Apparently, it's up to us to find the answers.
(Sshhh...Don't wake media.)

Excellent and cogent analysis and action items concerning Florida and the Exit Polls from Ian Welsch over at BOP. Please give it a look and see if you can help.

I would add one further question/action item to Ian's list. It would be useful to learn what type of counting machine was in use in Broward County when it began subtracting votes from the tally, due to a bug in the software, and what other counties in Florida and/or the rest of the country used the same machine and software. 70,000 votes were "found" in that incident, and a local initiative overturned with the discovery of them.

The code used in these machines is not written separately for each individual machine that I know of. If the error occurred once in Broward (and was reportedly noticed), where else did it also occur and not get noticed?

Ditto for the UniElect machine in North Carolina that entirely lost at least 7,000 votes in a single county because it's memory chip only held 3005 votes instead of the 10,000 that manufacturer UniLect had promised. Where else was the same type of computer in use? I know Ohio used UniLect machines, and they reported unfixable problems with them on Election Day, but I haven't been able to tell if they were the same type as those in North Carolina.

(It must be up to us to figure this crap out, because the MSM is enjoying their well-deserved nap.)

Excellent work!! You and about six other people (plus a few thousand more people like myself who are at least trying to get the word out) are what stands between America and the end of democracy as we know it. And, unlike the election, this is not a win/lose proposition --- every shred of evidence that's brought to light before it's destroyed, every bit of publicity which sows even the slightest doubt in the minds of the American people undermines Bush's "mandate" and the reputation of e-voting just a tad.

I'm very curious about the MSNBC report that in Cuyahoga County, Ohio (I assume that's Cleveland) there were 92,000 more votes cast than there are people registered. Since Kerry carried the county by an overwhelming margin, I wonder if there's any suspicion that this was Democratic shenanigans? Is there any more info on this?

Yes, there has been more info on that, Peter (and, by the way, thanks for the kind words).

See this detailed post at DKos about Cuyahoga County. Those votes *may* be Absentee Ballots, though the sitch is very confusing.

And frankly, no matter *who's* shenanigans these are, they NEED TO BE CLEARED UP so we can have confidence in our electoral system!

Check out buzzflash.com for an excellent and thorough analysis of possible voter fraud. Apparently, the chance of the actual result being so far off from the exit polls in Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania is 250,000,000 to 1. Yes, that's right. The election was stolen.

While the goals of the U.S. and the Philippines seem to be the same regarding elections --- fair and fraud-free, their methods are diametrically opposed. The Philippines is desperate to get away from paper ballots and automate their elections, and the U.S., having been there done that, is heading in the opposite direction.

Happy Independence Day! We're taking the weekend off....
