Ohio AND Florida were RIGGED

Several other people have already commented on this, but let me just add my two cents. We were all fairly confident of a Kerry victory. Why is that? For a number of reasons:

1. Massive registration efforts on the left
   
2. Massive GOTV efforts
   
3. Demographic changes in key states that benefitted Democrats
   
4. Huge surge in early voting, forecasting record high turnout (which again benefits Dems)
   
5. An incumbent whose approval ratings were stuck at 47-48
   
6. A fired up and motivated Democratic base
   
7. A split Republican base, with many traditional conservatives going against Bush
   
8. Clear wins the all three debates
   
9. Polls and other signs that showed Ohio was trending Kerry
   
10. Finally, exit polls on election day that showed Kerry leads in Florida and Ohio (just see main page posts earlier in the day).

Yet despite all of the above, We lose Florida by 5%? Republicans accounting for 41% of voters, versus only 37% for Democrats? Does that make ANY sense to anyone else?

As for Ohio, same story. Except, here Bush wins by 2%, with Republicans accounting for 40% of the vote, versus only 35% for Democrats.

Again, use common sense. The numbers are RIGGED. They defy all logic. Among what group of voters did Bush suddenly gain support? What late breaking development caused turnout among Democrats to plummet from expected levels? How on earth do the results make any kind of sense at all?

THIS is the story that we need to be talking about. THIS is what we need to spend all of our energy and time on. THIS is what the Kerry campaign and the media need to be talking about: the voting machines produced results in Ohio and Florida that simply do not make any sense at all.
