PROP 37 VOTE FRAUD UPDATE: 3.3 MILLION VOTES STILL UNCOUNTED
by Jon Rappoport
November 11, 2012
When the networks and other media outlets made the early call on election night, claiming Prop 37 had gone down to defeat, there were millions of votes still uncounted.
I just checked the California Secretary of State’s website, which is the official center for vote results, and there are 3,334,495 votes that remain unprocessed.

As of 11/9/2012 5:00 p.m. PT, the unprocessed vote count stands at 3,334,495:
Reading the county-by-county reports, the last date any of them reported in with numbers was November 8, three days ago.
Why is it taking so long for California to count all its votes? Why do so many remain uncounted at this late date?
Yes, some of them are what’s called provisional votes. That basically means they were turned in with errors, and those errors need to be tracked down and corrected. That takes time.
But large numbers of uncounted votes must be electronic. What’s the hold-up?
Looking at the most recent report on the Prop 37 results, Prop 37 is trailing by 585,464 votes.
Of the 3.3 million votes that remain uncounted, how many people voted on Prop 37, one way or the other? I don’t know.
We can fiddle with estimates and projections and try to figure out how many people would have to vote YES on 37 for a victory, but—and this is very important—a larger specter looms over all this.
I really hope you get this.
When the absurdly early call against Prop 37 was made on election night, that was a clue. It was a red flag. It was a loud siren:
“Something is very wrong here.” That was the message.
From the moment that clue sprang forth, from the moment that siren went off, we had two choices. We could say, “Well, the TV networks are insane. They’re crooked. So we need to get all the votes counted, to see what the real result is.”
Or we could say: “This early call against 37 suggests more criminality. Other crimes. How can we rely on the vote count at all? How can we assume, even when the other votes are counted, we’re going to get a true result?”
The second conclusion is the correct one. This is what I’ve been saying for the past several days.
Many people naively believe that the early call against Prop 37 was the only problem. They assume the entire vote count, when it’s finished, will be true and honest.
Let’s say you’re investigating a jewel theft. And you see a guy walking down the street and he has part of a big necklace hanging out of his pocket. Do you assume the necklace is the only stolen item he’s carrying? Or do you infer the guy is loaded with other items from the theft?
Here are two sources you can consult. The first is an extensive article by Victoria Collier about general vote-count fraud. The second is the California Secretary of State’s own 2007 “Top-to-Bottom-Review” of voting machines used in elections. This report is a mind-blower. It reveals massive opportunities for vote fraud. Should we blithely assume California has fixed all those problems?

Recently, a team at the Argonne National Lab showed how a voting machine could be hacked and controlled, using a small device that costs between $10-$26.
There was the famous 2010 experiment, in which a team from Ann Arbor, Michigan, offered to hack the District of Columbia’s voting system. They broke in and reversed the count in the mayoral election. They also fabricated absentee votes from overseas and canceled out the real votes.
In my second article on the Prop 37 scandal, I tracked the early media call against Prop 37, on election night, to its most probable source, the Associated Press (AP).
AP, the giant wire service, is officially a non-profit owned by 1400 member newspapers, who use its services and also contribute articles. However, as everyone knows, the newspaper business in America is dying. Its bottom line is sitting in a lake of red ink, and the lake is sitting in an ocean of red ink.
That means these newspapers, and the corporations who own them, have been re-financing their very existence with loans, and loans to pay off earlier loans. That means banks.
Now you’re getting into the oligarchy that owns this country.
Does this sound too far-fetched? Too remote? Can we really say that “the powers-that-be” defeated Prop 37?
Well, remember that YES ON 37 was a wedge against the assault of GMO food. It was the first of a number of dominoes that could fall against Monsanto and other GMO companies. Why? Because once consumers could see, labeled on the food they bought, whether it was GMO, they could make a choice.
And surveys indicate that huge numbers of people don’t want to eat GMO food or are at least suspicious of it.
Imagine what would happen if millions and millions of Americans, starting in California, rejected GMO food at the market.
Is that a threat to the mega-GMO-corporations who want to own the patents on all food crops on the planet? Is the Pope Catholic?
We also have more down-to-earth fiddling with Prop 37. An instant classic press conference was held a few days before the election, by the YES ON 37 forces.
I was on that phone call. One by one, I heard reporters from major media outlets confuse and divert the whole issue of crimes committed by NO ON 37 forces. These reporters channeled the discussion into an irrelevant nit-picking question: Has the FBI really opened a full-blown investigation into NO ON 37, or is it really just an inquiry or a mild expression of interest?
This theater-of-the-absurd crashed the intent of the press conference, and in the ensuing days, just as election day loomed, sure enough, stories appeared in the press. The gist of these stories was: “no real FBI investigation”; “YES ON 37 had it wrong”; “who’s really deceiving who.”
What started out as an effort to expose very obvious lies and crimes committed by the NO ON 37 forces boomeranged completely.
So, all in all, there is substantial evidence that, in the run-up to election day, and in the criminally insane early call against Prop 37, on election night, very heavy hitters didn’t want Prop 37 to pass.
Therefore, do we foolishly assume the ongoing vote-count in California is going to be honest?
Do we assume the votes that have already been counted and reported in California are true and honest?
Do we accept that Prop 37 is now trailing by 585,464 votes?
No, no, and no.
Many people would like to think we can assume honesty in these matters. It would be nice to believe in the system. But it would a fatal error.

