1. Anyone need this data?

:shrug:

[MissWaverly]

2. Thanks, so much!

I have not been looking at my state's total results just Baltimore City and Baltimore County.

George Bush 1,024,703
John Kerry 1,334,493

In Maryland that is impossible, we have only had 1 Republican Governor, that I can remember, he's currently in office, it is a heavily Democratic State, and Kerry only led by 309,790 votes. I told everybody that the machine I voted on kept voting for Bush. I have heard if they retabulate many times these fake votes disappear, why can't we have the votes retabulated.

:bounce:

3. I know it was a close race here in Colorado, but I still can't get over

the fact that EVERY "Democratic" issue passed all over the state, we voted in a Dem Senator in place of a Republican, and another Dem Representative in place of a Republican and Kerry lost by just under a hundred thousand votes. From what I can tell all these other Democratic leanings passed fairly easily. this means a little under a hundred thousand Coloradoans voted MOSTLY Democrat and STILL supported Bush? Coloradoans have been voting Dem's in by the gob-fulls, our state House and Senate are now COMPLETELY under Democratic control and WE LIKE IT THAT WAY, but still Kerry lost by 99,523 votes! The conjecture that a flip of 1-2% of votes would DEFINITELY explain how this occurred, but I'm sorry, I just can't believe a state that has been INCREASINGLY leaning to the left went for bush! We are moderates, but we are NOT heavily fundie infested except in SMALL pockets!

I know there are still some that believe this version, but I haven't bought it since the first time I saw the numbers. It makes no sense!

Maryland went to bush by 300,000 and Colorado went to bush by less than 100,00?

The published numbers on this election stink to high Heavan all over this country!

[MissWaverly]

4. Kerry won in MD but numbers are still wrong!

Here's the scoop!
Kerry won with 1,334,493 which is a lead of only 309,790 in Maryland
Bush had 1,024,703
Here's why it is BS, these are registered voters who voted in the entire STATE of MARYLAND
1,340,778 78.89% of registered Dems voted
733,643 81.37% of registered Republicans voted
5,415 72.36% of registered Greens voted
16,182 67.39% of registered Libs voted
236 79.73% of registered Constitution party voted???
8 72.73% of registered Populists voted
299,529 68.52% of registered Independents voted

Now, I KNOW that the Democrats I talked to DID not vote for Bush, now even if every single Republican voted for Bush, of all the Independents in the entire state all but 8,469 would have had to vote for Bush for him to get that number of votes, I can tell you these are fake nos. We need to open up the machines! No more years.

5. Sorry about that I did mean it the opposite way but I was really frustrated

and uh, I guess you could say ranting when I posted this. Not that I feel any less angry now. It didn't happen, bush did not win in this state. There was some sort of message to the administration going on this year, I am sure of it and I was one of the ones that watched my "vote" jump to bush so I am sure that method of disenfranchisement was used here. We also had allegations of pollsters telling voters they were in the wrong precinct, sending them to another precinct and then that precinct telling them the other precinct was the right one. This ONLY occurred in heavily minority populated areas. We have such large counties here. There are counties with large minority populations that don't really represent the average income levels and education levels within the majority of that specific county. EVERY precinct making those complaints were within those minority pocket areas that I speak of. It is despicable the way this election targeted people.

My husband is from the east coast BTW and I would think from my experience in that vicinity Kerry would have been the LANDSLIDE winner of all those states yet, he really wasn't. I am having a real hard time believing this country could experience the type of shift bushCo and Rove says it did.

6. thanks, bush_is_wacko

here's what I heard, I heard that when these machines are retabulated that the ghost votes wash out, I am after my Board of Elections about my precinct results. They show only 944 votes for my precinct for the entire day, which I know is BS because everyone I know told me that they had to stand in line for hours all day. I estimated that there were 350-450 people just when I was there for 2 hours waiting to vote. Baltimore City has a democratic mayor who was personally attacked by the Freepers spreading rumors about his wife on the internet; so he is not a big Republican supporter. Maybe they will double check the results in my precinct. I think that once they find one thing that doesn't jibe, it will go on and on like dominos falling. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

7. Hmmm. I thought the implication was that any manipulation could be

designed to disappear from view if the machines were opened by using a standard pass-code. I hope your correct in your version. That would indeed be the smoking gun! That is probably why they are fighting this so hard. I actually am very discouraged that we will ever get a look at those machines. They can easily tie this up in court until 2006 and the machines will have to be cleared several months before that election.

8. I talked with my sister since I posted

My sister was a volunteer, at her precinct 2100 people voted, I would not be surprised if that is not the case here in Baltimore City, will send you a post after I hear from the Board of Elections. 2100 if that's the real number from my precinct, you realize that over half the votes were purged?

:wtf:

9. Perhaps this will help.

11. Thanks Wilms

Thanks for your help, it feels better to know that I am not alone, but the saddest thing is that TIA was commenting that Maryland came out exactly within the range of the Mitofsky exit poll, I know that the numbers aren't right, and I know that votes were lost, so how does the exit poll formula work so well, I believe that the exit polls for some states were totally skewed from the beginning, (like they went out and only took a small sampling and topped off) what they had already been given (premade responses), this way the exit polls from the beginning would match the result. I am not saying in all states but I am saying that states were Bush would not need to cap a win, just make a good showing, then the results could be skewed from the beginning. How else would the exit polls still match end results with all the glitches and lost votes that we had in Maryland. I am still waiting for a response to my e-mail to the Baltimore City Board of Elections that I sent last week. Thanks again.

[Wilms]

12. Just cause it was in the MOE doesn't mean there wasn't a problem

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that those aspects of the Exit Poll were toyed with, as well.
While a fish rots from the head, the tail will go bad, too.!

Do a little digging. I thought I caught a few stories about a machine, or machines, that dumped 4000 votes, and I think it was in Maryland.

And, no, your not alone.

Welcome to DU. :)

[Wilms]

13. And TIA, it seems, is not yet done.

14. thanks for the update

Thanks for both posts and the welcome, I spent the evening trying to assemble my satellite radio, hopefully will finish tomorrow. I knew the MOE was too high, I just hope that if we can't get the election overturned that we can get an open source code and some way of checking the memory cards, batteries, etc. before the polls open, we are not talking rocket science, they are always doing quality checks in the labs on the machines in the hospital where I work.

[bush_is_wacko]

10. OMG! That could very well be the reason no one wants to open up the machi

But I would certainly think the purging of votes is serious cause for alarm. :wtf:, indeed!
