You're completely missing the way this would work, and thus the larger point itself. Let say that on every tenth vote -- or third-and-a-half vote or whatever -- three votes are added to the Bush column (I don't know how the software was written, obviously, I am just trying to illustrate the flaw in your logic). Or fake votes were consistently added to keep Bush just ahead. Since a central republican-owned computer did all the tabulating after the electronic machines uploaded their data, it would also have been just as easy to skim extra votes from one state and add them to another. The variations are so simple to imagine, and there are endless varieties.

So, even if Jesus Christ was running on a ticket with Bill Clinton, there would still have been NO WAY to beat that system. Christ/Clinton could have garnered a trillion votes, and the software would simply have tallied up X number more for Bush. Simple as pie. You don't rig an election and risk civil war or jail or any of the other unknowns, unless you had that angle figured out. That is the whole point, and why any talk of "better candidates" is moot if you are to place any credence in the vote-rigging theory at all.
