1. It happened once and coud happen again

Was it in 2000, or 2004? Anyway, that was the year the polls were shockingly wrong. Except they weren't wrong. The media was all excited by the fact that exit polling failed to predict the winners in certain states. And it turned out those states were using Diebold electronic voting machines. The data tracked almost perfectly. Anyplace a Diebold machine was used, the results were at odds with the exit polling. And guess which way the results tipped? I'm not even going to insult your intelligence by giving you the answer. Of course, the Republicans divert attention away from the real problem of election theft by proposing we need special IDs to prevent illegal Mexicans from voting five times each.
