Have any computer glitches gone to Kerry?

[Ready4Change]

All of the computer "glitches" I've read about which occurred during the 2004 election favored Bush. Touch screens all seemed to be changing Kerry votes to Bush votes. Tallying mistakes all seem to be breaking in Bushes direction.

Am I paranoid? Can anyone point out specific cases where one of these problem favored Kerry? A SINGLE case?

1. No

2. None that I have heard of or read, and I have been researching

the issue since Nov. 3rd or 4th

[Eloriel]

13. Me either

And I've been keeping track of as many of the Election threads as possible (tho by NO means am I able to read all of them, or even most of them).

The closest I can recall was, I believe, somewhere in NC where some "lost" votes were recovered and IIRC both candidates got some additional votes, but I don't think it made Kerry any better off than he already was. IOW, if he was leading that county, he was still leading that county.

31. Perhaps in the primaries? Just a thought, no evidence. nt

3. not one glitch for kerry--thats why i think there was FRAUD n/t

4. Would make a most interesting probability case.

In fact, I think I saw something posted to that affect. I suspect that you are correct.......probably at a 100-1 pace. That to me is prima facia evidence that there has been systematic tampering with this election.

7. I'm a programmer.

I can see a single bug in a single program causing many cases of votes going one way. But we aren't having problems with a single type of voting equipment. Different manufacturers, different equipment, and problems at different parts of the voting process.

All those differences, and yet STILL everything breaks one way? That's no bug.

16. That sounds like probable expert opinion to me.

You should be sure to trumpet that charge, and perhaps you should see if you could write some sort of discourse along those lines. When I hear stuff like that it just makes my skin crawl with further loathing of Bush and company.... Ye' Gods these guys are fucking crooks!

28. thank you.

SUCH B.S. that MSM acts like there is "Nothing to See Here Folks-Move On!".
Christ!!Our Democracy is at stake.Fascism is taking a foothold over the United States of America and they sit there.SILENT!!!
UGH!!!

[proudbluestater]

5. NONE! That's why this screams out FIX!

[crispini]

6. There was one in El Paso or south Texas somewhere.

but please don't ask me to substantiate, it's late and I'm off to bed. if I'm feeling energetic tomorrow I'll look. or, try google! :D

[Ready4Change]

8. I'd appreciate it, if you get a chance.

Not that I'm an official or anything. I guess I'm just going a bit late-night batty. Thanks.

[pointsoflight]

11. Yes, there is one somewhere. I can't remember where either.

[stirringstill]

12. Texas

A few weeks ago a few posts mentioned a pro-Kerry glitch in Texas but I think these may have been second hand. Perhaps a link to the source of this rumor was provided but I can't locate it. Someone also said that some machines in NM marked Kerry when Bush was pressed. It would be important to find the source of these since these may only be rumors to hide the pro-Bush ghosts in the machines.

[Stand and Fight]

17. Can you try to find that?

I have googled this sort of thing and have yet to find any single incident favoring Kerry. Maybe I am not using the correct wording, but we'd all greatly appreciate a link to an article. Thanks!

9. None that I know of.

:shrug:

10. THE RISE OF THE MACHINES.

wasn't this what the future worlds envisioned in Terminator and the Matrix were all about? bush's policies and politics reflect the cold calculations of mechanical "intelligence" that maximizes variables like growth and dominance at the expense of the incalculable value of truth beauty and nature. karl rove does not wage a campaign; he queries a database and executes a command on the found set. should we be surprised that the will of the voting machines is to elect the toy robot bush, overriding our own preference for a human being instead?

14. Computer glitches always bear right. nt

[Viva_La_Revolution]

25. LOL!!! n/t

[Ready4Change]

15. Just found one myself.

8,400 votes for Kerry in Orange (county?) in Florida. Apparently a result of the problem where, when a vote tally exceeds 32,000, the machine looses votes, rather than halting voting in order to have votes counted and get reset.

Also, this one never affected official counts. It was only an error reported on a non-official website, which wasn't corrected for some time period (none of the ariticles I've found say how long. I get the impression the wrong count stayed on the website for a couple days.)

Hard to find this one instance in the sea of Bush favoring glitches.

[Stand and Fight]

18. Link please.

As you know, we love links at this site! Thanks!

[Ready4Change]

21. Here's a link.

It's not the original source, which is apparently the Orlando Sentinal? But it's got what's supposed to be quotes from that article.

19. Nothing confirmed, just a couple rumors about a minor glitch in Texas

But you know if there were anything substantial that happened, it would be nonstop yammering 24/7 from the likes of Rush, Hannity and Coulter. AFAIK, they haven't uttered a peep about discrepancies favoring John Kerry.

That says it all, right there, kind of like the eerie silence on how the military vote went.

[texpatriot2004]

20. That's a good point, you know if there were errors to Kerry

they would be blabbing them constantly. How curious.

[skids]

22. Very few.

23. compared to the ones that have gone Bush...miniscule

[scurvy_n_disastrous]

24. i think there was 1 vote switched K to *.

OH, FL, NH? not sure... It was somewhere on DU yesterday 12/2.

26. One Case

27. This would be a great analysis for TIA to crunch.

I'm sure the chances of having 99.999% of the 10,000 or so incidences favor Bush is in the neighborhood of 1 in a universe.

[leftchick]

29. I did not see the Boston Globe article listing the 'glitches'

how many were there? Several thousand perhaps? Tens of thousands? And yet not any have gone JK's way? Hello MSM??? Hellooo....

This certainly adds credence to the issue of vote fraud and not 'glitches'!

:grr:

[skids]

30. You people just don't read anyone else's posts do you?

I already posted a link showing you where you can find the
Kerry->Bush glitches. There's many more than one. But there are
very few compared to Kerry->Bush.

[Straight Shooter]

32. "You people"?

33. Link again please. n/t

34. I think skids is referring to Post #22, eom
