Tell them a story. The story of Election Night. Everybody thinking Kerry was going to win. Bush wacko in the debates, an idiot. His approval ratings in the toilet. Huge Dem voter registration drive--beat the Repubs out 58% to 41% in new voter registration! Plus, Nader voters all defecting to Kerry. Then, huge turnout on Election Day--all the exit polls, all day, saying Kerry was winning. The TV networks then CHANGING THE EXIT POLLS--"adjusting" them to fit the "official tally." And where did that "official tally" come from? ...

...where, indeed?

A really important point to make is not just that the Exit Polls show a Kerry win, but that the skew to Bush is very particularized, to the battleground states. That's why Ph.D.'s in statistics are putting their reputations on the line over this--the SKEW is impossible. Odds against it of 1 in 10 million--in the latest NINE PH.D.'s report (UScountvotes.org).

Another really important point is that IT'S NOT JUST THE EXIT POLLS. The Exit Polls just CORROBORATE all other sets of data--for instance, studies of paper vs. electronic voting. See:

Florida: 130,000 to 230,000 phantom votes for Bush--paper vs. electronic voting:
Dr. Michael Haut & UC Berkeley stats team: http://ucdata.berkeley.edu

and

Democratic Underground (ignatzmouse):
(North Carolina: absentee ballot vs. electronic, inexplicable 9% edge to Bush in electronic:)

(also at:) http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/11/12/233831/06

and the 9 Ph.D.'s in the UScountvotes report ALSO find electronic skew (it's in their report).

Combine all this with the fraud-friendly conditions in the new electronic voting system--deliberately created conditions--and you have, AT THE VERY LEAST, a supremely INVALID election, one that no one can trust.

Again--context, story. Bush's approval ratings STILL in the toilet. Hovering around 50% since the election, dropping UNDER 50% to 48% (!) on Inauguration Day. Nearly 60% of Americans oppose the Iraq war, now, today. 63% oppose torture UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. It's just unprecedented for the a newly elected president to have so little support. These numbers confirm a stolen election.
