Can Someone Please Confirm Or Refute These Figures?

[gcomeau]

If they're right I don't know how any argument can be raised against an investigation into massive voter fraud in Florida using the op-scan voting machines.

http://ustogether.org/Florida_Election.htm

Just for example:

Franklin County. 77.3% of voters registered Dems. Only 15.9% registered Reps. 58.5% of the votes reported FOR BUSH???

Holmes County. 72.7% of voters registered Dems. Only 21.3% registered Reps. 77% of the votes reported FOR BUSH???

Calhoun County. 82.4% of voters registered Dems. Only 11.9% registered Reps. 63.4% of the votes reported FOR BUSH???

And on, and on...

Please, someone confirm those numbers aren't bullshit, both the percentages of registered voters in those areas and the reported returns. If that's what actually got reported there's no way around a case for fraud.

If it's already been covered somewhere a link would be appreciated.

1. OMG! This is huge!

2. Here's what I'd do.

The Democrats should initiate a huge canvassing of these counties and get every registered Democrat who voted to sign an affidavit as to who they voted for.

If they actually did vote for Dimson....OK, this at least gives us some insight into the election.

If they voted for Kerry.....well, it really does call into question the validity of the whole election.

3. Looks like the counters were reversed. A vote for Kerry

registered as a vote for Bush.

4. If This Is True... Looks Like Vote Was Reveresed

should I be compiling links to threads with these bizarre anomalies?

5. maybe in Holmes county

the Amish might have turned out to vote. They don't usually vote.

And I'd be very surprised if only 15.9% of Franklin county was republican. I'd expect it to be closer to 50 - 50.

6. The data is correct the analysis is wrong

Those small counties with high Dem rgistration, are Harry Byrd Democrats, they vote southern Dem in locals, and Republican otherwise. Check out Historical data from past presidential elections, these counties always swing Repug despite high dem registration

Despite the registration data, which seems to match something I found here, the counties that seem to have high Dem registration but swing strongly to Bush, have a history of strong Republican voting. So I'm not sure whats going on there.

I found the registraion data here, and it seems to match the ustogether site

But if you look at the 1988 election, many of these counties with high Dem registration, vote for Bush senior in the same manner as 2004

Next is the 1992 election, but remember Ross perot syphoned aff Repug votes, same kind of republican pattern
http://election.dos.state.fl.us/elections/resultsarchive/DetailRpt.Asp?ELECTIONDATE=11/3/92&RACE=PRE&PARTY=&DIST=&GRP=&DATAMODE=

Next is the 1996 election
http://election.dos.state.fl.us/elections/resultsarchive/DetailRpt.Asp?ELECTIONDATE=11/5/96&RACE=PRE&PARTY=&DIST=&GRP=&DATAMODE=

And Finally the 2000 election
http://election.dos.state.fl.us/elections/resultsarchive/DetailRpt.Asp?ELECTIONDATE=11/7/00&RACE=PRE&PARTY=&DIST=&GRP=&DATAMODE=

So despite the High Democratic registration, many of these "Dems" vote Republican.
