theweaselking Hey, Americans:
An update for you on your alleged "election":
In every state using paper ballots, the exit polls match the elections results.
In the one state using electronic machines with 100% paper backups, Nevada, the exit polls match the election results.
Exit polls are what people use, internationally, to determine if elections are being cheated. They're what the USA will be using in Iraq and Afghanistan if either of those ever holds a real election.
In the states using electronic voting machines with no paper trail, and in those states alone, the exit polls do *not* match the election outcome. They're several percentage points off, in favour of Bush, in every state that's used electronic machines with no paper backup. Exit polls are not 100% reliable, but *every* swing state using voting machines with no paper backup's exit polls are all off, in favour of the same candidate, by the same amount - an amount that puts him ahead of his opponent instead of behind.
Oh, and those election machines are built by supporters of that candidate, and said builders have specifically *not* closed security holes or installed any kind of accountability features, *by design*.
You do the math.
Do yourself a favour. Look it up, it's all over the place. Start here or here if you can't find somewhere on your own.
You dumb fucks.
