This is very strange ***LOOK***

These are just a few of the results across the country that suggest that more Republicans should have lost their seats based on the national trends, but where Diebold or electronic voting systems were used the Republicans won in any case.

These States used paper ballots that can be recounted if needed and verified:
Maine
Result= Democratic landslide
Massachusetts
Result= Democratic landslide
Michigan
Result= Democratic landslide
New Mexico
Result= Democratic landslide


These States relied upon Diebold or similar non verifiable electronic voting systems:
Kentucky
Result=Republican win
Georgia
Result=Republican win
Louisiana
Result = Republican win
South Carolina
Result = Republican win

1. Hmmmm....

Wonder if that has anything to do with this? http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4402676

Thanks for the table, Porschenut1066.

[merh]

2. you left Mississippi off the list with equipment

not all counties use Diebold touch screens but most do.

3. Alternate explanation...Red states are more likely to give Diebold contracts.

Simply because Diebold is in with the GOP. All of the "Republican wins" you have listed are some pretty reliable Red states.

Western PA uses Diebold machines and Obama did just fine here.

Also, if you look at the results on a county by county basis, many counties within South Carolina and Georgia actually shifted significantly bluer since 2004.

4. Where I voted in Kentucky we had a choice of paper or electronic.

My precinct had three tables/booths for paper ballots and one electronic machine.

5. And in both groups, the final result was pretty close to the pre-election polling. Wotta shocker.

Gotta be a conspiracy.

6. What flavor of Porsche?

Mine's an '83 911 Targa.

8. Yummy...

...what an awesome car.

What color...if I may ask? :)

I love cars!

9. Rubinrotmetallic (ruby/burgundy)

I could do without the white interior, but it does work with the body color.


Oh, and it's for sale :)

I just don't drive it enough any more for me to justify keeping it. Somebody else could get a lot more enjoyment out of it.

I got a 2001 Audi S8 and it's a completely different feel. It's less of a seat-of-the-pants , ass-on the road feeling, but it's more comfortable (and faster), so I don't drive the 911 as much.

11. This is my 5th Porsche 944. Started buying them in 1985 New but

now I have a 1987 944 that I am doing up. Put new engine, brakes, shocks, struts, transmission(well it had 2000 miles on it so almost new) next a new interior and then it will run and look new. :-) Brother has an 83 911, and a 912 can't remember year maybe a 69?(looks like new and he wins concourse with it, I think I could eat my breakfast off his engine, only he would be all upset if I did). My brother calls my 944's "Glorified Audi's" he calls his 911's Posh VW's.

15. It's the other way around, VW's are (very) cheap Porsche's... ;)

:hi:

7. I feel Obama won much more than what was reported. The machines did the dirty fraud thing again but

Obama knew if he could get thousands more to vote he would be able to still win even if the machines were flipping a percentage to repubs. Obama had a landslide in EV but not in popular vote yea sure. Our President-elect and Congress need to enact immediately the paper ballot hand counting totaling before witnesses legislation cuz the crooks were at it again.

12. The pukes have earned their reputation.

I will never be able to look an "R" with a vote tally next to it without suspecting foul play.

10. Seeing the results in Louisiana was so heartbreaking.

Someone posted a map showing the change for each state (I think by county) between 2004 and 2008. The whole was some shade of blue except what someone else called "the Bible Belt." but, I also noticed how red Louisiana had become.

13. They got rid of a whole lot of poor people after Katrina n/t

[ColbertWatcher]

14. Yup, the GOP Doctrine, summed up perfectly by Grover Norquist ...

16. Hooray for statsturbation! n/t

18. Are we going to tolerate it if the dems try to ignore the voting system?
