Election Fraud SMOKING GUN in Florida: Does Your State Have One?
The NYT reveals that the state of Florida tried to do the same thing that Ken Blackwell tried to do on election day in 2004---keep exit pollsters more than 100 feet away from the polls, so that there would be no evidence when the votes were miscounted.

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/us/AP-Florida-Exit-Polls.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&oref=slogin

Why is this a smoking gun? The farther exit pollsters are from the polls, the less reliable their results are. By 100 feet, the results of their exit polls are piss poor. In 2004, Ken Blackwell tried to surprise the press by issuing a ruling on election mornining that would have kept exit pollsters 100 feet away from the polls. When I saw this, I knew that he knew that the final vote tally would not match the exit poll results---i.e vote tallying fraud was planned. He decided to make the exit polls unreliable so that when the discrepancy was noticed, the GOP could say "You can not trust an exit poll that is performed that far from the polls." Fortunately, the press went to the courts and got an injunction and did their polls and the results were leaked and we all saw the results.

I have posted this fact on the internet often enough that I did not think that any other state would try it. I guess Florida is desperate. Luckily a federal judge has struck down this plan. Exit polls will be conducted in s scientific fashion, which will make it harder for those who tabulate the votes to cheat--especially if the poll numbers are released this time, which I expect they will be. Bush is not holding out any promises of media mergers this election cycle.

There is only one reason why politicians would pick 100 feet and tell exit pollsters to stay beyond that distance. It is the magic number at which point their polls are worthless.

A 100 Foot Exit Poll Rule Is Always a Smoking Gun of Election Theft

Does you state have plans to do the same?

2. Yes, indeed. Something else worthwhile to watch for.
Don't ever forget the lesson that Mad-Eye Moody kept repeating to Harry Potter's Defense Against the Dark Arts class: "CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!!!!!"

"You may end up with a different math, but you're entitled to your math," Rove said. "I'm entitled to 'the' math."

What the f*ck does that mean? As if we don't already know...

4. Rove is engaging in "lip flapping" while PRAYING that fraud activities
Edited on Wed Oct-25-06 04:04 PM by McCamy Taylor
on the ground continue as they have in previous elections. He can't afford to make personal contact with any individuals for fear that some of them may be in contact with unfriendly elements of the press or law enforcement. So he has to hope that individual members of the GOP political machine are doing their individual part to steal as many votes as they think they can get away with.

If the GOP operatives on the ground think that it is a lost cause, they will not bother. They will be damned if they get caught stealing votes and then get hauled in front of some Democratic Congressionl hearing. However, if Rove swears to them that they will probably win, then they will do all their usual dirty tricks--pasting white stickies over Dem votes on the op-scans, "spoiling" Dem votes, inserting bad code in the E-vote machines--whatever they think they can get away with.

Rove's job is to give them confidence and to give the GOP plausible deniability for after the electionl i.e, claim that voters are tired of Iraq and Foley and the issues and that they are going to vote on Terra or W.'s good looks or some other issue. What I gave been calling "Morality Fatigue" since last year.

7. Math? I wonder if Karl Rove even knows that...
... .999999999 (ad infinitum) is equal to 1.0000.......

But it is.

...that campaigners or pollsters cannot come within.

Political parties can send observers into the actual polling places but they are not allowed to talk
to the voters or the poll workers.

We have never had an observer in the precinct where I work.

We have a 3 or 4 to 1 ratio of Republicans to Democrats so they would be wasting their time.

8. The One Hundred feet Exit Poll Rule in Florida id now NULL and VOID!
Courts ruled it unconstitutional.

That's one for the honesty and integrity of our vote. Now we just have (only God knows) how many more...
