“Yes, Dalton could easily be more popular than McCrory. Dalton served for years in the legislature and was a good country boy from Rutherfordton. These people all voted for Easley and that crew too. NC is historically not a straight ticket state. Party affiliation only came to be important since Obama won our EVs and all the white people who don't live in Charlotte or the Triangle flipped out and fucking Kochs spent 10's of millions fucking us over and turning us against each other.”

I don’t buy it. Roy Cooper grew up in this area and I’d say he’s more popular than Dalton there.


“On the other hand, this unhack the vote "Mike Farb" guy doesn't seem to exist. The website is a recent wordpress with no identifying information about who runs it or funds it. Mike Farbs show up on Google search, but none associated with the organization. I could search the web domain registration info to see if it is one of them, but boring and it is probably a private registration anyway.”

You’re anonymous on DU. Does that mean you don’t exist? There are a lot of anon accounts on Twitter that have done a lot of good in spreading the word about various topics- You do know there are hacktivists out there who are affiliated with Anonymous and other groups who despise Trump and his policies.
Are you insinuating @MikeFarb is part of a propaganda campaign? You should tweet @ him if you want to know more about him. He replies to people on a daily basis.


“Dallas Woodhouse is crazier than a shit house rat. He can talk trash, but is not capable of the sustained mental focus that hacking voting machines would take. He would get drunk, forget and go on a 1 AM Twitter rant. And besides, the NC GOP is VERY successful at stealing elections 'legally' with gerrymandering and voter suppression work. Why would they do something this risky, even if they were capable. Dude, they are not that bright. They get help from the national party and Kochs to draw their districts and write their nasty legislation, but on a day-to-day basis, they are not capable of what you are speculating.”

Woodhouse is a stooge. But he is a ‘stooge’ who gets paid well by his masters. I think his right-wing Hunter Thompson shtick appeals to a lot of folks in the GOP.

&t=5s




Was the stolen 2000 election “risky”? How about the stolen votes and voter suppression in the 2004 election? Wait, you probably think those elections were legit. LOL

There are dark forces in our government that can change the vote on any night. Ask Al Gore, John Kerry, and Hillary Clinton.




“Without proof, these types of allegation just degrade the public trust in democracy, which is the GOAL of the GOP, etc. Why are you playing along?”

“… degrade public trust in democracy” LOL

Muddy the water enough and no one will be able to see the bottom. The public’s trust in our election system died after the 2000 election.

Using hackable machines and tabulators in elections is enough PROOF for me to not trust the evil forces from the NCGOP.
Watch the lady at the end of this video- She starts crying b/c she knows her vote doesn’t count!



Here are more of those ‘tinfoil’ geeks hacking election machines:




I won’t have confidence in elections until there’s a nationwide upgrade in the voting machines.

CALL ME CRAZY! CALL ME A TINFOIL WEARING LEFTY LOON! Just don’t call me a sheep who is supposed to fall into a lock-step cadence with the other ones being led to slaughter. I know for a fact that my opinion is shared by many on Democratic Underground!
You can preach it from the rooftops day and night- I’m still not going to buy that Clinton lost Martin County, or the 2016 election.

Others on DU would agree with me:

From two users on DU in 2015:

Cyrano:
You don't need to rig precincts- You need to "own" the voting machines. And you need to control the state legislature and pass voter ID laws. These two things make "rigging districts" meaningless.

bvar22:
The fix will be in the tabulators. That is much easier to control.

There are other examples of US and NC voters who aren't willing to 'play along' with the outcome of this election- I guess everyone who doesn't share your opinion are thrown into that tinfoil bin of conspiracy crazies! We're just not worthy enough to touch the hem of your infallible election opinions.
