It's not like Ohio should have been a suprise.

I mean, Diebold Voting Machine CEO Walden O'Dell only promised it to Bush back in August of '03.

Dunno why Kerry even thought it was worth trying there.

I'm not one to believe in conspiracy theories, but I do find it interesting that the exit polls in Diebold districts pretty consistently suggested Kerry did 5% better than the actual voting indicated. How can we be sure that the Diebold machines weren't siphoning off one of every 20 Kerry votes to Bush?

Post-mortem analysis of the election data is going to be very interesting.

It might be very interesting, but it will not be very telling. The "fix" on those voting machines is very easy to hide.

Amazing how folks outside of Louisiana dismiss machine tampering as "conspiracy theory"

Karl Rove learned from Uncle Earl Long, "I can make them voting machines sing 'Home Sweet Home'."

One got caught. Er, I mean, there was some sort of mechanical error.

Yahoo News story (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20041105/ap_on_el_pr/voting_problems&cid=694&ncid=2043):

Bush got 4,258 votes in a precinct of Gahanna, Ohio, where only 638 people voted.

One of Rove's henchmen evidently got sloppy in his enthusiasm. Aw, that might loose him some Halburton kickbacks.

Kudos for remembering that.
