"A homerun, my friend. Well said -- bravo!"

"glock rocks, thanks for the heads-up to Vigilantcitizen's fine post :-)"

Coming from you JohnHuang2, one of my favorite and most astute posters here at FR, your congratulations mean alot to me.:)

[dansangel]

Yes...And how about all of the military votes that got trashed in 2000....or the *dead* people who voted dim. Sheesh, c'mon. The left-leaning and very biased media hushed *that* up pretty quick.

OK, blood pressure up to stroke level already this morning. At least the trolls let me know I'm still alive and kicking! LOL!!

[JohnHuang2]

Why, thank you, friend :-)

I personally favor old fashioned paper ballots

Me too, and with all parties doing the counting by hand. But, I guess such view is obsolete in the the computerized brave new world. You should trust your government.

Well done,FRiend!

"GREAT post VC! Here's a Georgia peach bump."

Thank you, ma'am. And here's a "We're really nice people, but don't mess with us Georgians cuz we'll kick your a$$." bump back at ya.

Bump for that, though I doubt Mr. Al is even bothering to read the replies.

The real issue with elections in the U.S. is massive voter fraud in urban areas. PA arguably went Dem in the last Presidential election due to 100%+ voter turnout in Philly. 100%+? Hmmmmmm. St. Louis, too.

Regarding Max, in the wake of 9/11, GA voters took a hard look at his record, and came to the realization that he was a lot closer to Teddy Kennedy than he was to Zell Miller. Without 9/11, the electorate would have sleepwalked him right through re-election.

Oh, I know. But just in case, I sent it to the Guardian too.

I don't know much about Georgia. However, I don't think you can compare primary raw numbers with general election real numbers.

Often, when one party is traditionally much stronger in a local area than the other, people will vote in the primary of the stronger party so they can make a choice. You often see it in the rural South where people will vote in the Dem primary to influence local races, but vote GOP in the general for the national races.

In my county -- a GOP stronghold -- I know a number of Dems who vote in the GOP primary because of the local races.

Plus, 2002 in Georgia was unique because the GOP nominated Senate and Governor candidates who were not from their traditional heartland of the Atlanta suburbs. It only makes sense that Chambliss and Perdue would do better in their home region that an Atlanta politician.

I left one of the major factors in the republican takeover here in Georgia, and that's FRee Republic, the place we all met and planned our nefarious VRWC activities.

Sincere thanks and gratitude to Jim and John.

Its a long article, so I admit that I didn't read the whole thing.

But, correct me if I'm wrong here, the article basically places more faith in opinion polls than in the voting machines.

Its pretty well known around here that polls consistantly lean about 3-4% more towards the democrats than actual voting results. There have been several articles on this website about it as well as discussions of how polling is conducted.

Second, the article references Minnesota. The turnaround in Minnesota was largely due to the democrats discusting "Funerally" for the late Senator Wellstone.

You are incorrect in stating that this is gaining traction - at least in regards to the United States.
