Trust The Vote?


Just a quick note to say that the question of a stolen election is continuing to resonate. As noted in yesterday's post, people are questioning the disparity between exit polls and final voting numbers, particularly as there are wide margins only in a few states. Here's a piece by Slate from yesterday afternoon, which I missed. Mark Gibson, however, caught it and some other ones in a post last night.

Take a look, spread it around. Questions are raised that require answers.

Update: Doing a quick search after Mark Gibson noted it in the comments section, we see that 3,893 extra votes were recorded by one suburban Ohio voting machine. (You might have to provide a Zip code, birth year and gender to see the story.) It's being downplayed because so far no other such stories are coming forth from Ohio, and the type of machine in question wasn't being used elsewhere in the state, but I'll be very interested to see where the totals come out once all is done. Bush took the state by a 136,000 vote margin - now reduced by 3,893 - and approximately 155,000 provisional ballots are in the process of being verified and counted. I'll keep watching and advise you all to do the same.
