I've been doing some browsing through the posts here today, going to links, etc. One of the links led me to this site: http://ustogether.org/Florida_Election.htm

The data is at first glance unimpressive. It looks just like so much of the data of county/state results I've looked at, but look closer, and really study it. There has to be much more data like this out there. I would suggest when we find data like this, we point out the inconsistencies and send it to our Representatives in Congress, particularly the three that drafted this letter:
http://www.house.gov/judiciary_democrats/g...004ltr11504.pdf which I picked up from this thread today:
http://commongroundcommonsense.ipbhost.com...=220&#entry5564
It's a pdf file which took a while to load on my computer.

Check out this data!
On this chart be sure to read the explanation below the charts, before trying to make sense of the data. Then really look at the expected votes vs the actual votes in the op-scan chart. There are some cases where the numbers are almost flipped, and many where the actual vs the expected votes are doubled/tripled/or more for the Rep. and reduced for the Dems (see Holmes, Putnam, Suwannee, and Union Counties for some examples). This does not make sense at all considering what the pre-election polls for Florida were showing. Could that many Dems in Florida suddenly have had a fit of the "lazies" on election day, and just not voted? Doesn't seem very likely to me.

CNN just had a show on that basically called the bloggers who are talking about the inaccuracies of the exit polls vs. the "real" numbers sore losers and even had a cartoon with Bush & his cronies singing "We Are The Champions". That really pissed me off!!! mad.gif tongue.gif
elninophen
Yes, I know that there is some margin for error for the exit polls, but the results that Bush had were well outside the margin for error. There's no way that so many REGISTERED DEMOCRATS would have voted for Bush. It would be very fair if Bush received maybe 10 - 20% of the Democrat votes, but more than 50%??? You've got to be kidding me.....

HOLY SH*T!! EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS....JUST FOR VOLUSIA COUNTY.
First look at this link http://enight.dos.state.fl.us/ and look at the total number of voters for Volusia County--its 209,052.

Now, look at this link http://enight.dos.state.fl.us/DetailRpt.As...GRP=&DATAMODE=E
This gives the breakdown of how many people voted for which candidate--total up the amount of votes in Volusia County--it adds up to 228,358!!! 19,306 EXTRA VOTES WERE CAST IN THIS COUNTY ALONE!!!!!!!

I'm puzzled by this. When I go the first site, and pick results for Volusia county, all it gives me are the totals for the entire state for the Presidential race. I've tried this several times over the last day and keep getting the same lack of real result. Am I doing something wrong? Exactly how are you finding that 209,052 figure?

There are 309,000+ registered voters in the county. Could the additional numbers be from absentee ballots? Is the 226,863 turnout number mean only those who actually went to the polls? It doesn't say on the page.

We've been sending stuff to the media and they're pretty much ignoring it. They don't seem to want to admit that there is even a possibility of voter fraud having taken place. I'm really furious. Just like during the campaign, they're bought and paid for by the Republicans and that sure isn't going to change anytime soon. mad.gif

All you need to do is total all the votes for all the candidates in the county.
wicheewoman
Is it possible that the figure in question are the "early" voting numbers, added to those who voted on election day? Although, the poop was the Kerry was ahead in the early voting also. wink.gif

I don't know..... it seems really dubious that the numbers of the page with the registered voters and total turnout do not add up to the number votes on the page with the actual vote breakdown by candidate. Just do the math yourself. For some counties, there were more votes that turnout, for some counties far less.

Just do this in excel....

1. Pull all the county data for the number of total votes cast from the voter turnout page. Then take all the total votes cast for each candidate by county. Remember, the turnout numbers are supposed to include absentees.

2. Compare the difference between the total number of votes cast by turnout and final result count.

The total number of votes unaccounted for, without Hernando county, equal around 223,000!!!

Right: Lets get all those results broken down into XCEL spreadsheets and saved.

Then there'll be some hard proof that the statistics were all off for the counties using machines or being counted by GEMS....

"When I spoke with Jeff Fisher this morning (Saturday, November 06, 2004), the Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Florida's 16th District said he was waiting for the FBI to show up. Fisher has evidence, he says, not only that the Florida election was hacked, but of who hacked it and how. And not just this year, he said, but that these same people had previously hacked the Democratic primary race in 2002 so that Jeb Bush would not have to run against Janet Reno, who presented a real threat to Jeb, but instead against Bill McBride, who Jeb beat.

"It was practice for a national effort," Fisher told me.

And evidence is accumulating that the national effort happened on November 2, 2004.

