TIA responds: So, this is a "content-free" thread?

I was just over at Pollster.com perusing a series of threads regarding comparing Generics and individual congressional polls. The analysis and prose were very impressive, but something very fundamental was missing. I kept looking for any mention of the word: F-R-A-U-D. Why do you and your fellow analysts at pollster.com NEVER once even consider F-R-A-U-D as an explanation for the vote/poll discrepancies?

Not to mention the failure to consider the discussing a few of the recorded instances of machine/software problems ("hacking" and "glitches") which muck-up the vote counts. Such as the missing 18,000 votes in FL-13 heavily Democratic precincts.

"Hear no evil, see no evil" seems to be a common theme, not only at pollster.com, but also of Charlie Cook, Chris Bowers, Ruy Texeira and many other polling "experts". In fact, some have even DISMISSED the notion of fraud. Hell, just take a look at all the DU posts in this forum for the specific horror stories.

And you call THIS a content-free thread?

SO, OTOH, PLEASE ANSWER THIS ONE QUESTION DIRECTLY:

HOW COME THE FRAUD FACTOR IN ELECTION 2006 WAS NEVER DISCUSSED?
IS IT FOR THE SAME REASON IT WAS NEVER DISCUSSED IN 2004? OR 2002? OR 2000?
