13. I truly think its the voting machines....
There are so many anamolies in the results that we simply have to get all of the computer machines thrown out. On small elections, the GOP doesn't risk being caught, but on the larger ones, they do what needs to be done.

The day before the 2002 Senate election in Georgia, Max Cleland (Vietnam vet, and triple amputee and very popular senator) was ahead in the polls anywhere from 8 to 12 points, depending on the poll. His opponent, who had attacked Cleland for being unpatriotic, was given no chance to win. Nonetheless, a last minute fix to several thousand voting machines, and an unexplained surge in last minute votes took the election from Cleland for the GOP. Three elections in the same county in Texas ended up with a margin of 18181 for three GOP candidates. Voting machines in Santa Clara county in CA were contacted via wireless transmissions during voting on 3 occasions. Machines are sold by republican operatives and campaign contributers.

This is happening all over the country.

Only written handwritten ballots, locked and sealed ballot boxes, and Dem observers of the counting are going to stop these "anomalies," that always are in the favor of the GOP candidate.

Otherwise, we'll keep getting the GOP, who is cheating, and getting us to pay for its cheating with our tax dollars.

"Those who cast the votes decide nothing.
Those who count the votes decide everything."
