How Ohio pulled it off

Gahanna 1B(Franklin County) had an extra 4000 votes. It was noticed and corrected quickly. I am not aware of any others. The precinct results were available from the Ohio Secretary of State website. When this glitch was first report, I took a look at it. Let me know if you want more specifics, but it was a non-event.

As one who was a Republican poll challenger/observer in a heavily Democratic ward in Akron, I can say with some degree of empirical support that your head is so far up your chute that you must taste Brylcreme when you belch.

How does someone know what a "kerry precinct" is? Just because someone lives in a mostly democratic area doesn't mean they are absolutely going to vote for a democrat. Especially when kerry is the candidate. I knew of many people who voted moral values and not just lock step with the dems.
And as far as not knowing who won Ohio...Bush won of course. By over 135,000 votes. There was no disenfranchisement when they let people vote at 3 a.m. People in Afghanistan walked for days to vote dang it! They were threatened and shot at...GET A LIFE...

And how about all those precincts that reported substantially more votes that registrants?

Until you give specifics with decent sources to back it up, I assume you are a sore loser who is full of crap.

My brother-in-law actually waited 4 hours to vote in the Upper Arlington district (one of the wealthier Columbus, Ohio districts). He didn't get done voting until 10pm.
My 21 year old nephew who was voting for the first time, waited nearly 3 hours as well in the same district. It's not true that only the minority voting districts had long lines.

Another bitter libertarian showing us why the libertarians will never go anywhere.

I read about that one when it was first reported (via shrill screaming from DU land) and then read the followup thread where it was debunked.

Although I'm really getting tired of the "Diebold stole the election for Bush" rants, I'm more than willing to let them play out. They expose the hate filled lunacy of left.

You're a complete idiot and a moron and know nothing about how our voting went here in Ohio if your post was anything but sarcasm.

We have had absolutely NOTHING like what Florida had in 2000 and nobody was denied their right to vote.

There's a reason that Moore skulked out of Ohio on Nov. 2nd right after the polls closed. He could find NOTHING wrong.

"Isn't there something really wrong (vote suppressive) about a lack of machines at a precinct that resulted in 8 to 9 hour waits. Could it be that the reason was to cut down the votes at a likely Kerry precinct because many left in disgust?"

That is a load of CR*P!!

I am a county committee man so I know more about this than YOU.

Each precinct has so many voting machines,no more and no less.A day before the election a representative of each party get together and examine each machine and run a test vote to make sure they work properly.They are then zeroed out and sent out to the precincts.

As far as long lines,RECORD voter turnout.The Republican party made sure everyone realized just what was at stake in this election and they got out and voted!

You guys LOST,get over it!!!

As far as your tag line? Only GOD grants us Freedom of choice.It's elitists like you who try to "Grant" what freedoms you deem we deserve!

[television is just wrong]

Drudge report is reporting that a recount is in the works.

It had nothing to do with a lack of voting machines. The precinct that had those waits was a college area, where a huge number of people showing up weren't registered (color me surprised) -- the process for checking them in for provisional ballots takes much longer than for someone who actually bothered to register.

Ohio To Go Through Statewide Vote Recount After All(Gag)

Take a look at Ohio turnout - 62% Compared to New York 43% and MA 46%

Ny and MA were foregone conclusions and neither side put much effort in getting out the vote and I would assume potential GOP voters in these two states figured it was a lost cause

It is all about the Electoral College

[Ditto]

Libertarians would make alot more sense if y'all would just put down the bongs now and then.

They wouldn't be near as funny then. Besides, do you want to see Willie Green posting articles about big layoffs at Frito-Lay?

[rightwingreligiousfanatic]

Ditto, your tagline: ROFL!

Re: Losertarians (Mike4Freedom): They are no better than Trolls in my view and should be banned from this forum. Are there not forums for Losertarians out there where these poor deluded unrepentant skulls full of mush can commiserate with one another? GET LOST!

-this is old propaganda -why keep rehashing it?
