Showing Original Post only (View all)Long-timers: What was the deal with the election in 2004 [View all]
I clearly remember a big "conspiracy theory" (read: we were on to them) during the election, with either Cheney or Rove, et al having ties to the company that counted the votes or something...Was a tech firm, I can't remember the name, I think they were based out of Texas or New York? I know somebody knows...I would like the name of the firm, or some links to the salient discussions at that time. Thank you to whomever can help. I'm headed to bed, and I will check back in a few hours. Thanks again.
