jeez, you'd think someone would quote the piece they link to...unless, of course, it undermines their point:

I just don't see any evidence popping up to support it. Even if the election was hacked, there will be little to no evidence, and if there is evidence, it will most likely lead to a patsy. Sure, some numbers look suspicious, but if you analyze the millions of figures that came out of any election, some figures are likely to look weird just by chance. And, of course nobody has any proof.

I was resting my hopes on this Jeff Fisher of Florida thing, but I read his story here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ElectionFraud2004/message...

To me, that just does not sound credible. Maybe it is, and maybe something good will come of this, but I doubt it.

On the other hand, I think a recount in Ohio might give us better chances than any fraud accusations. I think with provisional and absentee ballots, Kerry can pull close enough there to maybe win in a recount. In fact, if there is fraud, it will be exposed in the recounts. I thnk the focus should be on the computer errors now, and not on fraud, because fraud is going to be nearly impossible to prove. We already have plenty of stories about machine malfunction, and those are concrete.

I think screaming fraud severely weakens our case. If you have PROOF of fraud, show me. Otherwise demand a recount. And talk about the lack of security on the voting machines and cenreal tabulators. Talk about the long lines at minority presincts.

I know some will want to flame me for this, but there just is no evidence of fraud right now. I had to speak my mind.
It's obvious who wasn't looking "at all."
