128. One question please. Do you really believe that those extra . . .
voters standing in the long lines were the Evangelical Christians and they gave Bush a mandate? Exit polls, which sometimes they use and sometimes they do not (I cannot understand what is the decision for them or not for them).

In the 2000 election, 12% Evangelical Christians voted. In the election of 2002, 12% Evangelical Christians voted. Also, in the election of 2004, AGAIN, 12% Evangelical Christians voted.

Now Falwell, every Sunday on the Old Time Gospel Hour brings up that Bush owes them (literally uses the word "owes"). He "owes" them for getting him placed in office. I think Rev. Falwell needs to understand that the Evangelical Christians did not get Bush
(s)elected, it was, again, voter disinfranchisement.

An example that has really stood out for me is the point of a particular country or 2 or 3 or 4, etc., in Ohio had the following irregularities.

(These are not the exact figures but can give everyone an idea of the extreme differences).

In Franklin County Ohio (for example -- which is Columbus), there are a total of 90,000 registered voters. When the counts were finalized, Bush had 90,000 votes while Kerry had 6,000. How can 100% of the votes of registered voters all go to Bush, and then 6,000 votes go to Kerry when there are not that many registered voters? That is a total of 96,000 votes. When you have 90,000 registered voters, the totals added together for Dems, Republicans, Independents, etc., cannot exceed the total number of registered voters. Something stinks here, don't you agree?
