Rule by Theft: Reconstructing the Crime

The Black Commentator - 11 November 2004 Issue

Massive irregularities in the November 2 presidential vote count "will probably lead to congressional hearings in the Committee on the Judiciary," predicts Rep. John Conyers, the committee's ranking Democrat and longest sitting member of the Congressional Black Caucus. If tampering is found, said the Detroit lawmaker, "there will be prosecutions" under federal law.

Watergate first surfaced as a short, curious story about a break-in at Democratic Party headquarters, in the summer of 1972. A decidedly low-tech crime, the Watergate conspiracy unraveled slowly as the Republican malefactors turned on each other, finally leaving their president naked to the world, disgraced. The Great Vote Theft of 2004, on the other hand, was in part a series of high-tech crimes against numbers ­ felonies designed to leave no physical trace, but which are evident through the patterns created by the perpetrators. Squads of dedicated sleuths are on the case ­ some of them at the top of their technical game ­ assembling data to reveal tell-tale patterns of massive vote fraud. There may soon be compelling circumstantial evidence of how the crimes were committed and, by deduction, the identity of the conspirators.
