Bruz,
I've been waiting for the day a REAL report on the 2000 Presidential race comes out, specifically, the rampant voter fraud.
St. Louis polls closing late. Astronomical turnout rates in the big cities.
Gore averaged some 25-50,000 more votes in places like Philadelphia than Clinton did in either '92 or '96 and the expected rates of turnout were the reason Bush said on election night that he did not accept the TV predictions about Florida and Pennsylvania.
They, the Bush candidacy, had done better in key Pennsylvania districts than they planned as being necessary, same with the early returns from Florida.
They strategized, like all election strategies of any party do, that if opponent candidate "a" of party "b" should average about "x" votes in particular districts based on recent history (prior elections), then using the same expectations your own guy from party "d" should, based on recent history, get around "y" votes from competing districts.
So, the goal becomes to get "y" amount plus some comfortable number more that should cover what the other candidate should get plus their efforts to increase turnout like you are doing, allowing for whatever margin of error seems prudent.
Bush got something like 150,000 votes in some counties that they figured they needed 100,000 or 65% turnouts where they hoped for 60% or so for that margin to win Florida. The had allowed for something like Gore getting up to 65%-70% turnout in his strong precincts.
Keep in mind that the national average was barely over 50%.
Gore got 80-85% turnout in districts that had NEVER, even with Clinton, come close to those kinds of rates.
Start adding up 25-50,000 votes per major city that are rather dubious based on historical turnout rates and, viola, the 1/2 mil Gore popular margin. That’s why Gore wouldn’t quit. Bush knew he’d done enough to win a fair contest, reasonably along the voter turnout numbers. Gore knew he’d done enough to steal it, never mind how outrages and implausible the numbers needed to be made. What went wrong!?
Ever notice how the cities always seem to close last? That's so they know how many votes they need.
Several reporters were looking into reporting the rampant fraud in Chicago in 1960 and were scared off locally, intimidated into letting it go. One said he was told he would be killed.
Of course, democrats don’t want to hear about this and would never help looking into it, but these highly suspicious events are probably the largest threat to our liberty going today, for everybody.
Dubious election outcomes, like they way guns and cigarettes are being attacked, well, the people doing it and supporting it never seem to be able to see that they are setting the stage for the same thing being done to them. They are ruining the legal protection for us all.
I wonder how many deceased votes will be placed in New Jersey?
