election 2002

John McCain's VP pick, corrupt Republican Sarah Palin, turns out to have a teenage daughter who is pregnant out of wedlock. And this has created quite a bit of consternation among republicans. Many righ wingers are condemning McCain and Palin over Palin's teen daughter's pregnancy. Of course McCain is already being attacked by Bush's own pastor for his immorality and poor character, so this is bound to further alienate McCain's base.

But I don't condemn Palin over her daughter's pregnancy per se. This is life. Studies show that more than 90% of Americans have sex before marriage, most starting while they are young. Palin's family is no different than most of our families and they are sticking together over this. Good for them!

We all still remember the election fraud the Republicans carried out in Florida in 2000 and the probable fraud in Ohio in 2004. But even I was forgetting about the probably Republican fraud in Georgia 2002 where Democratic incumbent Max Cleland, who was 5 percentage points ahead just before election day, lost his Senate seat in an upset win for the Republicans. A very suspicious upset win.

A friend and reader reminded me of this and updated me. Some new developments have come out in the Georgia 2002 voter fraud case, and what is most interesting is that the new allegations come from a cybersecurity expert who used to work for none other than John McCain. From Raw Story:

A leading cyber-security expert and former adviser to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) says he has fresh evidence regarding election fraud on Diebold electronic voting machines during the 2002 Georgia gubernatorial and senatorial elections.
