Vote Fraud
I still haven't had time to go into this in any depth, but I have compared returns from 2000 (look for "County by County Presidential Vote Data") and 2004 for a few counties in Florida. I notice that in Florida, many counties with a lot of Democrats in it went heavily for Bush. However, news organizations have said that these counties go for Bush anyway. So I decided to take a look at a few. What I saw amazed me.
Take Dixie County. In 2000, Bush took 2698 votes and Gore 1825. That's OK. Maybe some heavily Democratic counties go for Bush. But now take a look at 2004. Kerry got 1979 votes. That's OK. That's somewhere around 1825. But look at the Bush total. It waas 4433. That is much larger than the 2698 votes in 2000. It turns a mild Bush lead into a whopping landslide. I looked at a few other counties and found similar patterns. I note that the voting machines in Dixie come from the controversial vote machine maker Diebold. To me this opens up the possibility of fraud.
One fraudulent swallow does not make a summer of vote fraud, but this tells me that one should look closer at this data. First of all, are the data correct? For registration of parties, and for the vote count in 2000 and 2004? If so, find out how well the 2000 and 2004 patterns fit. They should fit in a reasonable fashion. If indeed there is a Bush tendency, it should be uniform across the board. If not, maybe a few vote machines started with Bush leads at the beginning of the day.
I think this bears looking into more. Do we indeed have a Ukraine here in this country?
