A simple Google search would have shown Moby that President Bush won each of those counties in 2000 as well. But, I guess simple is still too complicated for idiot lefties who live in denial!
Here, let's give the tin-foil over at the DUmpster really something to chew on.
If there was vote fraud that favored Bush, I will bet you kooks that Hillary's fingerprints are all over it!!!!!
Same in Oklahoma,.. Oklahoma has 50% Dems, 25% Repubs, 25% Indy, yet it goes to Republicans 65-35 every 4 years.
First of all, the author/and/or poster don't appear to know the difference between an optical scanning voting machine and an electronic voting machine. The optical scanning voting machine reads a paper ballot so, DUHHHH, there is a paper trail. There is also credible discussion that optical scanning machines are the most reliable, both in technology and because of the back-up ballots.
Secondly, as has been required to post on this site far too often, yes Virginaia, people in rural Southern counties register as Democrats and vote Republican at the top of the ticket, as these counties have been doing for years. I was stunned, as a loyal young Republican, to find that my own parents had been registered Democrats for years. Why do we keep having to listen to this nonsense. This argument is basically that W won counties that Bush and Bush have won previously, but by a bigger margin than in 2000, so theirs somethingwrong. By this logic, New Hamshire was stolen because Bush did worse than 4 years ago. That's the whole point, guys, Bush did better in Florida than he did in 2000, and worse in New Hampshire. It's called campaiging, It's why we have elections every four years instead of just re-ratifying previous results. Get used to it.
Next, Osceola county reports 82,195 voters on their wepage and 82,178 on the SofS webpage. I don't see the 63,000 number anywhere, except (approximately) as the number of votes on down-ballot races. Remember, even the skeptical media now admit that people (even some Freepers) spun themselves into a corkscrew over 90,000+ "overvotes" in Cuyahoga County, Ohio that didn't really exist because nobody took the time to READ and UNDERSTAND how the data were displayed on the webpage.
Finally, I know in the case of the South Florida counties, and I suspect in the case of the Dixicrat counties, the elections offcials are mostly Democrats.
Lord God Almighty let me tell the news
my head got wet in midnight dew
great God i been down on my bended knees
talking to a man from galilee
michael spoke and he sound so sweet
i thought i heard the shuffle of angels' feet
He put one hand upon my head
great God Almighty let me tell you what He said
go tell that lonesome liar
go tell that midnight rider
tell the gamblin', ramblin' backslider
tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down
you might run on for a long time
run on, ducking and dodging
run on, for a long time
let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down
you might throw your rock, hide your head
work in the dark with your fellow men
sure as God made you rich and poor
you're gonna reap just what you sow
some people go to church just to sit in the fire
trying to make a date with a neighbor's wife
brother let me tell you just as sure as you're born
you better leave that woman alone
This says it all.
LOL. No Howard County in Ohio. The Ohio State University law school article referred to is about Missouri.
Excuse me, sir. I have been looking for a place to ask a question and hope you'll pardon the interjection.
Whatever happened to disenfranchisement? A million blacks not allowed to vote in the 2000 election, etc. Thousands of Dem lawyers posted all over FLA waiting to jump on a first complaint and so on. Has there been ONE report of disenfranchisment? If it didn't happen anywhere, shouldn't that be news?
My apologies. Rant mode off. Return thread to normal discussion.
I hate leftists conspiracy theorists as much as you do.
Moby wrote that shit. I just posted it.
This whole thing is really getting pretty funny. They are just extending my Get out the Gloat drive. :)
Easy Moby, easy...
