Concerns about possible 2008 Election Theft
    After a contested presidential election in 2000 that some believe was stolen from Al Gore by George Bush's supporters, the issue of election theft has become a hot election topic in America.  With public awareness raised about this critical concern, here are some of the concerns about possible 2008 U.S. election theft.
1. The traditional stolen election concerns of voter suppression, voter intimidation, inadequate voting machines and/or longer lines in poorer or urban areas, possible ballot box stuffing in one form or another, etc.  Voter suppression of mostly Democratic voters is a standard Republican tactic that the Republicans planned to implement, tried to implement, and only partially succeeded in implementing in 2008.  For example, Robert F. Kennedy and Greg Palast write that "In 2004, highly organized GOP tacticians helped disenfranchise no less than 2.7 million American voters.  Almost a million of them were African Americans."
2. The rise of Diebold's electronic voting machines that do not include a paper audit trail.  (Who did your election machine vote for?)
3. The built-in vulnerability of Windows XP and the Internet to computer hacking attacks, including remote control of personal computers.  For example, Terminal Services, Remote Desktop Protocol, and Remote Assistance are all designed to let other people run your computer and they are vulnerable to illegal computer hacking.  (Who hacked the election results?)
4. The presence of very sophisticated lawless technical computer hackers with advanced computer hacking technology that are probably capable of at least trying to hack 2008 election results.  This webmaster is also familiar with an illegal covert black-ops style U.S. secret police force, known as COINTELPRO or the FBI SID, that might have the technology, the workers, and the orders and/or black ops-style criminal mindset to try to hack and steal elections on Nov. 4, 2008.  This webmaster's PC has been routinely illegally hacked by the FBI SID, and this webmaster strongly suspects the FBI SID might have their sights set on some election tabulating computers and computer networks.
