65. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
"There are problems with BBV, to be sure, but this is not an instance of the blatent abuse we saw in 2000, as much as we would like to believe so."

In order to say this, honestly, you have to not be paying attention to the information that has been uncovered. Nearly 200,000 votes in Florida that appeared out of thin air (more votes cast than people who showed up in various counties). The same thing happened in Franklin Ohio and in many precincts throughout not only Ohio, but all over the country.

Let's put the conjecture evidence aside (exit polling differential, wacky numbers of dems voting GOP in Florida) and lets JUST look at some cold hard facts.

The phantom votes ALONE should be enough. But, let's go deeper. AT LEAST 2.7% of Ohio ballots were PROVISIONAL. Other states show a FRACTION of that amount. That doesn't strike you as trouble? People waited up to 8 HOURS to vote because there were so few machines in some heavily populated minority districts. That isn't wrong?

None of that is "grasping at straws". The voting problems in this election are FAR WORSE than in 2000 b/c they were done in such a way as to NOT raise obvious problems. In 2000 they at least had the decency to do it out in the open with road blocks and crazy ballots, this time, they are managing to make anyone to investigates it look like they are chasing their tails, but they aren't.

You have to be wearing serious blinders to not see the BLATANT abuse.

Wake up and smell the rotten fish!
