1. Can't

There are an even number of electoral votes.
Electoral votes can't be split.
No third party candidate is strong enough to win any electoral votes.

Therefore, any margin of victory/loss must be an even number.

So ... "Spoonamore" absurd on its face. Absurd.


It's a theorem. If A+B is an even number, then A-B is an even number as well.
(Where A and B are integers.)

Grade school math.

2. Whether odd or even, 'hacking' is not a theory.

the liklihood of this happening if the election is a landslide is almost nil. Unfortunately, this race will be very close.

3. You don't even seem to know the difference between a 'theory' and a 'theorem'

It's too bad your grade school math teachers failed you. :shrug:

4. I guess they did. 'theorem,' I believe, is an algebraic rule

used to "describe a general proposition that is not self-evident but proved by reasoning." Thanks for the math lesson!:)

5. We have the cheat machines this time (think Ohio)

At least on our corner of Kent County ES&S M100's are installed and that's one way they stole Ohio. Flipping numbers is easy to program in and it doesn't matter how high the turnout. Remember the town of 800 that got thousands of votes for Chimp?

Be vigilant. We cannot let the Rethuglicans complete the coup and I think they're targeting MI for a steal this time.

6. Unfortunately, some folks live with their head in the sand.

7. I think McCain has pretty much conceded Michigan.
