How soon we forget! The 2000 elections were beset by EXACTLY the same problems, remember it led the MSM to call the state of Florida for Gore before the polls had closed in all of the state? I have said frequently that I thought it was far from an honest mistake, or computer problem, that it was a deliberate ploy by someone to trick the networks into calling the state, albeit incorrectly, and thereby interfere with the election. I would start by finding out who worked the Florida stats for 2000 and then see if any of them were on the team for 2004.
In 2000, the MSM didn't need t be tricked - they were in on it and did it deliberately as it had worked for them in the past...but they hadn't been so blatant about it...
