1. So, you're saying that voting FOR Bush, FOR Repub Armey,

TYING the Repub & Dem S. Ct. Justices, FOR Dem. Frost and FOR Dem Valdez for Sheriff is being Democratic?

To be Democratic, the Dem. candidates need to, like, win.

Your precinct looks largely split, to me. Like the country is?

I'll look up my precinct and see how we did. (#1130)

2. I think you should re-examine the numbers

I've included 2000 results along with the 2004 results for comparison. Double-check them with the numbers from dalcoelections.org as well.

4. Oh, sorry. I didn't notice you had put Bush/Gore vote tallies up there.

That's what I was looking at. Sorry 'bout that.

5. No problem (n/t)

3. My precinct voted Repub straight down the line.

40% of them voted the straight Repub ticket. Not as many people voted straight Dem. ticket, probably because there simply aren't as many of us. Dems. vote straight ticket less often than Repubs, who KNOW they are supposed to stick together. They'll vote for any fool, as long as s/he is a Repub.
