45. Did you mention anything about the lack of
sufficient voting machines?

I truly believe that senators will be more persuaded by the simple logistics of not enough voting machines to accommodate all the registered voters in a precinct within voting hours, than by claims of fraud substantiated by anecdotal information and vague "they could manipulate the vote because there's no backup" claims.

Understand that I do believe there was actual computer fraud in addition to this logistical nightmare caused by Blackwell's bs.

But we here have to understand that senators will not stand up in front of congress and claim someone "may" have tampered with the vote because statistically blah blah blah, and we have no paper backup. Or "someone must have" tampered with the votes because of the exit polls.

Hard facts like "only 35% of registered voters in XXX precinct could have voted within the 10 hours the polls were open" could be more persuasive.
