"Electronic voting machines in Florida may have awarded George W. Bush up to 260,000 more votes than he should have received"

I always figured that if voting machines were easy to hack, I.P.Freely would be president.

even if every last diebold vote was hacked for the republicans...

its still nowhere near the millions that he won by

bush won. he won. by a margin that makes even the most liberal conspiracist shut his face....

in 2000 he didnt win, it was awarded to him by the supreme court, but that was.... 2000

we are in 2004, america voted bush by a clear majority

The majority didn't vote at all.

thats their fault

kerry counted on the unreliable youth vote

bush counted on the responsible old chrisitan evangelical vote

(gays? marrying?! -biggest method of evangelical voter turnout)

kerrys campaign made the mistake, but the election WAS NOT stolen in 2004 the way it WAS STOLEN in 2000

live with it, he won the majority of people who cared to show up at the polls (regardless of the psychological games that lead to that turnout... psychological games are fair and square)

2 percent is not a landslide.
Kerry's campaign was weak, but the polls before (and the polls after too, I heard) gave him a clear winner.
The e-voting was very suspicious for several reasons. No error correction? Not even a CRC? No trail? Preloaded with Bush votes unless reset? Whee.
But Kerry gave up before the counting was finished. Doh. Doesn't he know that it's the Electors in December who actually decide? Even there he was weak.
Not that Bush was much better, "vote for me because that'll piss off the French."

lol silly noobs, Kerry is just staying under the radar while the GAO investigate our election. If he had stood up and yelled "ZOMGZSS STOLEN ELECTION!" then he'd be laughed at and republicans would just discount it as liberal whining. So far a recount is on for Ohio, New Hampshire, and Florida (I think?) without Kerry even speaking up, so if GAO finds out that there was election fraud, then there will be serious consequences to face for the republicans.

Is anyone besides Moore-heads and their ilk really paying attention to what the GAO is doing? Or even know who the hell the GAO is? (I don't...)

Thing i don't like is even with Bush winning, Kerry should of stayed in there until all the votes were counted and THEN say "I lost" and left. Leaving like that made it look like he didn't want to be presidant and made all of the flip-flop accusations correct.

Media-inspired memes suck.

I used to think of flip-flops as composite latches. Now I'll be forever reminded of political spin. ;_;

I guess your mental image of the word was derailed, eh?
