Yes, You. All of you folks who, for the last few months, have posted comments about how the fix was in, the Diebold machines were going to steal all the close elections, etc., etc.

I don't have any illusions about the problematic aspects of electronic voting machines, but the notion of an organized effort and ability to adjust vote totals was, quick frankly, a tinfoil hat conspiracy.

Yes, I remember seeing posts saying there'd be war before Nov. 7
Nope, no war.

4. And that Kerry's mangled joke cost us the election
I know some here were salivating over a Democratic loss because it would have given them an excuse to do what they do best: whine, make excuses and point fingers. What will the teeth-gnashers do now that it appears we are well on the way to winning both houses of Congress? :eyes:

5. Uh, I don't see that coming
No offense, but I think the real margins of victory are much larger than the machines report in some places. The first order of business should be to shut the e-voting machines down, for everyone's sake. This will hopefully give the thugs a taste of their own blood enough to make e-voting become an issue for everyone. I don't want a system rigged for us, and definitely not for them - I just want it to be fair. If you think the results are evidence that this one was fair, well, I'm speechless....
