MSNBC Poll = Diebold Lite. Schmuck with an agenda and database access.
Kerry losing in the MSNBC poll started around the time of the Swift Shits. Up until then, Kerry had ALWAYS been ahead of Bush and every day his percentage increased, all the way to Kerry 80%/Bush 30%.

Then Boom! All of a sudden Bush leads, every single day. And miraculously, the percentage never changes no matter how many of us vote. This means a script is running or the database is being manipulated manually. Either way, someone at MSNBC with database access KNOWS what's going on. Who has access to the database? Well, I was a programmer at the largest pharmaceutical company in the Unites States and I had access to their databases 6 months after I started working there. I could have wreaked havoc if I wanted too.

From an MSNBC employee fixing a poll, to a Diebold employee fixing the vote isn't that much of a stretch.

1. They have everything to gain from neck and neck poll results.
An even race all over the nation and state-to-state plays right into the hands of vote thieves.

2. They don't need too change the results
Anyone with basic programming skills can write a script to vote mutiple times. The poll software either checks for a cookie or a unique I.P. address, most use both. I wrote a script the other night that would connect through a proxy I.P., erase the cookie, vote and then repeat. Well, I actually did not write anything! It is software that records your mouse and keyclicks and then allows you to play them back. Worked like a charm!
