5. Recounting paper ballots in Florida will not make a big difference
Our election was rigged in the machines. That's why Bev Harris and BBV has been demanding access to the black boxes- to audit the machines. Most of our fraud happened internally, although they certainly demonstrated varying amounts of suppression (pre-election directed to wards minorities) and overall incompetence - "misplacing" thousands of absentee ballots then resending them 2 days before the election (Broward), not "realizing" that when you send out 110,000 absentee ballots you could wind up with 100,000 returned which means you need extra staff to count them (Miami), universities not provided with ample voting machines causing huge lines, (and students not getting to vote), early voting lines of up to 3 hours in some areas, etc. There were lots of voting machine problems however, and many of us believe there are clear indications of fraud. People tried to vote for Kerry and the vote switched over to Bush (indicating defaults might have been pre-set as they had in 2002), bizarre exit poll numbers VS "final" numbers and the statistical impossibility of Bush receiving anywhere near how many votes he allegedly received, but the only way to understand whether this was human error, fraud or technical "glitches" is by auditing the codes.
But remember, our state is run by a Bush so whatever they did, is going to be well hidden and not easy to detect. Not impossible however, and with the reports from Clint Curtis and others, it will come out. It's just a matter of time.
