List of states to watch for a steal
Edited on Wed Nov-01-06 10:48 PM by boolean
I don't know which of these states uses electronic voting machines, if any. I think we ought to keep track of which states are tossups and where electronic machines are used. IF they are planning to steal it, it'll be in these tossups. I believe that they will only attempt to hold the Senate, since that's a better shot than the House. Remember, they only need one of them.

I also think it would be best to monitor VERY closely how the media reports on these tossup states and how exit polls differ from actual outcomes should the pukes win any of them.

If anybody knows if any of the following states use electronic voting machines, that would be helpful. I don't know what to type in google to find out. It wouldn't hurt to look out for the usual methods of disenfranchisement of minority areas, push polling, etc, either.

Let's stop freaking out about election fraud and actually DO something, like at least keep an EYE on vulnerable races.

Here are the Senate races currently in a dead heat:

Montana
Missouri
Tennessee
Virginia
New Jersey

That's FIVE states. Remember, the Dems need SIX seats to take control. They need only steal 6 of them. If it's 50/50, then the tiebreaker goes to Satan.

2. How do we monitor?
If the computer hack is in the counting software in the main terminal? Is this software overseen by any independent party?

5. Exit polls...
Exit polls, contrary to the Rethuglican bullshit on them. They're extremely accurate, so much so the Germans use them to report their elections I have read.
