the 30,520 Alaskans who felt progressive enough in 2004 to vote for John Kerry, but weren’t inspired enough to get out and vote for Barack Obama. I would have to glance past the 1,700% increase in the Democratic caucus in February, the 20,991 newly registered voters, and the three largest political rallies in Alaska’s history. I would also have to forget the people I stood in a long line with to early vote. Try not to remember 12.4% more Alaskans showed up for the August primary vote than did four years ago, before the Palin nomination. It would be helpful not to know every other presidential election since Alaska began keeping records has had a larger turn out than the one this year with our own Governor on the ticket. Don’t think about the Lower 49’s record voter turn out this year either. Try to delete the memory file, though difficult, that 80% of us approved of Sarah Palin just two months ago.
Something stinks. You don’t care? Obama won. Yes. He. Did! Free at last! Wait. Democracy demands all of the votes be counted…if you can find them. In the balance hangs the fate of Alaska’s Senate seat and House seat. We still don’t know if we have elected now convicted felon Ted Stevens, or Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich. We still don’t know if Don Young and his million dollar legal problems will defeat former State Representative Ethan Berkowitz and his dreams of Washington DC. Alaska hasn’t had a Democrat represent us in Washington DC since Mike Gravel lost his senate seat in 1980.
Four years ago, 313,592 out of 474,740 registered voters in Alaska participated in the election-a 66% turnout. Taking into account 49,000 outstanding ballots, on Tuesday 272,633 out of 495,731 registered Alaskans showed up at the polls; a turnout of 54.9%. That’s a decrease of more than 11% in voter turnout even though passions ran high for and against Obama, as well as for and against Sarah Palin! This year, early voters set a new record. As of last Thursday, with 4 days left for early voting, 15,000 Alaskans showed up-shattering the old record set in 2004 by 28%! Consider the most popular governor in history-and now the most polarizing-was on the Republican ticket. Consider the historic nature of this race; the first African American presidential candidate EVER! The second woman to ever make a presidential ticket; and she’s one of our own. Despite that, we’re supposed to believe that overall participation DECREASED by 11%. This historic election both nationally and for Alaska HAD THE LOWEST ALASKA TURNOUT FOR A PRESIDENTIAL RACE EVER!!! That makes sense. REALLY??? Something stinks.
But wait, there’s more…
Pre election polls had both Mark Begich-D and Ethan Berkowitz-D beating incumbents Senator Ted Stevens and Congressman Don Young by at least 6-10 points. Stevens is currently ahead by 3,353 votes with 49,000 ballots left to count. Berkowitz, however, is behind by 16,887 votes; a 51-43 margin. Are we to believe Don Young came from an 8 point average polling deficit to win by 8 points-a whopping 16 point turnaround??? Remember how historic the pundits thought Hillary Clinton’s come from behind New Hampshire Primary victory was? She trailed Barack Obama by 9% in the pre primary polls and ended up winning by 2 points. It was called the most stunning comeback in political history. On Election Night, Don Young topped Hillary Clinton’s startling and unprecedented comeback. Furthermore, there were nearly three thousand Alaskans, (2,783) that voted yet left the hotly contested congressional race blank. In the highly publicized senate race, complete with a nationally covered trial that ended with seven felony convictions for the incumbent, 1,392 Alaskans submitted a ballot and failed to register a vote in the senate race. I’m not sure statistically what that means, but it strikes me as odd that well over a thousand Alaskans would wait in long lines and not cast a vote in either the senate race or the congressional race-especially since there was only one ballot measure. In addition, this particular election had an extra high degree of local interest with Governor Palin on the national stage.
McCain-Palin was ahead in Alaska pre election polling by as much as 55-40. The Haysresearch Poll that came out Sunday indicated that gap had closed to 2.7 points! That poll was certainly consistent with Palin’s reverse meteoric fall in popularity within the state of Alaska. In that same Haysresearch Poll released on November 2, Question 2 addressed Governor Palin’s positive-negative rating. 11% of Alaskans surveyed said their opinion of Palin had become more positive while 37% indicated they were more negative towards Palin. Yesterday’s vote contradicts those polls. McCain-Palin won Alaska 61-36! A 25 POINT SPREAD!!! An identical point spread as the 2004 Election.
Alaska has certainly had our share of election hanky panky. Check out this link to our 2004 election results. There are 40 districts in Alaska. The Anchorage area districts run from District 17-District 32. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and pick any district from 17-32. Pay particular attention to the 3rd column labeled % turnout. Hit the back arrow and select another district. There are more precincts with voter turnout over 100% than under 100%. In other words, many more people voted in Anchorage area precincts than there were registered voters. Clearly, this is not possible. In 2006, the Democrats filed a lawsuit against the Alaska Division of Elections to release public records needed to verify the 2004 election results. The Democrats ALSO sought to have the Alaska Division of Elections release the raw election data for the 2006 election. With that history, and the bizarre anomalies in polling and voting and reports from the field of ballots not being scanned on-site due to broken machines, could this election have been stolen?
I’ve always said if Democracy was a religion, voting would be the sacrament. I’m wondering if someone stole the body and blood of this election. I’m wondering if the wine isn’t poisoned. Take a few whiffs. Breathe deeply. See if you don’t come to the same conclusion. Where are the votes? Something stinks at the Alaska Division of Elections.

