Voters favored Kerry; Anomalies favored Bush
Edited on Thu Jan-13-05 09:46 PM by TruthIsAll
There are ZERO links, although I searched for them, which say that voting anomalies favored Kerry.

Instead, there were 994 links which said that voters favored Kerry and/or anomalies favored Bush.

On the other hand, when I searched for Bush anomales:
Anomalies favored Bush (4540 links)

3. I don't take Google as proof of this...
or disproof. There are certainly enough data that point to Kerry's win not to have to resort to these tactics.

4. These are FACTS. Not "tactics". Powerful FACTS.
Edited on Thu Jan-13-05 09:39 PM by TruthIsAll
Google FACTS.

No one mentioned anything about PROOF.
Except you.

These are FACTS.
Knowing the FACTS is the FIRST STEP in getting to the TRUTH.

Too bad you don't see it.

28. OK, we know that (favored AND Kerry) happens less frequently...
on the Internet than (favored AND Bush).

5. The anomolies were systematic ways to shift the vote
Systematic vote machine fraud, dirty tricks, and suppression of minorities have been documented in most big counties with numerous minority voters in most swing states.

6. I feel like I've been living
in some kind of nightmarish Faustian twist of reality (that has sanity) except for DU ever since the election. Kinda like being a character it the move "Matrix"; however, this is not a fantasy movie (not to me anyway).

7. "Matrix"--very, very, very, very right on analogy...
...it's all about illusion. We live in an illusion of a democracy.

I realized this when I started thinking not about what the Exit Polls and other evidence tell us (the "smoking guns," that, when you put them all together, really smoke), but rather what the TV networks DID with, and to, the Exit Polls, "adjusting" them to fit the "official" BushCon-controlled "results."

In the rest of the world, Exit Polls are used to verify elections and...ahem...smoke out fraud. Not here.

Here, even with a new and controversial voting system being used nationally for the first time--and one with secret source code owned by BushCons, and with no paper trail--a situation that CRIES OUT for non-partisan verification, they not only do a demographic poll, instead of one specifically designed for verification, they then deny the voters and viewing public the news about what it said.

Illusion. The illusion that Bush won. The illusion that there is nothing wrong, that there is no contradictory information.

And now we have not just BushCon sheeple going around believing that Jesus made Bush president, but we have Kerry voters, too, going around believing a whole lot of things that are not true: that Bush won, that the majority rejects progress and the theory of evolution, and the Constitution, and the rule of law, that Kerry made mistakes in the campaign and that's why he "lost," that maybe we all need to pay more attention to this new "red state" phenomenon and Christian "fundamentalism" ("despise thine enemy and call him 'raghead,'" "bomb thy neighbor to smithereens," "take what is thine even from the poor," and other sayings of Gentle Jesus). Kerry voters are having to swallow this crap, and "get over it," and learn to live with and understand and accommodate themselves to complete insanity.

It's a pukey illusion.

And then there are the Democrats, either deluded that they can negotiate things with the BushCon fascists--"election reform," for instance--or spinning illusions themselves to convince Democratic Party supporters to keep sending them money, and to keep "voting" for them.

God.

I'm making myself sick. It's quite an insight: The Illusion.

11. And since election 2000,
and at least since 9/11.

Our recent history is a nightmare from which we MUST awaken.

14. Hard evidence in the Audit Logs
In Snohomish county, Washington I just reviewed the audit logs for all 933 Sequoia machines. The logs feature state that at least 98 different "screen calibration" routines were run on Election Day among 933 machines. Accounting for machines that had more than one calibration, 81 different machines had to be recalibrated because the touch screens were "anomalously" selecting Republicans.

That's about 9% of the machines actually getting intervention. An unknown additional number were just allowed to sit or the problem wasn't noticed on.

These audit log numbers overlap reports from election workers, so 81 machines out of 933 appears to be a HARD and MINIMUM number of "screen calibration problems".

Details on how the machines that were switched off due to malfunctions and voted heavily for republican Dino Rossi is in the detailed study at www.votersunite.org/info/SnohomishElectionFraudInvestigation.pdf

16. That's great information!
Thanks for posting, Land Shark!

This is valuable...if it can be proven that the default screen calibration for these machines across all counties where they were used favored rethugs it could call into question every election result in these counties.

20. This should be it's own thread.
Nice post Land Shark.
Here is a nice graf...

"However, to use the misleading terminology anyway, if “the screen” was off by
half an inch, it remains unexplained why the machines that were taking Democratic votes
to be Republican votes (the line just below Democrats), were not also taking Republican
votes and making them Libertarian votes, (the line just below Republicans) with similarly
large numbers of complaints from Republicans about “screen calibration issues”. Indeed,
it might also be asked why no Republican votes were recorded as Democratic, though a
true screen calibration defect would not produce errors in both directions at the same
time, one would expect a calibration issue to occasionally go in the up direction and not
just the down direction. Interestingly, the reports of these screen calibration problems"
were virtually all on major ticket races, and not on the various issues and candidates that
were lower on the ticket, even though some of the lower races are in the same position on
the screen as the earlier major ticket races, and thus should be subject to the same
“miscalibration” problems, even if the miscalibration was somehow isolated to one
portion of the screen.

Land Shark, are you able to create your own thread yet? If so, I would suggest doing this to get the most exposure. If not, I can do it for you if you'd like.

22. I recognize this statement.
Because I wrote it. It's part of the study at
www.votersunite.org/info/SnohomishElectionFraudInvestigation.pdf

I must toot my own horn and say that if you want to see real evidence, this is the best out there and well worth your time. My work continues.... All should feel free to forward, post, download and quote my work (with attribution whenever possible).

19. As I posted on TIA's other thread regarding glitches and anomolies...
it's an indisputable fact that random errors favoring one candidate 99.99% of the time is statistically impossible...is not "random" at all.

31. Newsweek cover - Jan. 10, 2005: Exclusive: John Kerry on Why Bush Won
The Mainstream Media is looking at what John Kerry is saying about this election.

"I'm Going to Learn" - J. Kerry, quoting from his new book

From article: Kerry has become deeply fascinated by the task of rebuilding the Democratic Party from the grass roots up, say his advisers.
