The story about Ohio ballot fraud came from DU'ers

You guys all realize that, right? Some DU poster found it, posted it, and a bunch of us called and wrote emails.

But the bigger stuff is in Florida. Looks like Bev is on this, but hopefully we can push this into the press as well. I have been posting this all morning.

Flordia ballots show huge (and I mean HUGE) numbers of DEMS supposedly voting for Bush in very Dem counties. The spreadsheet linked below has the data, and was done by someone else (Kathy Dopp). But we checked it and it's true.

So, my partner spent hours crunching numbers last night and there is no doubt - they stole FL. Trust me, we are NOT the conspiracy theorist types, and even on Wed I posting here saying "take off the tin foil hat" to people who automatically assumed it was stolen.

But it was. It really was. Check here.

That link shows the results compared to the registered dems and reps per county. And it shows that massive numbers of dems supposedly voted for Bush.

It's just not possible that 40 and 50% of registered dems voted for Bush, but ONLY in optical scan counties. For one thing, if it were true that they voted for Bush, why wouldn't the exit polls and endless number of pre-election polls have reflected a massive movement for Bush from Dems?

I don't know how to post a spreadsheet here, but here is a summary of how they did Florida AND what the results would have been had they not messed with the machines (at least an approximation):

Summary

-- In 13 of 15 touchscreen voting counties in Florida, Dems gained over what would be expected looking at just registration percentages –more than just Dems voted for Kerry in these counties

-- But in only 7 of 52 optical scanner voting counties (15%), Dems gained over what would be expected looking at registration percentages - this seems a little odd

-- In the touchscreen counties, the average gain was 8% over what you would expect based on Dem registration, including all 15 counties

--In the optical scanner counties, the average loss was 16.6% under what you would expect based on dem registration, including all 52 counties

-- If you apply the 8% average plus the expectations based on registration that was seen in the touchscreen counties to the optical scanner counties where we saw losses in the Dem column, it's a total of 281,143.

If you add this number to Kerry’s total, and subtract this number from Bush’s…

Corrected Total

3,514,606 - Bush
3,709,368 - Kerry

And guess what, when you correct, it matches the exit polls!

If we could get the paper ballots rescanned in Florida with machines that had been actually checked to make sure they was no fraud going on, you would see that Kerry very likely won this election.
