?????? Questions, answer the ones you want
Texas, 1994, election for governor: does anyone have exit poll data?I guess most of you will understand what I am implying.
And what if fraud had been an element of every election since the mid 80's?
Is it also possible that polling methodologies have never been adjusted to take into consideration things such as disenfranchisement, intimidation and fraud on a precinct, county or state level, which predominantly affect democratic voters?
Is it possible that people who told exit pollsters they had voted for Kerry, had voted using provisional ballots that weren't counted?
Why is it that when we hear about voters getting phone calls that discourage them to vote or provide them with wrong information they are always democrats?
And lastly when do you think the s**t will hit the fan?
I think it will be around June when * will have to go on sick leave following the revelation that he is a closet satanist bisexual.
I apologize in advance to the satanists and bisexuals who might feel offended.

PS: Maybe it will be when he realizes that he is married to the Joker (of Batman fame) seriously what is up with that smile?

1. "what if fraud had been an element of every election..."
then you would have a lot of work on your hand in providing any substantial evidence of such in order to support such a claim.

2. Perhaps, but not as much as if one were trying to prove Kobie guilty.

5. how about just repub wins in 2002, 2004?
At least the ones that are not consistent with the polls.
That would kind of upset the balance of power wouldn't it

4. Yeah, I think it's quite possible that some of those polled in exit...
...polls had voted for Kerry with provisional ballots. They may not have realized how iffy it was that their ballot would be counted, and didn't say anything about it to the pollster.

Some ideas spring to mind:

Did the exit polls include that question? --was yours a provisional ballot?

If not, why not? --surely Edison/Mitofsky were aware of the new provisional ballot possibility.

Someone needs to add up the numbers. Estimated provisional ballots, and other Repub methods of getting rid of Dem votes ("spoilage"), vs. the Exit poll numbers.

7. Texas had lots of touch screen switching in 2004? how long had TSs?
But there have been ways to rig elections for as long as there have been elections.

http://www.flcv.com/texas.html
touch screen switching in Houston, Austin, SanAntonio

Likely this isn't the first year it occurred
