Read and remember.
Did they use electronic voting machines with no paper trail?
Something stinks big-time on the res. This same scenario played itself out on the special election for Congress June 1st. Shannon and Todd county voted for Herseth at a 96% rate. Diedrich was ahead til 2AM. Something going bump in the night? It's probably a rat.
Why is it whenever there are allegations of voter fraud it is always against Democrats and not Republicans?
I'm believing more and more the core of the Rats is immoral and vile.
I believe you are correct. I think that the left has thrown out the last of any ethics they ever had.
However, they screwed up the fix. Ha!
Yep. I had the same gut-wrenching feeling that the last two counties were being held while they estimated how many they would need in order to get the narrow win. Also, similarly, the next day they trotted out canards about minorities being disenfranchised and have every media and election official so petrified of being thought racist that they are scared to even investigate. Democrats here had the racist label ready to go and were just waiting for someone/anyone to suggest skullduggery.
What I'm afraid of is this kind of shady stuff going nationwide this year. Especially in light of Kerry already giving away the gameplan by announcing last year they were "training" lawyers that would be deployed to every major voting area in the country to "watch out" for voter fraud.
The nightmare scenario is the RATS trying to steal the vote again this year...not just in one state but SEVERAL states and it will make the delay from 2000 look like a minor thing.
And it will happen almost exclusively in counties with high minority populations, because having that handy to fight investigation is invaluable.
I don't know and it appears that it didn't matter. The SD RATS did nothing to hide their illegal activity and bullyed anyone who tried to call them on it.
It was shameless voter fraud right out in the open with the RATS daring anyone to stop them.
Sometimes you have to be about the Integrity of the process. And shame on those in the administration and GOP who talked him out of it. When is the GOP going to be an organization with Tusks instead of just jowly cheeks?

Well you can bet that ANY time you hear a RAT talking about a "fair vote"...what they have in mind is ANYTHING but fair.
Right and wrong, on one hand he should have demanded a full investigation, because I have little doubt irregularities would have been found. On the other hand, he knew that if they weren't found, or if he was unsuccessful at convincing people of his altruistic motives for doing it, it would have damaged his reputation beyond repair. Thune was used to winning by a large margin, and I assume his thinking was to wait and run an election where his margin was beyond the point where fraud could tip it. It's hard to say if his thinking was correct or not.
" On the other hand, he knew that if they weren't found, or if he was unsuccessful at convincing people of his altruistic motives for doing it, it would have damaged his reputation beyond repair"
Not to mention that the RAT attack machine would have been out in full force screaming about another "stolen" election.
And, in addendum, I don't think he should have run for that job. He wanted to be governor, and it's hard to run for something you didn't really want with a passion. That's not to say he wouldn't make a great Senator, but he should have followed his heart, and let the chips fall.
Isn't he (Thune) going after Daschole's job this year?
should have done this that night
IMHO...we should ALL bookmark this story and read it again on election night this year. It's stayed in the back of my mind every since I read it in Iraq last year.
Yes, and I hope he wants it more this time.
