BBV Scenario.

[theorist]

Place yourself on the day of the general election. As counties start issuing their preliminary results, it becomes clear that some irregularities are showing up. Reputable exit polling shows that the Democratic candidate is winning by a slight margin in enough counties on the east coast to project a Democratic president. Here comes the problem.

Those counties using voting machines show landslide victories for the Democrat. The next day, the FEC calls the election a fraud and that an investigation is pending.

We're all worried that BBV will be used against us. When the White House realizes they cannot win even by cheating for themselves and still get away with it, they use the other option. They make us look like the "evildoers". Is this a plausible scenario?

1. No takers? I think this is a possible outcome... n/t

I am a theorist, you know. I need my ideas to be debunked, or they will become hypoteses....

[theorist]

2. I wrote this last night, but no one responded.

I don't want to keep it to myself.

3. Interesting thought....but then having called us cheaters,

they do what? Where would this scenario take them?

[theorist]

4. No winner would be declared and Bush remains

the POTUS until another election could be planned (or something to that affect).

[Snow]

6. Hmmm. So we grandfather Clinton back into office?

[theorist]

7. Explain this question. n/t

5. hm, I'd never thought about it that way.

I don't think it could happen... but I never say never.

8. With all the links....

...of these companies to right wing interests, gee, it would look a little funny, like, Hagel just went Democrat?

9. No way the FEC would call the election a fraud.

If electronic machines without paper trails record votes for Bush which were actually cast for the Democrat, there will be no way to prove it.

Even if a judge later believes that fraud was committed, there will be no way to do a recount, and the judge will do nothing.

We need to pass HR 2239 as soon as possible.

10. The FEC never declared the 2000 election a fraud, in spite of all

The FEC never declared the 2000 election a fraud, in spite of all the evidence, so why would they declare the 2004 election a fraud, with less evidence?
