Elections are rigged?
To anyone who questions whether the last Salisbury City election was rigged think about this.
1) Where were the polling places? One was at the Salisbury Fire Department on Cypress Street.
2) Who has access to the fire department on Cypress Street? Rick Hoppes and a few others and the machines were in the buildings over night.
3) Who was dying to be the next fire chief? Rick Hoppes. He would do anything to be the next fire chief since he had been waiting almost 2 years. All he needed to do was get Jim Ireton re-elected and Debbie Campbell ousted.
4) Who was dying to be the next mayor or re-elected mayor? Jim Ireton. Jim Ireton was Rick Hoppes' boss so he could easily influence Rick or some other fire fighter to gain access to the computers.
5) Who have friends in high places within the State? Jim Ireton. Chuck Cook worked for Martin O'Malley so they could have gotten all the resources they wanted to access the computers.
So all morning long during the election everyone was saying Joe was winning the election 2 to 1 and then Joe loses? So Jim Ireton gets re-elected and Debbie Campbell is beat by a landslide. Remember back a few short years when Debbie Campbell got re-elected and Debbie got more votes in her district than Jim Ireton got city wide. Jim Ireton rode in on Debbie Campbell's coattail for the win. Do you really believe that the electorate hated Debbie Campbell that much in 4 years and to vote for someone like Jake Day. It's very possible that Debbie could have lost that election, but it would have been close. I highly doubt Debbie lost by a landslide and Jim Ireton beat Joe 2 to 1.
Immediately following the election Jake Day becomes president of the city council and Laura Mitchell becomes vice president. The biggest item on the agenda at the meeting was to confirm a new fire chief. Debbie Campbell is gone and there is a new majority in Jim Ireton's favor. BAM! Salisbury has a new fire chief and coincidently the election was held in a city building where desperate people had access. A city fire department at that. Desperate people do desperate things. Sounds like a plan to me.

Why in the world doesn't somebody do something about this? You'd think even a dem might initiate it so he/she could say "We won fair and square." Somebody, please, do something. No way Campbell lost, no way Albero lost, no way Michael James lost.

ReplyDeleteLocation of the polling place has an impact but more important is who has the keys to the software.
My belief: Computer voting and early voting are tools for manipulation. No audit trail accessible to anyone not currently in power!
Joe, do you think the same thing happened to Boda? I have heard very few peopl saying they voted for Holloway or Cannon. Many people I talked to say they only voted for Boda. Interesting since Boda was the only advocate for change in county government.
ReplyDeleteAs long as voting is electronic, it will be tampered with.

Muir now you are worried about the ballots being tampered with? I didn't see you defending Joe when the final tally's came in? Now that it affects you, you feel the need to speak out. Yes I did vote for you Muir, but you should have spoke out then and not now. You seem to be upset now that it affects you.
Chuck Cook worked for the Governor and they worked hard(unethically, but they worked hard) to get Jake Day and Jim elected. He had access to the software. Rick Hoppes had access to the firehouse and the computers. They were all desperate and Rick Hoppes would have given up his first born to be the fire chief. Yes Hoppes was desperate and I saw him cry like a baby when Jim Ireton denied him the chief position 4 times in a row.
ReplyDeleteJoe there is a lot of truth to this comment worthy of a post. If you want this to get a lot of exposure you should move it to the top and keep it there for a while. Not many people have seen it yet.
ReplyDeleteI voted for Boda only. I also think I saw way more signs in yards supporting Muir, than any other candidate.
ReplyDeleteJoe, you sued the Mayor, why don't you sue about this too? It's the only way we are going to get to the bottom of it.
