I've wondered the same thing. I don't believe this voting scam could have been more transparent. I saw Mark Shields after the GA fiasco remarking how amazing it was and even mentioning, if I'm not mistaken, that it was the first time the Diebold machines had been used statewide. Yet he just seemed to gloss it over and go on. Couldn't these guys get the significance of this? I did just a little Google search about the GA 02 election. I thought maybe turn-out was down or there was some reason to explain it, but no, Blacks and voters in general turned out in droves according to a couple newspaper accounts at the time of the election. And the exit polls I believe showed strongly Dem results (I'm not sure of this since these exit polls are no longer available. The note about it says that there were serious problems with them. Evidently, when they showed such wide disparities from the machine count, the obvious conclusion was that the polls had to be wrong. In any case, I don't think they are available anymore. Barnes had an 11% pt lead 4 days before the election; Cleland, a 5% lead. Barnes lost by 5% pts, Cleland by 8%, absolutely impossible numbers. Add to all that the fact that this was a mid-term election and the usual time for the opposition party to show gains, and voila. What could be clearer?
