Scenario:

What I am about to tellWhat I am about to tell you is very disturbing.

I was involved in fixing the votes and that is the reason the computer was offline Monday election night for some time. It almost did not happen.

The election vote count has been tampered with.

The Mayors total was no where near the amount that was disclosed. Her votes were almost half of what she received. We were told to take votes away from the others to make it look like the mayor got a majority vote.

The results for the councilors were fixed.

The 2 new councilors did not win and 2 old councilors did loose and we were told to make them all a winner.

The 2 that actually lost we were told to make it look like they won with a landslide like the mayors votes. The 2 that won did not actually win we were told to make them a winner 1 with a small margin and the other by a bigger margin. So now you have 4 councilors who are not supposed to be in office and the 4 that won are out of a job due to election tampering we made them loose.

All other councilors votes were also tampered with and changed. Take a look at the results we had to adjust almost all the numbers to make them look as if they balanced. We missed some due to the time we had the system down and ran out of time and made some mistakes and forgot to adjust the dropouts who received higher votes counts than someone who ran a full campaign.

A total manual recount is necessary.

I wish I can tell you more and I can not.

You should act before they do a complete cover up. Get everyone together to protest the biggest scandal of the century.This letter is not sent out to everyone, so please notify all the others once you receive this letter. I do not know who else to send this to or who controls or overlooks a situation like this with election results.

Good luck.

I will say my name is Fred for now. you is very disturbing.
