Mark Crispin Miller: The Proof for the Stolen Elections and More

Election Fraud, instigated by the Neo-Conservative movement world-wide, has been making the news this past week from of all places, Mexico.

The non-conservative candidate who lost a contested Mexican presidential election showed what he called video proof of fraud on Monday, 7/10/06, and would not commit to accepting a court ruling on the election results. Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the former mayor of Mexico City, asked an electoral court to reverse a narrow victory in the July 2, 2006 election of conservative Felipe Calderon of the ruling National Action Party or PAN.

Over the weekend, tens of thousands of citizens of Mexico City took to the streets to claim in loud voices that the election was stolen. Here in America, no one took to the streets after the November 2004 win by George W. Bush, even though there was overwhelming evidence for anyone who looked that the election was rigged. Why no outcry in America?

“We can’t keep doing this…we can’t keep going through these mock elections and then just sitting back and letting them take power.” - Mark Crispin Miller

In this follow-up interview conducted on October 17th, 2006 and posted on your right, Jerry talks with Mark Crispin Miller about the upcoming November elections and the odds that this one is rigged. Bush and Rove are inexplicitly upbeat about the coming elections, given their abysmal popularity among the populace. What can we expect and what can we do?

The hallmark of a strong democracy is not merely holding elections. Saddam Hussein had elections. The hallmark of a strong democracy is having popular control and oversight of the electoral process. If it’s not transparent to us it’s not democratic; it’s totalitarian.

The Bush regime was never elected in the first place and in order to take power they had to get around the electoral process and they know how to do it. Election fraud has been going on forever but Bush has brought it to new levels.

They are in a strong position to at least try it again as far as their control of the system is concerned. In next month’s elections 80% of the electorate will have its votes counted by computerized equipment manufactured by private companies with ties to the Republican Party. Also legislation has been passed in some states which disenfranchise select (i.e. Democratic) voters.

So what do we do?

We turn out to vote in large numbers but we also have to be very aware that there is a very good chance that fraud could happen again and to be vigilant for any improprieties. We need the highest turnout possible to make it harder for the Republicans to spin their next upset victory as being a legitimate one. We need to be psychologically prepared to refuse to acknowledge the results.

Mark hopes that another Republican “victory” would constitute the 2 x 4 that “knocks the Donkey out of its stupor.”
