theories I'm kicking around. They're based on the assumption that the allegations that Tom Feeney or someone like him, did manage to get software written to flip votes from Kerry to Bush and personal observations on election day.
The ridiculous numbers we're seeing in precincts where Bush didn't just win, but got more votes than were possible, may have been the result of two different Republican efforts.
(1) The computerized vote flipping. The vote flipping would have required a program that was installed days, weeks, months ahead of time. In other words, the one factor a computer programmer could not have anticipated before the election, was the number of absentee ballots. This would have had to have been manually manipulated to get the right numbers during and after election day. (Much like we saw happen in Ohio with the lockdown.)
(2) Those pesky absentee ballots. The Republican party got so good at sending them out in past elections, that they outdid themselves and this may end up being their downfall. They were probably so liberal in sending them out that they caused the one problem that would eventually expose the other frauds. The one weakness in voter registrations is the inactive voters. A county is suppose to red flag a voter whose mail gets returned after two years. But I noticed that some of them were still blue flagged up to 4 years. If they're blue flagged, they can vote the regular way -- no provisional. So, if the county did an incompetent or malicious job of keeping inactive voters on their registries, it would leave open a chance for someone to get a second vote. One from the county they were currently living in, and the other from the county which they once lived in. You add to this, an aggressive Republican mailing of absentee ballots and you end up with lots of people getting absentee ballots - WHO MAY NOT HAVE EVEN KNOWN IT WAS COMING FROM THEIR OLD COUNTY! So when they voted, they never realized they were voting in an old precinct. Then, on election day, when another aggressive Republican turn-out-the-vote organization called them to inform them that there was no record that they had yet voted in their current county, well, the poor puzzled voter (who already showed his lack of intelligence by being a Republican in the first place) goes down and votes again!
So, this creates an opportunity to create a smoking gun. It would explain why Bush had way too many votes in any one precinct.
For me, the fun part will be in tracking down the people that perpetuated this fraud; and, also, going another four years calling Bush an illegitimate and now, officially, crooked leader.