Since when are convicted felons allowed to hold or even run for public office ?
November 6th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
I’m sure they played games in Minnesota too, desperate to stop Al Franken from having a big voice. And Ted Stevens, re-elected despite 7 felony charges? Well, some Alaskans still like Palin, so just maybe …

ET Says “******”
And every American will get what he deserves. What he invited in through the front door and didnt fight hard enough to keep out. Fix the monoplolized media,(see Rupert Murdoch)

and you at least get the election scams some publicity on some networks.
But to be honest who really wants to hear preaching about Democracy and Peoples Rights from Americans. It makes one nautious. Id rather listen to the Russians preach it. They have more credibility.

The whole thing is bullshit, 2 years ago when the Ed and Elaine story broke, the fed wanted to know from everyone who took an interest, what their position was on black people in a very non-direct kind of way. In fact I recall Ed telling me he figured out one of the guys was a fed when he came in the house acting all KKK about blacks. In my opinion, the entire Ed & Elaine Brown fiasco was a honeypot trap to draw out dissent and target possible anti-black Americans where Jason, Reno and the other guy were planned victims. It has to look legit!
Eds phone rights removed for a year, doesn’t happen, been big federal lawsuits to stop that.
I think Elaine, was a victim of a 15 yr long trap to get her for failing to play their game when she was self employed. And I think Ed was the puppet master.
Not to mention they took an awful big interest in me, and when their house of cards fell, all the information landed neatly in place.
Dont get draw into this shit, the alex jones, the rense.com, wtprn.com, the truthattack.org all of them appear to be working for the same agenda. These people arnt real, its a scam to keep you donating. Anything they can do to get the (common stock) dollar out of circulation, and well if they get to bag someone they can paint as a radical all the better, as they are constantly looking for ways to keep/create job security.
Wake up, your world is created and manipulated.

HAHAHAHAHA, You know the entire ED & ElAINE BROWN STORY BULLSHIT. The WHOLE THING WAS FED. THE ONLY PEOPLE INNOCENT ARE ELAINE. ED WAS A PLANTED PUPPET MASTER 15 YEARS AGO. FUCK YOU ALL, I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL!

Thank you for this story. We have big problems with our election process in that we may not have an election process anymore. Rather, do we have programmed results and stolen elections? It looks that way. If our votes don’t count then we aren’t a democracy or a republic anymore. If we can’t really vote then we’re living in a dictatorship where we have no real voice at the ballot box. “Listen to my words, O LORD, and hear my sights. Listen to my cry for help, my God and king!” (Psalms 5:1-2) If this story is correct, or partially correct, we are in big trouble. It’s very sad that most of the major media won’t report about our broken computer voting machines.

It’s not just AL. I have a comment about electronic voting machines. I used one for the first time in NC, a new “battleground” state because of all the non-payers who’ve been brought into our state by our own government (there are more illegal hispanic people here than there are in Texas! Thank you John Edwards). Anyway, NC has always been strongly Republican in federal elections but very Democrat in state elections. When I voted I used a touch screen and pressed next, then at the end I reviewed my selections and then hit “confirm” which ended my session. I recieved no receipt or paper. It felt wrong. When I asked for one they gave me a little round sticker that said I voted. I didn’t feel relieved.
I ask you, how can I be sure that my vote was really made, was accurate, and wasn’t stolen? The answer is I cannot. Even if I were able to track down a paper talley indicating my vote, and let’s say it was stolen and showed I voted for another candidate, they could just say that I made the mistake. You see, without some document with MY OWN MARK or CUTOUT on it, I cannot be sure my vote was made correctly. It’s a shame but any of these elections can now be stolen.
The sad thing is that the sweet little old lady volunteers manning the polling station were so confounded by my request for a receipt. Most Americans are so naiive and don’t see this burgulary at all. The other sad thing is that McCain is just as much a crook. God save America.
