10. This can't be good news for Ms Nickolaus....
Edited on Fri Apr-15-11 02:45 AM by Mr_Jefferson_24
...but this woman isn't the only troubling aspect in all this.

We're being asked to believe that after nearly 1.5 million votes cast in this two candidate race, that they were initially separated by a mere 206 votes (less that 14 hundredths of one percent of the total votes cast).

This means that for roughly every 700 votes cast they were evenly split (350 - 350) only to be separated by that next 701st vote. Would it not be an unlikely result in a high school where the students were voting in a two candidate race for their class president, and with 701 total votes cast, to have a 350 to 351 result?

Now think of this unlikely result for the first 701 votes cast, and then the next 701, and the next, and the next, and so on and so on. . . . until this has been repeated over 2000 times, which is what we were initially asked to believe for this race.

The likelihood of this remarkably small margin after nearly 1.5 million votes cast is next to nil, and our unauditable E-voting systems controlled by private corporations, now widely spread throughout the whole country, have, all too often, produced similarly unlikely results.
