[NRaleighLiberal]

2. Wow....holy shit.

[Mojorabbit]

20. Sae here. Even the republicans I know voted for Crist. Unbelievable. nt

[hollysmom]

21. SooOOOoo what are you thinking here?

[Mojorabbit]

25. I am just in shock. I really cannot believe he won. nt

[hollysmom]

27. I can't believe any of them won and there ws more voter activity -

they are mad all mad,

There was a science fiction story that I do believe is coming true.
Asimov wrote it. It was about a world where there were tools that helped people work and survive, There were doctors that had knives that would cut through tissue but pushing arteries and veins aside so they were not cut when they operated. There were tools for all careers and off on the side were the techies - the poor "uneducated" techies that fixed the tools and invented more but weren't "smart" enough to be doctors The world seemed to get dumber and dumber but some kept their wits about them and made it possible to survive. reminds me of today.

[titaniumsalute]

17. Living here IS a nightmare...and I'm awake

[Mr.Bill]

5. Amazing how people can be conned into voting for a criminal.

There's lots of good people in Florida. I can't believe the morons who voted for this crook.

[targetpractice]

6. There is something seriously wrong with the process...

Polling that convinces us to think that everything is a toss-up makes it easy to steal control. We are conditioned to think, "Oh, well. It was a close race." But, in reality our democracy is being stolen from us using technicalities engineered by Republican legislators.

8. Personally I think a lot of cheating was happening all over.

Brainwashing, denying voting, cheating, flipping, you name it.

[SummerSnow]

10. Cheating in Florida

[GGJohn]

11. Link?

Any proof?

[SummerSnow]

12. No link, but this is what the Rethugs do in Florida

[onehandle]

7. Assholes like assholes. nt

[EEO]

9. Florida and Texas should be disowned.

[defacto7]

13. If only one state could have voting fraud...

it would be Florida.

[workinclasszero]

14. Florida WTF????

[deurbano]

15. Unbelievable. I would say WTF is wrong with Florida....

but I'm from the state that gave the country Reagan.

Crappy, crappy night.

[blackspade]

16. Wow, just when I thought KY voters were the dumbest...

[Nativechef]

18. Look at the break down.

Take a moment and look at the break down of how each county in Florida voted and you'll see a huge pattern. The counties that voted predominately for Scott are POOR with the exception of Collier and Lee in the southwest and Duvall in the northeast. Every election cycle we see the same pattern, the poor counties vote to keep themselves poor repeatedly.

[hollysmom]

22. so could that mean they are bought off or tht it is easy to commit fraud where people do not

have the assets to complain?

My sister in NC says that she has republicans for friends or she would have not friends, but basically they vote who the preacher tells them to vote for. it is easy to by off the ministers.

[Nativechef]

28. In a word

FEAR. People, especially in poor counties, will vote against their own best interests out of FEAR.

[hollysmom]

30. agreed

[trublu992]

[Odin2005]
