55.  Can you corroborate or refute the following Arnebeck quote from your view
34. Can you corroborate or refute the following Arnebeck quote from your view:

COLMES: Was there a purposeful lack of machines in black urban areas and more machines in Republican suburban areas? Was that on purpose?
From Hanity and Colmes yesterday:

ARNEBECK: Yes.

COLMES: How do you know?

ARNEBECK: From the evidence.

COLMES: What evidence?

ARNEBECK: The -- Well, there's a spreadsheet that they have where they show that they reduced the number of machines in the black and high performance Democratic precincts and increased machines in the -- in the Republican precincts. And you can see this graphically.
