The issue that I have never seen addressed by the media is the several thousand votes Gore picked up in the second machine count. For this to happen is an absolute statistical impossibility. The Florida vote was in the millions and the errors in a machine count would cancel each other out in a second machine count of this size. The difference between the first and second should have been within a few tens of votes not hundreds and for damn sure not thousands. There was with out any doubt massive vote fraud on the second machine count. The cards in the first machine count had either been altered or the additional cards were added between the first and second machine count.
Zogby is probably the best damn statistician in political circles and has been known to lurk at this site. I do wish he would address this issue.
The cards in the first machine count had either been altered or the additional cards were added between the first and second machine count. My thoughts exactly. The only other possibility is that for some reason, democrats tended to misvote in such a way that upon recount, their votes DiD get counted. Maybe Dems, being old folks, or just being stupid people, didnt punch their chads all the way out more often than the Repubs.. then by the second go around the chads had managed to drop out on their own.. yeah, I know.. far fetched.. I think even Occam would agree that FRAUD is more likely..
