So did the freepers freep the election?

Does a bear....

No seriously, during the campaigns 'on line polls' were a big thing. We could see over and over again the same pattern. As soon as our friends over at Free Republic found out about a poll, the poll would suddenly shift in their favor. On numerous occasions, they even bragged about doing this sort of thing and posted instructions on their forum about how to delete your cookies so you can vote multiple times.

Then on November 2nd, during the most important poll of all, it happened again. When the polls opened and throughout the day it appeared that Kerry was heading for decisive win. Then as soon as Rove got back to the WH that evening, after stopping off in Ohio, suddenly the tide did a 360 and the election began to be freeped. Just a little last minute tweaking here and there is all it would take. When the polls closed, the results were transmitted via modem to the tabulators at the local DOE offices. At that point the data was wide open to outside hacking and a hacking they did go.

1. You give this "band of mother's" ...............

too much credit. They can freep a poll and do, but having a direct effect on the election? Collectively, these morons wouldn't have enough power to sway an election of a city councilman, let alone the President of the United States.
Their enormous egos would have us feel otherwise, but in reality they're just a bunch of loonies whose bark is much bigger than it's bite.

2. It would only take a few of the smart ones to do it.

Never underestimate your opposition.

I been doing some google searches on 'election fraud' stories before the election. The freepers were very, very interested in this topic, to the point of posting detailed instructions about how it could be done, so that they would know how we, the DEMS, were planning to steal the election.

3. They freeped it the same way they always do....they voted.

IMHO, it's really just that simple.