The State of Florida, for example, publishes a county-by-county record of votes cast and people registered to vote by party affiliation. Net denizen Kathy Dopp compiled the official state information into a table, available at http://ustogether.org/Florida_Election.htm, and noticed something startling.

While the heavily scrutinized touch-screen voting machines seemed to produce results in which the registered Democrat/Republican ratios matched the Kerry/Bush vote, and so did the optically-scanned paper ballots in the larger counties, in Florida's smaller counties the results from the optically scanned paper ballots - fed into a central tabulator PC and thus vulnerable to hacking - seem to have been reversed.

In Baker County, for example, with 12,887 registered voters, 69.3% of them Democrats and 24.3% of them Republicans, the vote was only 2,180 for Kerry and 7,738 for Bush, the opposite of what is seen everywhere else in the country where registered Democrats largely voted for Kerry.

In Dixie County, with 4,988 registered voters, 77.5% of them Democrats and a mere 15% registered as Republicans, only 1,959 people voted for Kerry, but 4,433 voted for Bush.

The pattern repeats over and over again - but only in the smaller counties where, it was probably assumed, the small voter numbers wouldn't be much noticed. Franklin County, 77.3% registered Democrats, went 58.5% for Bush. Holmes County, 72.7% registered Democrats, went 77.25% for Bush.

Yet in the larger counties, where such anomalies would be more obvious to the news media, high percentages of registered Democrats equaled high percentages of votes for Kerry.

More visual analysis of the results can be seen at http://ustogether.org/election04/FloridaDataStats.htm, and www.rubberbug.com/temp/Florida2004chart.htm.

And, although elections officials didn't notice these anomalies, in aggregate they were enough to swing Florida from Kerry to Bush. If you simply go through the analysis of these counties and reverse the "anomalous" numbers in those counties that appear to have been hacked, suddenly the Florida election results resemble the Florida exit poll results: Kerry won, and won big.

Those exit poll results have been a problem for reporters ever since Election Day.

Election night, I'd been doing live election coverage for WDEV, one of the radio stations that carries my syndicated show, and, just after midnight, during the 12:20 a.m. Associated Press Radio News feed, I was startled to hear the reporter detail how Karen Hughes had earlier sat George W. Bush down to inform him that he'd lost the election. The exit polls were clear: Kerry was winning in a landslide. "Bush took the news stoically," noted the AP report.

But then the computers reported something different. In several pivotal states.

Conservatives see a conspiracy here: They think the exit polls were rigged.

Dick Morris, the infamous political consultant to the first Clinton campaign who became a Republican consultant and Fox News regular, wrote an article for The Hill, the publication read by every political junkie in Washington, DC, in which he made a couple of brilliant points.

"Exit Polls are almost never wrong," Morris wrote. "They eliminate the two major potential fallacies in survey research by correctly separating actual voters from those who pretend they will cast ballots but never do and by substituting actual observation for guesswork in judging the relative turnout of different parts of the state."

He added: "So, according to ABC-TVs exit polls, for example, Kerry was slated to carry Florida, Ohio, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, and Iowa, all of which Bush carried. The only swing state the network had going to Bush was West Virginia, which the president won by 10 points."

Yet a few hours after the exit polls were showing a clear Kerry sweep, as the computerized vote numbers began to come in from the various states the election was called for Bush.

How could this happen?

On the CNBC TV show "Topic A With Tina Brown," several months ago, Howard Dean had filled in for Tina Brown as guest host. His guest was Bev Harris, the Seattle grandmother who started www.blackboxvoting.org from her living room. Bev pointed out that regardless of how votes were tabulated (other than hand counts, only done in odd places like small towns in Vermont), the real "counting" is done by computers. Be they Diebold Opti-Scan machines, which read paper ballots filled in by pencil or ink in the voter's hand, or the scanners that read punch cards, or the machines that simply record a touch of the screen, in all cases the final tally is sent to a "central tabulator" machine.

That central tabulator computer is a Windows-based PC.

"In a voting system," Harris explained to Dean on national television, "you have all the different voting machines at all the different polling places, sometimes, as in a county like mine, there's a thousand polling places in a single county. All those machines feed into the one machine so it can add up all the votes. So, of course, if you were going to do something you shouldn't to a voting machine, would it be more convenient to do it to each of the 4000 machines, or just come in here and deal with all of them at once?"

Dean nodded in rhetorical agreement, and Harris continued. "What surprises people is that the central tabulator is just a PC, like what you and I use. It's just a regular computer."

