Strange that the exit polls where black box voting
was used only agreed with the actual vote where paper records were made by the machines...in all other cases there was a 5% discrepancy...always in Bush's favor....

and

the narrowness of his base is striking. The majority of Bush's support – 88 percent – came from whites. He lost African Americans nine to one. Asians nearly two to one. Efforts to woo Hispanics earned all of 40 percent of their votes. Only in the South did Bush win a majority – losing the popular vote in the East, the Midwest and the West.

3. if you believe
it was stolen, as I do, it's time to act. Check out what blackboxvoting.org is doing and help out. Watch the video and sign up for the Cleanup Crew.

4. someone should really put all the exit polls
Edited on Thu Nov-04-04 06:39 AM by morgan2
county by county in ohio together..

set it up as detailed as possible.. Precint by precint if that data is available.

If there is a clear fluxuation in the precints with diebold machines away from the exit polls that is signifigantly larger than the swing in non Diebold precints, than we have something.

on edit: anyone know where i could get this information?

5. when you control the software....have live modems...no paper trail...
it is soooooooooooo obvious they can steal the votes necessary to win and know there is no way in hell to get the truth. The prefect white collar crime.

The only saving grace is....now shrub is going to pay for his mistakes. Nobody is coming in behind him in Jan. to clean up his mess.
Feel the heat george.

6. Not strange at all. We should have expected BBV fraud.
I think Greg Palast was trying to tell us all that this was coming. AGAIN. Fool that I am, I went blissfully along, believing that this election would not be close enough to steal.

bu$h's handlers were one step ahead of me: the Black Boxes would ensure that it didn't matter how wide Kerry's margin was; the election would be stolen anyway, thankyouverymuch, and there ain't shit you can do about it.

The fraud this time has also assured that the subject of exit polls will never be broached again.

:freak:

7. exit polls are generally accurate, what many folks fail to remember is ...
Edited on Thu Nov-04-04 08:26 AM by UNIXnutt
... they're an accurate stratified sample of the population of that particular precinct or east-coast precincts. When Drudge released the the early exit-poll info that our guy was leading, is was a sample of heavily populated liberal county precincts where we would expect to be in a comfortable lead.

... Once the hubbub hit the Internet, you'll notice Drudge didn't report any longer. Why? Because if they showed an accurate sampling it would have started showing * trends as the polls opened across the mid-west and red bible-belt states.
