(42,770 posts)15. Tinfoilhat.
Shortly after election night in 2004, We all were upset and astounded that Kerry could have lost Florida. Impossible. Kerry was ahead in pre-election poll. Something is seriously fishy.
Tinfoilhat had downloaded all the Florida precinct data along with Gore numbers from 2000. She found a connection, an anomoly. Bush, in 2004, had mysteriously "won" by close to the exact #s/margins Gore achieved in 2000 like it was planned. IOW..it was rigged and they thought if they used Gore margins, it would not be questioned.
The last I heard of tinfoilhat was that night, shortly after election. She told us she was gonna stay up late and crunch more #s.
I never heard from.her again nor saw a post here again.

I think it was more about people constantly pretending she personally attacked them.
