Rove's numbers were "off" because the people were pissed

Despite all of their dirty tricks, the GOP still misunderestimated the foul mood of the electorate and the overwhelming desire for change:

Salon's guide to robo-calls, push polls, vigilantes and other murky dealings from this year's elections.

**In Maryland, Republicans turn Democrat -- and truck in homeless men to spread the word

**In Virginia, voter intimidation

**The Social Security Administration gets into the act

**"Not like in Mexico, here there is no benefit to voting."

**Blood runs thicker than party affiliation

**The robot that called. And called. And called

**Push polls

**The progressive group that wasn't

**Case of the vanished polling place

I mean now that's voter tampering. Camera, notepad and pistol? Scares me.

Clear Evidence 2006 Congressional Elections Hacked
By Rob Kall
OpEd News

Friday 17 November 2006

Results skewed nationwide in favor of Republicans by 4 percent, 3 million votes.
A major undercount of Democratic votes and an overcount of Republican votes in US House and Senate races across the country is indicated by an analysis of national exit polling data, by the Election Defense Alliance (EDA), a national election integrity organization.

These findings have led EDA to issue an urgent call for further investigation into the 2006 election results and a moratorium on deployment of all electronic election equipment.

"We see evidence of pervasive fraud, but apparently calibrated to political conditions existing before recent developments shifted the political landscape," said attorney Jonathan Simon, co-founder of Election Defense Alliance, "so 'the fix' turned out not to be sufficient for the actual circumstances." Explained Simon, "When you set out to rig an election, you want to do just enough to win. The greater the shift from expectations, (from exit polling, pre-election polling, demographics) the greater the risk of exposure - of provoking investigation. What was plenty to win on October 1 fell short on November 7. <"The Math" *wink*>

"The findings raise urgent questions about the electoral machinery and vote counting systems used in the United States," according to Sally Castleman, National Chair of EDA. "This is nothing less than a national indictment of the vote counting process in the United States!"
