Concerning Voters Leaving Polling Places in Ohio

Edited on Fri Nov-26-04 03:25 PM by Stand and Fight
Hey folks... I was just sitting here mulling over something. I'm sure you've all read the testimony of voters in Ohio being turned off by the long lines. You know, the stories of as much as 75 people leaving their voting places over the course of the election day. Let's just say that out of Ohio 11,300 precincts just -- and I'm making a liberal estimate here -- 25% of those are democratic strongholds. Okay, so that leaves a total of 2,825 precincts are democratic strongholds. That being said, let's say that ONLY 30 people leave the line during the course of a voting day. This equates to Mr. Kerry losing some 84,750 votes if 100% of those voters who left had voted for Mr. Kerry. Jesus Christ!! 84,750 fucking votes! And that is with only 30 people leaving during the course of election day for whatever reason after not having cast a ballot. We all know that there are surely more than just 25% of the precincts in Ohio that are democratic strongholds. I'd never given much credence or thought to the reports of people leaving their polling places; however, having done this very elementary math, the implications of just 30 people leaving are scary. Plus we already know that in some precincts more than 30 people left.... What do you think? What are the actual numbers of Democratic precincts in Ohio? This is without ANY voter fraud whatsoever -- this is just with too few voting machines being in Democratic precincts. Weigh in here folks....
