Do they really want to go this route and stand a chance of losing Rendell and Richardson for fraud post a thorough investigation by the Justice Department. I still believe that the Justice Dept needs to go after ACORN, ACT, NAACP, etc. for voter fraud to send a message.
Is this what everyone else is reading here? It was a bit confusing without a second careful read...
The ballot I used was paper. I took a pencil and connected the dots. So simple. Reminds me of connect the dots games I played as a kid. They ought to have only paper ballots for the minorities.
We couldn't come through with Mt. St. Helens. A few kinks to be worked out.

They need to learn to push out a chad first.
The validity of an exit poll depends a lot on where the pollster is standing. If they perform all the polling in predominantly Democrat districts, then breakdowns by gender are meaningless. Unlike pre-election polls, we typically are not given the "internals" of the poll to allow the reader to verify proper weighting.
Excuse me, but that's a problem with Ashcroft's geological manipulator.
Rove's weather machine has been performing flawlessly.
Not only that, when I saw the exit pollers as I approached my polling place, my first reaction was "who are these people -- they look like Dems!" from 30 feet away. (Don't ask me why I had that predjudice!) So exiting they asked me to participate in the exit poll, and, I'll tell you what, when I looked down at the box the questionaires were going in & saw that this was for AP, CNN, etc., I just about blew it off. But, then, even though it was the afternoon, I thought about how I felt when I'd heard those early exit poll results and figured I'd darn well better put in my 2 cents worth. Now, how much "unconscious" (or even conscious) selection of who to ask may have been done by the exit pollers, AND, how many Repubs would be repelled by a poll done by the MSM? Huh? Huh? Huh!
Two other points: I marked "morality" as the most important issue, but I was thinking "integrity and honor", not "abortion" or anything "religious right" when I marked "morality". Also, I noticed a fascinating question: "Do you think Barack Obama would make a good President?" Sheez - does that tell you where the pollsters are coming from, or what? (And, good grief, the guy's never been more than a State Senator. Ask me again in 12 years... )
NUTCASES UNITE!!!

A secret document obtained from inside Bush campaign headquarters in Florida suggests a plan - possibly in violation of US law - to disrupt voting in the state's African-American voting districts, a BBC Newsnight investigation reveals
I voted Michigan absentee ballot for 20 years while doing my Air Force time. It was a punch card. You take the stylus, which is about like a paper clip wire, and punch it through the number on the punch card, which was backed by a styrofoam sheet. The simple instructions told you to punch all the way through, and then to check to make sure the chad was completely detached.
There are no "dimpled", "pregnant", or "hanging" chads, unless you are illiterate and incompetent, in which case you have no idea what you are voting for anyway, so you're an idiot who will vote for whatever self-destructive crap that comes down the pike. You should be barred from voting, just as a two-year-old should be barred from handling a sharp knife. That whole recount was complete Nonsense, for the umpteenth time, and it's time for you Moveon.org types to get over it and move on. Being stupid is not something you should proclaim to the world, yet you trumpet it to the highest heavens. "I'm stupid! I'm stupid!"
I can appreciate a good argument and an honest one, no matter whose side it benefits but this argument has alot of holes and alot of assumptions. One of the biggest and glaring assumptions (besides the assertion that Republicans control and consciously promote racism in their oversight of all precincts in swing states) is that the Exit Polls are pure as the driven snow and not impeachable whilst the actual vote is not.
Is there a link to this article? I would like to challenge, using my last post, Palast's thesis. He needs to defend this to everyone not just his cheerleaders. These are serious charges and the MSM will eventually come out of hiding in a few days/weeks and start trumpeting this line of thinking...
Funny, the Left says we are all ignorant right-wingers, and yet for their base they largely depend on people they say are too stupid to vote with a punch card!
G'nite, folks -- one more stop over at the SwiftVet site & then I'm hittin' the sack!
And this from the same party that, in last minute desperation in 2000, hired a telemarketing company in Wichita Falls, TX to call Democrat voters in select precincts in Palm Beach County and inform them they may've voted for Bush by mistake. Exit polls are as scientific as online polls.
One DU poster has just suggested that the discovery of fraud would be grounds for impeachment! Remember, Clinton was impeached for what he HIMSELF did, not what his supporters may've done. A President must himself commit the impeachable act.
And at the same time they keep saying that they are the ones with the high IQs.
