Votes flipping
I have yet to hear of someone going to vote for a Republican candidate and it flipping to the Democratic candidate.
Who would be the neutral party to oversee elections in this country?

3. Well, a study was conducted.
There were some "glitches" that favored Democrats, but the ratio is ridiculous (95% favor Repukes, 5% favor Dems).

read it here yesterday when a certain DUer wanted to make it look like voting errors were more or less equal (not even close).

Here is a link to the post where I read it.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=455194&mesg_id=455296

Too bad that poster didn't provide a link, either. But I believe the assertion. Read the whole thread.

There is also this from RFK's article:

"But what is most anomalous about the irregularities in 2004 was their decidedly partisan bent: Almost without exception they hurt John Kerry and benefited George Bush."

RFK says that a few errors favored Kerry, but overwhelmingly they favored Bush. If we frame our argument to be "none of the errors favored Kerry", then we leave ourselves open to refutation if a single example can be given. However, everyone can agree that 90+% favoring Bush is anomalous and warrants great suspicion.

4. Maybe John Bolton will ask the U.N. to get involved.

6. They set the default that way on purpose
Anyone who gets that sort of message on a machine needs to demand a provisional paper ballot. Make a big enough stink right in their local polling station that this shit ends once and for all.

7. Correct
I keep trying to tell my son about the election machine fraud. He says what a lot of the dumb asses are saying (he is intelligent but dumb know what I mean). Well I told him about the Florida thing. I said you keep saying the republicans can't fix all those machines well look at this. AND I told him, how come the machines don't change over from republican votes to democrats. No where have you seen that. And he is now looking at a lot of the reports on the net and has changed him mind. It is a shame that the media never ever does it's job. As I posted before the democrats missed the boat when they let the republicans buy up the media.
