What precincts didn't require an I. D. to vote?

[lthuedk]

And, have these precincts' totals been analyzed?

These precincts might have been predetermined for "emergency activation," if Bush was lagging. Vast numbers of polyvoters could be instantly activated in many precincts, and no special programming of the tabulators would be needed at all.

Imagine a pyramid scheme networking using simple email (10 X 10 X 10, etc)started with a single sender. Within minutes, 10s of thousands would receive their marching orders to return to certain precincts.

We who speculate on machine code manipulations might, in fact, might have been manipulated.

Wildly speculative? Of course! Possible?

1. The whole state of Fla now requires ID

My understanding (by no means infallible) is that only new voters who registered by mail are required to show ID. The Supervisor of Elections office, however, was telling everyone to show one. I voted absentee, so I don't know if they insisted on ID for everyone at the polls or how many people were turned away for not having a driver's license. If anyone has information on this, I would very much like to know.

2. you can bet that more ids were asked for in poor and minority

communities.

8. Exactly!

> more ids were asked for in poor and minority

That's why demanding ridiculous and excessive requirements to vote is so wrong. Any sort of hoops to jump through in the name of accountability are wrong. Period. Next thing you know, the repukes will want us to prove we're wealthy enough to own land before we vote. Hey, I've already heard that one from several guys I know that are lucky enough to be one of the few people I know that own land or their own house.

3. In Kansas it seems that

only the first time voters were required to show ID. Anyone who'd voted before and was on the voter lists should have protested mightily against showing ID.

I voted by mail myself.

4. NC requires a signature

but I have heard that some people had to have an ID and other people didn't even have to sign the voter rolls!

5. Not requiring ID is not the same as not requiring

the voter to be REGISTERED. First you'd have to get your "polyvoters" on the books. Our local voter reg office lets some stuff slip through, but not a lot. Then these "polyvoters" would need to sign the poll books, which would be detectable.

What you describe is old-fashioned ballot box stuffing. Could be done, but difficult, involves lotsa people, and hacking would just be easier IMO.

6. So, instead to contacting programmers, Turdblossum sends one email.

There was an article in the Riverside Press Enterprise which touches on such issues as ghost voting and polyvoting, but requires registration:

7. Look at the Absentee ballots

and the Inactive Voter lists. Those are the people who probably had their identies stolen.
