This is very strange ***LOOK*** |
|
These are just a few of the results across the country that suggest that more Republicans should have lost their seats based on the national trends, but where Diebold or electronic voting systems were used the Republicans won in any case.
These States used paper ballots that can be recounted if needed and verified: Maine Result= Democratic landslide Massachusetts Result= Democratic landslide Michigan Result= Democratic landslide New Mexico Result= Democratic landslide
These States relied upon Diebold or similar non verifiable electronic voting systems: Kentucky Result=Republican win Georgia Result=Republican win Louisiana Result = Republican win South Carolina Result = Republican win

3. Alternate explanation...Red states are more likely to give Diebold contracts. |
|
Simply because Diebold is in with the GOP. All of the "Republican wins" you have listed are some pretty reliable Red states.
Western PA uses Diebold machines and Obama did just fine here.
Also, if you look at the results on a county by county basis, many counties within South Carolina and Georgia actually shifted significantly bluer since 2004.

4. Where I voted in Kentucky we had a choice of paper or electronic. |
|
My precinct had three tables/booths for paper ballots and one electronic machine.

I could do without the white interior, but it does work with the body color.
Oh, and it's for sale :)
I just don't drive it enough any more for me to justify keeping it. Somebody else could get a lot more enjoyment out of it.
I got a 2001 Audi S8 and it's a completely different feel. It's less of a seat-of-the-pants , ass-on the road feeling, but it's more comfortable (and faster), so I don't drive the 911 as much.

11. This is my 5th Porsche 944. Started buying them in 1985 New but |
|
now I have a 1987 944 that I am doing up. Put new engine, brakes, shocks, struts, transmission(well it had 2000 miles on it so almost new) next a new interior and then it will run and look new. :-) Brother has an 83 911, and a 912 can't remember year maybe a 69?(looks like new and he wins concourse with it, I think I could eat my breakfast off his engine, only he would be all upset if I did). My brother calls my 944's "Glorified Audi's" he calls his 911's Posh VW's.

7. I feel Obama won much more than what was reported. The machines did the dirty fraud thing again but |
|
Obama knew if he could get thousands more to vote he would be able to still win even if the machines were flipping a percentage to repubs. Obama had a landslide in EV but not in popular vote yea sure. Our President-elect and Congress need to enact immediately the paper ballot hand counting totaling before witnesses legislation cuz the crooks were at it again.

12. The pukes have earned their reputation. |
|
I will never be able to look an "R" with a vote tally next to it without suspecting foul play.

10. Seeing the results in Louisiana was so heartbreaking. |
|
Someone posted a map showing the change for each state (I think by county) between 2004 and 2008. The whole was some shade of blue except what someone else called "the Bible Belt." but, I also noticed how red Louisiana had become.
