3. But, I thought it was just an occassional glitch! Isn't that what they

said? Just a few glitches. Couldn't change anything.

They wouldn't lie about it, would they?

5. It wasn't just a few glitches; see documentation for similar in Florida

Note that between 30 and 100 percent of those voting on machines with default to Bush(or other) lost their vote, depending on whether they saw the switch. Given the large numbers of precincts and voters involved in Florida this was a very large number. Similar in Ohio, New Mexico, Washington, Orange county(Calif.),Travis Co(Texas), Mercer Co(Pennsylvania),etc.

4. Too many faults favor Bush to ingore

If it was just glitches in the machine it would spread the votes around evenly. But in this case it went to Bush's favor almost every time when you take into account every time it deprived a vote from Kerry who was the only real challenger.

Glitches have no present disposition. Don't call it glitches IT WAS VOTE TAMPERING
