VIDEO EXCLUSIVE: Interview With Professor Steve Freeman About The Stolen 2004 Election

Cross-posted at BRAD BLOG.

University of Pennsylvania professor Steve Freeman, author of the important book, “Was The 2004 Presidential Election Stolen?: Exit Polls, Election Fraud, and the Official Count”, sat down with BRAD BLOG at the 2nd Annual National Latino Congreso in Los Angeles on Friday. Below is our interview broken down into five easy viewing segments.

Who won the 2004 presidential election?

The short answer is John Kerry. Professor Freeman explains that while the official vote count gave George W. Bush a narrow margin of victory in Ohio of 120,000 votes and a slim electoral win, exit poll data indicates that Kerry actually won Ohio by 500,000 votes and won the national vote by a 6 million vote margin.

What is the significance of the November 2004 Ukraine exit polls and the 1992 presidential election exit polls?

Professor Freeman: “The incredible irony is that at the same time members of the administration were saying the exit polls indicate fraud in the Ukraine -- undersecretary of state John Tefft was giving testimony saying that exit polls are one of the few reliable measures for showing mass scale election fraud. At the same time, Ed Gillespie, the head of the Republican National Committee, was speaking before the press conference saying that the press should abandon exit polls, they don't work anymore.”

As a professor of business management, did you have any interest in election integrity issues prior to 2004? And what can individuals do to learn about election integrity issues?

Professor Freeman: “It wasn't until 2004 when I really investigated the system and just, absolutely stunned. At first I thought I must not understand this. I looked at electronic voting and I said, well there has to be some safeguard, it can't be this easy to corrupt. But it is. Even worse. If you haven't looked into this it is worse than you can possibly imagine.”

Why do we have voting machines and is there a solution to our election problems?

Professor Freeman: “It is funny to hear myself speak like radical on this issue. I've spent my life starting businesses and teaching in such radical institutions as Harvard Business School system and Wharton. Running businesses, starting businesses and teaching business school students. But when you are talking about privatizing elections you are really giving up the security we have that elections are unfettered and free.”

What can individuals do to help ensure fair elections?

Professor Freeman: “The key fact is that this is not a hypothetical threat. It has happened. Elections have been stolen. Read my book, Read Fitrakis's book, read BRAD BLOG and learn what is happening.”

Bush voters did not participate in your "confidential" exit polls. 1)you guys choose who to ask to "participate" based on appearance 2)Bush supporters don't "participate" because they don't trust your "confidential" exit poll process (that mistrust is a conservative trait which selects out of your poll) 3)Bush supporters are more likely to have somewhere to be other than "participate" in your poll 4)when there is a widely promulgated dictum that Bush supporters are prima facie racists, thieves and worse, it's unlikely you'll get them to admit to anyone, no matter how confidential you claim, that they voted for Bush. You and your friends have labeled them with the most horrendous slurs, and then you want an honest response. Hah!

You don't have to be a statistician to understand common sense: You cannot sample a SELF-SELECTED SUB-GROUP and expect it to be representative of a larger group. If it is, it's only by chance.
