indeed. the hidden story on the election story of 2000 was that WI was stolen. milwaukee is a hotbed of fraud.
GWB lost by less that the fraudulent votes.
Of course there was a lot of interest in the union protests, but that doesn't account for the same high numbers in 2008.
Remember the election gal that gave the wrong numbers out (to the AP which then uses them to make early calls)? Her error from looking at a written list v another list had the race going to the Dem judge, so when she reviewed it and the new numbers were sent, all hell broke loose because the Rep judge was ahead and was the eventual winner. Many feel her error stopped rampant fraud because they believed that they had already won, when they were losing.
