possible fraud claims expanding

ok, so we should keep an eye on this stuff. i haven't wanted to jump on it too soon, given my propensity for conspiracy theories. the exit polls just don't add up to the results, and there are just too many anomalies. read and see for yourself. many think that we just lost on gay marriage, that rove is a superhuman genius, that the moral values thing worked. other analyses dispute that idea.

anyway, for me, the theories out there for why florida swung from "537" votes for bush to over 350,000 just aren't cutting it, especially not with exit polls predicting a big win for kerry.

anyway, see for yourself.

in nebraska: 10,000 'extra' votes in one county

olbermann of msnbc reports "remarkable results out of Cuyahoga County, Ohio. In 29 precincts there, the County’s website shows, we had the most unexpected results in years: more votes than voters. I’ll repeat that: more votes than voters. 93,000 more votes than voters." also, reportedly, Warren County in Ohio was contacted by Homeland Security, told it was on high alert, and their election official 'locked down' the vote count, which meant that there were no observers of the count, at all. warren county is a fast growing conservative base.

press "John Kerry", but vote "George Bush" in Ohio: "Touch screen voting machines in Youngstown OH were registering "George W. Bush" when people pressed "John F. Kerry" ALL DAY LONG. This was reported immediately after the polls opened, and reported over and over again throughout the day, and yet the bogus machines were inexplicably kept in use THROUGHOUT THE DAY." and in florida too.

votes in florida disappearing: "Officials found the software used in Broward can handle only 32,000 votes per precinct. After that, the system starts counting backward."

hacking would explain the exit polls in florida: "Franklin County, with 77.3 percent registered Democrats, went 58.5 percent for Bush. Holmes County, with 72.7 percent registered Democrats, went 77.25 percent for Bush. "Yet in the larger counties," Hartmann noted, "where such anomalies would be more obvious to the news media, high percentages of registered Democrats equaled high percentages of votes for Kerry…. And, although elections officials didn't notice these anomalies, in aggregate they were enough to swing Florida from Kerry to Bush. If you simply go through the analysis of these counties and reverse the 'anomalous' numbers in those counties that appear to have been hacked, suddenly the Florida election results resemble the Florida exit poll results: Kerry won, and won big."

former employee of ES&S reportedly on the computer mainframe in Ohio, against all protocol

MIT number cruncher finds a statistical probability of 50000:1 that Bush would carry all remaining states by more than 4% after the 4 p.m. exit polls. Cites 4 possible ways this could happen: (1) Significantly greater lying or refusal to speak to pollsters in Bush voters versus Kerry voters; (2) Consistent/systematic errors in weighting demographic groups; (3) A surge of Bush voters after 4 p.m., in all states; (4) Systematic tampering/hacking of reported vote totals, in Bush’s favor.
