just got this release of comparison charts between the exit polls and the recorded vote counts (to date, many states have not counted provisional or absentee ballots yet)
the results are horrid.
a couple of states are very close, which is the norm. you will usually see a difference of a few percentage points here and there between exit polling and actual voting, but not much more than that. exit polling has always been extremely close to the outcome which is why it was never wrong until 2000.
look at the charts here

this does not represent all 50 states but a few of the clear kerry winners to be used as a sample set and then the battleground states. take a look at the numbers.
illinois is dead on and that's to be expected. in maine, kerry lost about 2.5 percent and bush gained 2.5 percent in the actuals vs the exit polls and the same happened in wisconsin. that's not so far out of the norm to raise a ton of alarms. there could've been some sort of skewing going on in the exit polling that made it look a little too good for kerry.
but in north carolina, bush gained more than 5 percent and kerry lost more than 5 percent. in new hampshire, kerry lost more than 10 percent and bush gained more than 10 percent. in battleground state after battleground state, the exit polling has nearly the same amount of difference between kerry's loss of votes and bush's gain of votes.
how is it possible that this was uniform across the states? if something was wrong with the exit polls, wouldn't it have fluxuated in both directions? wouldn't the percentages be more varied? this stinks like a dead rat and we only have 9 days to contest an election.
i read an article in the paper the other day that said everything went fine with the black boxes. how do we know? in any kind of accounting, you must leave yourself ways in order to validate the data. there is no method here and who fought for that? the republican controlled governments in these battleground states. i guessed at it before but the information keeps pointing more and more to the fact that the fix was in.
bev harris at
www.blackboxvoting.org is organizing the largest freedom of information act request in history, trying to get the hard data from these machines so that it can be verified and rightfully so. why does this need to be kept secret? industry patents? bullshit. we need to see the closest we can get to verifiable data to make sure that the system works. forget about the fact that the outcome might have been changed. this check needs to be done to verify whether these machines are dependable or not. they're new technology, why wouldn't we do the most stringent possible tests after the fact?
people in florida were in line for ten hours in some counties and they stayed there to vote. when they call in, worried if their vote counted or not, they keep saying that everyone they talked to in line was there for kerry. these were the people who were there.
some voters report that when they got the verification screen for their touch-screen ballots, it recorded the exact opposite of how they'd voted. they called over one of the election officials for help. the officials 'fixed it' for them, but how the hell do they know if their vote was actually reversed? they didn't see another confirmation screen and there was no printout.
if you read the newspaper, you saw the story about how bush got 3,893 votes over the number of people who voted that day. this is a red flag! that was one glaring error that couldn't have been ignored. but what about the ones that you have to examine in order to dig up the truth. let's examine it.
something is so wrong here people. because we've got this new computer technology, a lot of people don't even understand how it works so they can't begin to figure out how to demand a recount.
WHY DID YOU CONCEDE KERRY?
i have a sickly suspiscion that the american people were held up at gunpoint yet again. we've been attacked and our rapist is our leader again. come on mainstream media, you are supposed to be the watchdogs of the nation. you are supposed to stand up for the big T, truth. stop being afraid of retribution from the fcc. stop being afraid of being labelled as liberals and biased. that is the trick of the republican party. if you speak out against them they say that you are in the wrong and people believe them. who cares. let the stock fall, let the nation rise, if everyone speaks out, the people will see the pattern. report the news, this was not a problem free election!
i'm going to give myself a coronary.
ugh!
