(6,979 posts)Who believes that in 2004, Kenneth Blackwell was up to no good in Ohio, because Bush ended up winning in what I read was phantom counties where the vote he won exceeded the number of people living in a few particular counties. Missouri was a mess also in terms of precincts voting in 2001 and 2004's GE. I know about Gore in 2000, but there were a multiple of things in that Perfect Storm GE loss scenario: The Supreme Court intervention, Gore not winning NH which would have made Florida a moot point. Katherine Harris & Jeb Bush and all of their shenanigans there, & Bush Family shenanigans in general. Voters voting for Nadar, voters voting for Gore and those votes went to Pat Buchanan IIRC. In fact, the scary thing is that exit polls showed Kerry with leads in several states he thought he would win, and polling data, although not as sophisticated as it is now, had him ahead in several states he lost--just as Hillary was thought to have been ahead in several states she barely lost this year, and we cannot for one minute take for granted what foreign shenanigans the Russians pulled off where it concerns our GE this year, because of course they want that dumb as a block puppet in the Oval Office instead of Bernie and especially Hillary because neither would have been kissing Putin's ass like tRump's gonna be doing.
