but it's been my experience that people don't really understand one of the major problems of this election. It may be one of the reasons why we've been called conspiracy theorists. It's just not easy for some people to figure it out for themselves. I've worked out the following simplified explanation that seems to work well. Possibly you could make the way the GEMS tabulator decided the election more understandable. The Republicans didn't win any of the offices by any margin, nor did they lose. The same goes for the Democrats. It works this way. The kind of ballot doesn't matter. It can be paperless electronic (which has problems of its own), punch card ballot, optical scan ballots, other paper ballots, absentee ballots, military absentee ballots etc. ALL BALLOTS! The ballots were counted locally, in each precinct. Those totals were then sent to the Central GEMS Tabulator in each county from all the precincts. The totals were then tallied by the GEMS Tabulator which is a regular computer with a windows OS and if you have ever worked with a computer, you know how easily the final tabulation could have been manipulated. It has a Diebold program that allows the totals to be changed without a trace. The GEMS Tabulator tallies as many as two million votes at a time. These tallies are what wheres given as the final number of votes. Basically, as the exit polls were taken, the local precincts were able to add up the number of votes for each candidate and at that point the exit polls and the results agreed. It wasn't until the individual precincts sent their results to be tallied by the Central GEMS tabulator that a discrepancy occurred between the results and the exit polls.
Now for the "What do we do about it" part. With all forms of ballots, expert the paperless touch screen voting machines, there are still ballots that can be recounted. If those raw figures from each precinct are collected without their going through the GEMS Tabulator, the true results can be discovered.
Now do you get it? Many areas DID NOT use the touch screen paperless machines. There were a number of different types of ballots. There was NOT a clear mandate. Now, does all that make sense?
Nobody won. Nobody lost. The GEMS tabulator didn't just affect the outcome of the presidential race but those the house and senate as well. There was no mandate for any of the candidates. There was only what the GEMS tabulator said. The GEMS tabulator decided the election
