Okay, If Diebold is fucking with the numbers, in who's favor?
Are they depressing Obama's numbers cuz they fear running against him?

Are they depressing Clinton's numbers cuz they fear running against her?

Are they out to get "The Clintons"?

Are they out to help "THE CLINTONS"

Are T H E C L I N T O N S really controlling the numbers?

Are the Bildebergs controlling the vote and it is The Democrat's turn and they're picking the winner?

Maybe the Illuminati?

I can't keep my conspiracies straight any more.

16. Watergate was a conspiracy
the Arellanos were recently convicted in federal court and one of the charges was conspiracy.

The problem is that the word has been dirtied by the US media... but conspiracies are VERY REAL and they happen every day...

Lemme see, the Cosa Nostra engaged in them regularly

Enron was one, even if the charge was never actually filed...

And I could go on.

2. It could be as simple as to make the actual numbers unpredictable
so that when they steal the election in November, we'll already be used to having odd results (I mean, again)

5. LOL
if I were prone to such things, there may be an argument 'they' are helping the Clintons so as not to waste all that effort they spent digging up dirt on them

:hide:

6. CUI BONO, who benefits?
by the way, the evidence for futzing in US elections did not start tonight and the MACHINES USED have that particular flaw... in the firmware

Sorry if I have to give some credence to this.

13. CUI BONO come right back to my OP .... before the snark at the end ......
Who benefits?

Clinton cuz she won? That's an obvious possibility.

Maybe too obvious.

So maybe the beneficiary is the Republicans in general cuz they think she's easier to beat than Obama.

Or maybe .......

My point is, there's no way to discern the real winner if there was cheating.

15. The obvious answer is NOT clinton, though it is staring you in the face
Edited on Wed Jan-09-08 01:44 AM by nadinbrzezinski
the media.

They live for close races.

Also they do need a corporatist and they have been playing king maker since oh Reagan... at least.

I hate to point this out but they don't like no populist on EITHER side of the aisle, but a tight race in the democratic party will keep eyeballs on screens and ratings will benefit... which can be sold to corporations for commercial space

That is one of the winners.

And the other obvious one... the GOP still believes she is their best chance to beat the dems to the White House.

No snark... just them facts.

And given the history since 2000 I don't expect to have my vote counted as I cast it... but damn it, they will have to work to steal it. That is the other truth. Oh and don't expect the media to cover all the evidence (extensive as it is right now) on GOP caging operations.. WHY? And they have been forbidden to do this by a judge... which falls neatly in the term conspiracy as defined by the law...

Now if you want to use the word cynic, guilty as charged, very much so... and I also know that one way to defeat these caging operations and other dirty tricks is to show up en-masse

18. You realize that you're snaking at the same group of people
who called the fraud in OH before anyone else did. A case in which there have now been indictments.