"So," Dean said, "anybody who can hack into a PC can hack into a central tabulator?"

Harris nodded affirmation, and pointed out how Diebold uses a program called GEMS, which fills the screen of the PC and effectively turns it into the central tabulator system. "This is the official program that the County Supervisor sees," she said, pointing to a PC that was sitting between them loaded with Diebold's software.

Bev then had Dean open the GEMS program to see the results of a test election. They went to the screen titled "Election Summary Report" and waited a moment while the PC "adds up all the votes from all the various precincts," and then saw that in this faux election Howard Dean had 1000 votes, Lex Luthor had 500, and Tiger Woods had none. Dean was winning.

"Of course, you can't tamper with this software," Harris noted. Diebold wrote a pretty good program.

But, it's running on a Windows PC.

So Harris had Dean close the Diebold GEMS software, go back to the normal Windows PC desktop, click on the "My Computer" icon, choose "Local Disk C:," open the folder titled GEMS, and open the sub-folder "LocalDB" which, Harris noted, "stands for local database, that's where they keep the votes." Harris then had Dean double-click on a file in that folder titled "Central Tabulator Votes," which caused the PC to open the vote count in a database program like Excel.

In the "Sum of the Candidates" row of numbers, she found that in one precinct Dean had received 800 votes and Lex Luthor had gotten 400.

"Let's just flip those," Harris said, as Dean cut and pasted the numbers from one cell into the other. "And," she added magnanimously, "let's give 100 votes to Tiger."

They closed the database, went back into the official GEMS software "the legitimate way, you're the county supervisor and you're checking on the progress of your election."

As the screen displayed the official voter tabulation, Harris said, "And you can see now that Howard Dean has only 500 votes, Lex Luthor has 900, and Tiger Woods has 100." Dean, the winner, was now the loser.

Harris sat up a bit straighter, smiled, and said, "We just edited an election, and it took us 90 seconds."

On live national television. (You can see the clip on www.votergate.tv.)

Which brings us back to Morris and those pesky exit polls that had Karen Hughes telling George W. Bush that he'd lost the election in a landslide.

Morris's conspiracy theory is that the exit polls "were sabotage" to cause people in the western states to not bother voting for Bush, since the networks would call the election based on the exit polls for Kerry. But the networks didn't do that, and had never intended to. It makes far more sense that the exit polls were right - they weren't done on Diebold PCs - and that the vote itself was hacked.

And not only for the presidential candidate - Jeff Fisher thinks this hit him and pretty much every other Democratic candidate for national office in the most-hacked swing states.

So far, the only national "mainstream" media to come close to this story was Keith Olbermann on his show Friday night, November 5th, when he noted that it was curious that all the voting machine irregularities so far uncovered seem to favor Bush. In the meantime, the Washington Post and other media are now going through single-bullet-theory-like contortions to explain how the exit polls had failed.

But I agree with Fox's Dick Morris on this one, at least in large part. Wrapping up his story for The Hill, Morris wrote in his final paragraph, "This was no mere mistake. Exit polls cannot be as wrong across the board as they were on election night. I suspect foul play."

Look at 2000. Gore won Volusia by 15,000 votes. THERE IS NO WAY BUSH PICKED UP 20,000 MORE VOTES THAN KERRY TO WIN THAT COUNTY. There is a huge gay community in that county.

Bush would have had to pick up 34,000 votes to get to the number he got in 2004.

There must be an explanation. How could such a discrepancy go uncontested? Do the 233,615 votes represent "absentee" and are thereby not considered as part of the "turnout". If not, this is an outrage! mad.gif

The Miami-Dade and Palm Beach there are a total of 142,753 votes less than the total turnout reported, both strong democrat counties. Osceola is another strong democrat county, turns out short by 18,589 votes. Volusia, another democrat stronghold, comes out 19,306 short.

Counties that had more registered Republicans, such as Escambia and Pinellas both turned out an extra 18,193 and 2,010 votes than the total turnout respectively.

Now more than ever, it is becoming clear that it is more voter fraud out there. I hope this can shed some light on Bush. He would leave the WH in disgrace.

CNN has a good article on the electronic votiing machines:



By Daniel Sieberg
CNN
Friday, November 5, 2004 Posted: 4:58 PM EST (2158 GMT)


ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Can Chad finally go back to being an African nation?

This year, there was no mention of the hanging or pregnant variety of chad, no prolonged investigation into what went wrong, and lawyers for both sides got all wound up with nowhere to vent their litigation.

