The Internet, that wonderful engine of democracy, is rife with messages purporting to demonstrate how the U.S. presidential election results were manipulated in ways benefiting the Republicans.
To start, voting analyses of selected Florida and Ohio precincts conducted by the University of Pennsylvania's Steven Freeman and independent investigator Faun Otter have revealed surprisingly high percentages for Bush. Those skeptical about the results further suggest spoiled ballots and provisional votes, which may have a disproportionate impact on the results in the areas with high concentrations of minority voters, could have made the difference.

The earliest exit poll data released on Nov. 2 indicated Kerry - who had run narrowly behind Bush but within the margin of error for most of the race - was rolling to victory and carrying many of the battleground states, including Florida and Ohio, by higher than expected margins. These same polls also suggested the Republicans were ahead in most of the tight U.S. Senate races.

And, best of all, if the fraud is ever discovered, there is such a technological buffer between those responsible and those doing the deed you might say it’s the state-of-the-art in plausible deniability.

1. WOW! And not once did I see "conspiracy theory!"

Interesting ending of the article:

2. good article Amy, tho I just had time to read your snips...

Very interesting observation below, and I wonder if anyone has looked into this factoid about the 'incorrect' exit polls? Once again, the media and the B* administration use the exit polls to their advantage- these exit polls were right when it came to issues; B* was re-elected on 'moral values' (every time I think that I want to puke, it is so opposite of reality) but wrong when it came to predicting Kerry win. The exit polls were also apparently right when it came to predicting Republican Senate wins! Can they have it both ways?

"These same polls also suggested the Republicans were ahead in most of the tight U.S. Senate races."
