20. As a Floridian who has known for years about the rigging...
I knew in my heart that there was a good chance they would do it again. But like many of us who were also aware of the possibility of them rigging the machines again, we worked tirelessly to get as many people out to vote as possible, thinking (hoping, praying, etc.) that if they did rig the machines, we'd have enough votes for Kerry to overcompensate for this. However, as soon as I saw the exit polls changing that night, I knew they had done it again. There was no question in my mind in fact, that they had stolen another election. Sadly it didn't matter how many got out to vote for Kerry-- and they did come out in droves-- it was rigged. Period.

My folding chairs and Move.On signs are still in my trunk by the way, as are the Kerry signs. Guess I'm still in denial on some level or not done mourning the loss of democracy.