Shocking. What can be done??
[…] PROP 37 VOTE-FRAUD UPDATE: 3.3 MILLION VOTES STILL UNCOUNTED « Jon Rappoport’s Blog. […]
Good question Bettina. I wish I had a good answer. Writing letters, and making noise might be a good start. I’m an Ohioan and this vote was the most important to me in the country (despite not being able to vote in it). I’d love to see people not let this go quietly. To me it’s pretty simple. I don’t believe the outcome was honest. I want a recount, and I want an investigation. I’ll let a bunch of people know. If enough people start to doubt the outcome, or even just start talking about it. It could be a PR nightmare. Just a consideration.
Might we apply the same principle to the presidential election?
Yes to a recount! Why are we in such a rush for results? Counting by hand doesn’t take so long when you have alot of help to do so. I’m willing to go down to my local district and help count the 2,000 possible votes cast. So what if it takes a couple of days? At least we’ll know what’s true and what’s not?!?!?!
Jon I didn’t see a “Contact” button. I wanted to get your opinion on the Keshe Foundation – what they’re trying to do and what the Obama Admiinistration is trying to stop them from doing. Is this real?

How can anybody believe that they really have a choice in these matters. You can vote till your blue in the face it does’nt matter. It’s not the vote it’s who counts the votes that matters.
What the real shame here is…It was first tried Big Time in 2000 in Florida…they have been tweaking it ever since…Bush was Never Elected… voting machines are made to be hacked..long lines are on purpose..and since you have no copy of who you voted for…you most likely voted in vain…
great stuff thank you – I found you on RT news.. in Sydney. I am from USA – I couldn’t find FOX
Social media seems to be the only way to get informed about this voting fraud, all other media are staying hushed because they are sleeping with the big pro-GMO giants like PepsiCo, General Mills, Coca Cola, Kellogg, ConAgra and more…so get loud and sign the MoveOn.org petition for a recount.
Please, people – do a little research before you get your panties in a wad! A simple search of the Secretary of State’s website states that the election results are not made official until sometime between December 7th and December 14th. Counties have until Dec 7th to count and report all the votes, and then the SoS has a week to review and validate the results. If you don’t like the media “calling” the results of an election, then don’t stress about it and just wait until the results are official. In addition the SoS’s website has a complete list of all the counties and how many unprocessed ballots they have. In case you can’t find it, here is the link ( http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/2012-elections/nov-general/pdf/unprocessed-ballots-report.pdf ). Some of the counties last updated on 11/7, some on 11/8, and some today (11/13). Are you really upset that there were no counties that updated on 11/9 (which was the only business day between the 8th and today?) I’d much rather have them counting the votes instead of running the reports every day. Not to mention the fact that if this ballot measure passes it wouldn’t even take effect until July 1, 2014. I think that we all can wait until December 14, 2012 to find out. Let’s be patient and let the elections officials do their job.
A fraud is a fraud, don’t try to butter it over with excuses. There are no excuses for the use of electronic voting, and no excuses for their manipulation. 100% fraud, 100% guaranteed.
958,311 ballots still not counted yet, according to California Secretary of State website. Today is November 26, 2012. At the bottom of the “Estimated Unprocessed Ballots for November 6, 2012 General Elections” spreadsheet is: “Updated 11/26/2012 5:00 p.m.”.
I live in Texas and I know in my heart that the most liberal state in the US did not vote against Prop 37 to require labeling of GMO foods, when national polling indicates 95% of Americans want labeling.
This obvious fraud should be the “smoking gun” to finally rally Americans to fix our corrupted “so-called” election system. To turn this outrage into a triumph must start with the disenfranchised voters in California. Well California? A start would be to contact the SOS office in massive numbers and demand an answer to the question “What’s up with the 958,311 uncounted ballots still on November 26?”

It IS very odd that media called it so early and with such certainty when so many votes were uncounted. It’s not a matter of being impatient for results. It’s a matter of being informed about the extent of vote manipulation/hacking over the past decade or so. I’ll bet Nancy B. never heard what happened in Ohio 2004 or the King Lincoln lawsuit. Elections officials can “do their jobs” but that doesn’t mean the vote can’t be hacked or will be counted in a trustworthy way. I am curious about the methods used to count the ballots that remain uncounted…is it by machine or by hand?
this from the good people at woodprarie.com:
Breaking News! Prop 37 Election Fraud?
The question being asked today is “Was there election fraud in California’s Prop 37, the Right-To-Know GMO Labeling initiative?” Our friends at Food Democracy Now! are reporting that “statistical anomalies” and significant “irregularities” have been uncovered by a team of independent statisticians who are analyzing raw voter data from California’s Prop 37 vote held on November 6. The anomalies appear in the largest precincts of nine counties including San Francisco, Los Angeles and Alameda. The number of votes involved are significant and the discrepancies are great enough that they have the potential for altering the outcome of the Prop 37 vote.
Free and fair elections are the hallmark of a democratic society. California voters and the American people deserve an honest vote, 100% transparency and a full accounting of the Prop 37 vote.
Please sign onto the FDN! letter which urges California Secretary of State Debra Bowen to act honorably and make absolutely certain every vote is accurately reported and counted.
Stay tuned.
Thanks! Jim & Megan
