1. It would be easy to move Kerry votes into other categories, too.
Hm.

I just plain don't trust voting machines.

Paper.

Pen.

X marks the candidate and/or proposition.

Count the votes (watched by reps of all parties).

Publish the results.

Period.

2. That's not why I posted. Say these results are legitimate without BBV
issue. NC voters did not vote Bush in. How many other so-called Southern Red States show that the voters went for third party candidates and if Kerry had those votes he would have won handily.

5. Adding those #s together doesn't change the totals significantly
Koko01 needs to recheck her math.....what are we missing here?
