Flashback to Detroit 04

"Craziest thing I've ever seen," said one poll watcher. "They had 100 tables and just five poll watchers trying to monitor them. Every table had a pile of empty ballots. If the machine rejected a ballot, the workers would just take a fresh ballot, fill it in the way they thought the voter wanted (Detroit voted heavily for Kerry), and then put THAT ballot through the machine." The poll watcher also reported unsigned ballots being counted in the machines, a violation of absentee procedures.

McCain will have to win by at least 10% to overcome a Detrit election.

I think the margin of fraud is about 1-2%. The Dems know it. In 2004, Bush lost Pennsylvania by 145,000 votes, 2.5% of the total. In Philadelphia, he lost by 300,000 votes, double the statewide win margin, and "received" 100,000 votes to Kerry's 400,000. Nearly all the fraud happened there. I've seen analyses showing that at maximum 50-75,000 votes could be fraudulent. So Bush probably didn't lose PA because of fraud, but in a 1% race it would tip the scales.

Ditto for Missouri. Maybe in Michigan?

That's why they're always trying to extend precinct voting times only in black districts. That's why they do it only a couple of hours before the polls close, when all the decent suburbanites have already done their voting duty and gone home to dinner. Because then the suburbanites don't demand open polls in their own precincts. And the inner city black precinct workers have more time to, ahem, perpetuate their fraud.