But the lack of a hotly contested outcome in 2004 may be a double-edged sword for electronic voting. (Special Report: America Votes 2004)

All eyes were on e-voting this time around as nearly a third of U.S. voters used some type of high-tech device.

The machines were designed to eliminate the problems associated with paper, but critics have been vocal in saying too many states jumped the gun to get them in place.

They worried about the lack of a voter-verified paper trail (only Nevada offers that to all voters in the state), weak software and the same digital disasters that come with computers. (Nevada improves odds with e-vote, Nevada election results)

So how did they perform?

The short, albeit unsatisfying answer is that it's still too early to know for certain.

But at least one member of the Caltech/MIT Voting Technology Project, which has been studying e-voting since 2000, said overall the machines seemed to perform beyond expectations.

"We are not receiving any reports of any huge systematic meltdowns regarding electronic voting, and certainly e-voting seems to have had the same sort of glitches we've seen in other paper-based voting systems," said R. Michael Alvarez, professor of political science at the California Institute of Technology.

"I'd give it a good passing grade, maybe a B, and I'd give the paper-based analogs about the same grade."

Alvarez added that many of the problems in 2004 appear to be related to human error, either on the part of voters or poll workers.

"The problems that arose are primarily process problems," he said. "The problems were procedural -- there were long lines, there were problems checking voters in, there were voter registration problems, there were many provisional ballots issued. ... Some of those problems hopefully will be fixed by technology."

Critics not satisfied
Bruce Schneier, security expert and chief technology officer at Counterpane Internet Security Inc., said the lack of any serious breakdowns does not mean problems aren't hidden inside the machines. He said he's concerned about the problems that aren't as obvious as a meltdown. (Voting methods under close watch)

"E-voting didn't pass any test," Schneier said. "What we have here is anecdotal evidence. A medical procedure might be safe or dangerous. And just because the patient didn't die does not mean that the procedure is safe."

Schneier said he hopes computer scientists and security analysts will continue to scrutinize the machines, even as the country moves beyond the election results.

While there were no major meltdowns reported, e-voting watchdogs such as the nonpartisan, nonprofit Verified Voting Foundation posted thousands of complaints on its Web site. It's impossible to verify all of them independently, but CNN did learn of some incidents where the technology appeared to malfunction.

In Florida, and a handful of other states, several voters said the touch-screen machines incorrectly recorded their choices. (Florida election results)

"I filled out my ballot and was shocked when I went to the final screen, and the ballot had voted for the opposite of what I had chosen on every candidate," one woman in Florida said.

The maker of those machines, Sequoia Voting Systems Inc., said the poll workers may not have calibrated them properly.

Elsewhere, in Louisiana, some voters were reportedly turned away since the machines wouldn't boot up. (Louisiana election results)

"In New Orleans, the machines just crashed," Schneier said. "They didn't work. And there was no backup planned; there were no paper ballots."

Even with hundreds or thousands of problems, it was a relatively small number considering that about 40 million people e-voted.

Manufacturers make victory speeches
One voting machine company, Diebold Election Systems Inc., said its devices did well under pressure.

"The machines performed extremely well," said Mark Radke, director of marketing for Diebold.

"Considering the size of the turnout, [which] I believe was a record turnout, we were extremely pleased with the reliability and accuracy of all the equipment."

Much of the e-voting effort has to do with instilling confidence in the voter. But that may take time, said one of the judges who inspected the Florida ballots in 2000.

"People talk about going back to a paper ballot, but you know in 2000 we used paper and that didn't do a lot to instill voter confidence," said Judge Charles Burton.

"I stood in line ... to vote, and as they were handing out the plastic cards that you insert, some lady said to me, 'Judge, you sure this isn't preprogrammed.' So people still have their doubts."

The Help America Vote Act of 2002 requires counties across the country to move toward eliminating punch cards and lever machines by 2006. And both sides of the debate agree there are e-voting merits, such as the ability of disabled people to use the machines without assistance, ease of voting choices and faster tabulation.

But with so much at stake, the decisions made today must be handled carefully like, well, a ballot.

The presidential election of 2004 is history.

Now it's a matter of securing e-voting's future.

The turnout total of 7,350,900 does seem to include absentee ballots: "100%" totals; absentees: "Y."

The "turnout" is extraordinary -- over "80%" in some precincts.

My pencil-on-the-back-of-an-envelope sum for presidential votes cast is 7,589,422 - a difference of 238, 522.

Palm Beach turned up about 90,774 less than the reported turnout and Miami-Dade turned out 51,979 less, hence 142,753.
