... the "provisional" votes that voters were required to fill out when there were precinct screw-ups--I think there are substantial numbers of those, particularly in crowded precincts. I hope they might change the results, but, given the numbers, I don't think they will.

The electronically-tabulated votes, particularly in those counties where Diebold machines are located, even if they were completely futzed with, can't make up the differences shown in the vote tally as of 3:40 a.m. PDT.

I think this election, barring some other evidence of serious fraud in those places with punched ballots, or printed ballots, is the will of the people of California.

I'd like not to believe that, but I still think it's true. Again, look at my original post--I address the media's influence in this, for the most part.

One doesn't have to fix the vote, if one has first fixed people's minds....

Horrifying as that may sound, it is still a truth.

Election fraud works well when it nudges the close votes. This was not a close vote. At 3:53 a.m. PDT, with 95.4% of precincts reporting, the spread is 8.2 points.

If there are 1.5 million uncounted "provisional" votes tomorrow, I hope the people in California scream bloody murder if they're not counted, because that number would be 30% of the total votes counted, and if they aren't counted, there should be riots in the streets.

If that number of provisional ballots is much smaller, they won, and Democrats lost, and Democrats lost because platitudes from a celluloid automaton counted for more than what Democrats could say to the voters, and that's a sad day, indeed.

Cheers.
