Conventional wisdom is that Stevens takes the Bush because of all the federal largesse he doles out out there, but this year it's solidly blue. If they're stealing it, it must be right here in Anchorage. Kind of odd that Mark takes all of north Anchorage and Ted takes all of south Anchorage.

:shrug:

1. In a way, the vote stealing in Anchorage, Fairbanks and even
Juneau would make more sense - if only because the larger population going to the polls would be more difficult to track.

We have GOT to get the Party and Feds into this. In my very red neighborhood here, there were many more signs for Dems than for Repukes. Many, many more. And we're showing not only a lower turnout, but flip-flops in projected votes?

No way this is aboveboard.

K&R Blue. We'll keep working on it! :dem::kick::dem:

3. This is also how they got away with votepadding in 2004. Great analysis about the city votes
Edited on Fri Nov-07-08 05:59 PM by blm
increasing greatly for Bush in 2004 is in the election forum. Bushies concluded that no one would DOUBT the numbers as long as they still showed he lost - giving no mind to the ADDED numbers he needed for his overall vote total.

6. BLM, I've posted this elsewhere
but one of the most suspicious things to me about all this is that in 2004, George Bush defeated Kerry here 61 to 36.

On Tuesday night when the election results started coming in, the tally was McCain 61, Obama 36. The percentage didn't change except by a few hundredths of a percent as more precincts reported. The final result was -- you guessed it -- McCain 61, Obama 36.

That's sort of coincidence is just impossible to reconcile with rational thought.

9. wow...that's the first time I saw that. You know me - I never believe in coincidence when BushInc's
involved.

5. Your avatar is not Blue enough. :-D


Keep up the pressure, this is very important because once it can be proven in one place, it becomes suspect everywhere.

7. Yes, that's a screwy graphic all right.
Thank you so much for keeping us up-to-the-minute on this. It really does stink, and Stevens needs to be stripped of this illegal "win".

8. At least my little precinct 26 is very blue. :-)
We're so solidly blue in this neighborhood that our Democratic state representative and senator didn't even have Republican opponents.

The Dems picked up seats in the state legislature so that now the Senate is tied, 10-10, and a bipartisan majority has been created, and we're only down by four in the House. Such a breakdown would have been unthinkable a few years ago. That's another thing that makes this Republican outcome in the national elections seem somewhat suspect.

10. That makes little sense. I am hoping the Obama
Administration appoints an all-inclusive Commission to stablize our election process, headed perhaps by Jimmy Carter.

I also believe election fraud is akin to terrorism. If an entity, foreign or domestic, commits this fraud, it is akin to taking the government from the will of the people. That is dangerous.

I will never forget or forgive Coup 2000. Look at the damage that fraud inflicted upon our nation.
