Only 9,555 Absentee Ballots counted in Florida TO DATE
Edited on Thu Nov-04-04 12:48 PM by ciaobox
Why the fuck are the Dems not all over the media about this? What happened to the 1.6 million absentees in Florida? Only 10,000 counted in 3 days? Iowa counted 450,000 overnight. Why are we not screaming at the media about this?

8. Ah, yes!
If those are provisional, then it's much to do about nothing. 1.6 million absentee ballots going for Kerry at a rate of 62% would be enough to turn Florida around. 100% of provisionals going for Kerry is not enough to do didley squat.

5. Where is this documented?

Where is this documented? All I could see is http://enight.dos.state.fl.us/20041102_STAT.html and that seems suggestive of most absentee ballots having been counted already (from looking at that table, several counties don't yet have those in the totals but nowhere near 1.6 million uncounted).

6. Dems? Scream? Challenge? Media?
No,No! This is Bushmerika. Dems are just bystanders. Ask Kerry. Oh, he dropped out yesterday, shortly before lunch hour.

Of course the election was stolen. So there's no rush in counting the absentee and provisional ballots from Dem voters. You know who the Leader is. Here's the way to be:

For the second straight day, <Bush> pledged to reach out to those who opposed his re-election.

"The campaign over, Americans are expecting a bipartisan effort and results. I will reach out to every one who shares our goals," he said.

You've only got one choice in Bushmerika.

9. They warned they wouldn't have time for a week or so
All to fend off any idea of challenge. Randi said it that night.

10. Florida was called RED way TOO EARLY
I was angry when Florida was called so early. Seemed very odd. And then to see so few had actually been counted. And the media moving right along to the planned Main Event-- Ohio-- they just lined right up, didn't they? "Never mind Florida, guys! Check out Ohio !!" and off the TV broadcasters went-- red Florida-- with so many votes still uncounted.
