> Just watched Keith Olbermann on MSNBC in which he did a story on
> election problems. He said that there were 90,000 more votes cast in
> Ohio than registered voters (he went through a list of counties and
> said how many voters were registered in each and how many extra
> thousands of votes were recorded).
>
> He reported how in Florida counties, heavily-leaning dem counties went
> overwhelmingly for Bush -- the first time these counties have ever
> voted Repub. He showed charts with numbers, etc., it was very
> compelling.
>
> He said that all the irregularities in Florida and Ohio have happened
> in counties using non-paper-trail e-voting from the companies run by
> Bush's friends.
>
> He interviewed a reporter from the Cincinnati paper who discussed how
> homeland security barred reporters from witnessing the voting in some
> of the major minority areas in town, that this was the first time the
> press was ever kept out of and barred from witnessing the voting. The
> Sec of State in Ohio says that it was under orders from Bush's
> Homeland Security chief, who said that these cities in Ohio were under
> a highly increased threat of terrorism during the election. For this
> reason, only one entrance was open for the voting in these (largely
> democratic) areas, and the press was barred from coming in to see the
> voting, or to have the usual offices in the building they have had in
> every past year.
>
> Olbermann then had Rep. John Conyers on and there are a dozen or so
> representatives demanding an investigation from the GAO. So it's
> Chicago-style voting taken to a national level -- the GOP dead vote,
> the GOP takes away votes from Dems and turned them into Bush votes,
> and they just add extra votes (for pres, not on the other issues or
> candidates) to the totals.
>
> In Florida where Bush scored big, on the same ballots Democratic
> measures scored big, such as making a Florida minimum wage $1 above
> the federal level. In other words, all these people voted for Bush AND
> voted to pass these Democratic measures, which the GOP had tried to
> defeat. So this indicates that only the presidential election voting
> was rigged, they didn't rig the rest of the voting form.

> Looks like maybe we're going to get some sort of investigation into
> the fraud that's gone down after all, even if Kerry caved in.
>
> Also, some counties in Ohio where the press has always been allowed to
> inspect figures from voting -- have been taken away and they're not
> allowed to view them. They're filing something in court to force the
> Sec of State to release them for public review.
>
> Also, one heavily-Dem county in Florida discovered a huge stack of
> absentee ballots that had not been counted and told the Sec of State's
> office about the ballots and said they would count them -- and the Sec
> of State told them to hold on, and then came and took the ballots
> away, so the officials in that county were never able to count them.
