2. Perhaps anti-Bush voters are more vocal, or easier to approach,
Or there's always BBV

22. Are Kerry people really going to tell a stranger how they voted.
The Bush police state has been so successful in making anyone against Bush painted as "unAmerican" "traitorous" "treasonous" "unGodly" that I know many who were afraid to even disclose they were for Kerry at their job-site for fear of reprisal from employers. Many didn't put up Kerry/Edwards signs on their lawns or on their vehicles for fear of vandalism. They gave in to the "brownshirts" who hijacked the Republican Party.

Do you really think scared people are going to report how they voted to a stranger? What is being reported is mostly from EXIT polling, not the actual votes cast.

24. Two Presidential elections in a row?
The exit polls say Gore ... no, no ... mistake?

Exit polls say Kerry ... WH says 4-5% off ...

It stinks.

8. DIEBOLD. What else could account for a 3% discrepancy.
I just hope someone goes over those numbers with a fine tooth comb.

10. I'm inclined to think perhaps the exit polling was right

13. When elections are stolen exit polls will differ from the "results".
Edited on Tue Nov-02-04 11:45 PM by w4rma
Exit polls can act as a type of canary in the mineshaft on voter fraud.

15. lots of disenfrachisement
it was stolen again, plain and simple. very simple. All they had to do was tweak FL, OH, CO, and it's over. I won't trust another election in this country.

19. we'll have to compare areas using Diebold equipment with areas using
ballots with a paper trail before we will know.

That is, if you want to know.

25. Maybe it wasn't so fucked up. Mayb the problem is with the vote
tallying. It's difficult not to come to that conclusion.
