I've got broadband connection for a Windows XP machine. I didn't have problems. I would never attempt to download it on my dial-up at home.

3. Sounds like you need to reinstall Acrobat Reader

:think:I've had the same problem with ver. 6.x. What ver. of Acrobat do you have?

Acrobat ver. 7.0 is now available. Works great. I also have Firefox v.1.0

For now, try a right click on the link and choose "Save As," then open the file after it downloads.

4. How accurate is this info...

supposed to be??? I have found atleast a couple inaccurate statements. I want, as much as anyone, for fraud to be proven, but we CANNOT just jump on every bandwagon screaming fraud if their is no legitimacy. That hurts our cause MORE than helping.

In 1988, Bush won the election, Bush 59.75%/Dukakis 39.50%
In 1992, Clinton did win, Clinton 43.47%/Bush 42.88%
In 1996, Clinton lost Ga, Dole 47%/Clinton 45.8%

On that website, page 3 they have a bar graph that says Ga didn't go Repug til 2000. That is not accurate. Here is the link for the Ga Secretary of State office, election results. See for yourself.

http://www.sos.state.ga.us/elections/election_results/default.htm

Next, on page 17 on that link. The author claims the 2004 Pres election results in GA
Bush 1,914,254 58%
Kerry 1,366,149 41.4%
Badnarik 18,387 0.6%

That is accurate. Then the author claims that there is an average under vote/no vote of 10% and that diebold automatically counted those as Bush votes. I assume they are claiming all those votes should have gone to Kerry. The result they get is

Bush 46%
Kerry 51%
Badnarik 3%

If there were nearly 3.3 million votes cast. Ten percent of that is 330,000 So if you take that number away from Bush and add it to Kerry you get:

Bush 1,584,254
Kerry 1,696,149
Badnarik 18,387 (no change).

Unless my math is bad, that should equal
Bush 48.0%
Kerry 51.3%
Badnarik 0.6%

Although, on principle, I don't think just assuming every no vote would go to Kerry is an accurate was to look at it. It is also interesting to note that on page 14 of that link, they have a letter from the Secretary of State's office which claims that the under vote percent in Ga was 3.5% in 2000 (pre diebold) and it was second worst in the country, yet the author says the average is 10 %.

If you chose to believe the stuff I have typed or the stuff on that website, be careful, and verify it yourself before you use it when confronting a repug. We can't sink to their level of making shit up to win an argument.

5. I found at least 1 error too

On page 3, the graphic shows republicans took Georgia House in 2002. Wrong.

Senate 2002,

House 2004.

6. Yeah, that article is bullshit.

I'm a believer in computer-based fraud, but that article's got a lot of holes in it. Seriously, Kerry winning Georgia? Pfft!
