98. Forgive me if you all understand how this works ...
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, other paper ballots, absentee ballots, military absentee ballots etc. ALL BALLOTS! The ballots are counted locally, in each precinct. The totals are then sent to the Central GEMS Tabulator in each county from all the precincts. The totals are then tallied by the GEMS Tabulator which is a regular computer with a windows OS and if you've ever used the "Remote Desktop Connection," you know how easily the final tabulation can be 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 is given as the final number of votes.

Now for the "What do we do about it" part. With all forms of ballots, exept the paperless touch screen voting machines, there are still ballots that can be recounted. If those raw figures from each precinct are collected without going through the GEMS Tabulator, the jig is up! The plot is exposed and the villains foiled.

Now do you get it. Some of the "battleground" areas DID NOT use the touch screen paperless machines. There were a number of different types of ballots. There was NOT a clear mandate.


1. Massive numbers of people don't stand out in the rain or hot sun for hours just to vote for the status quo. 2. Kerry, was attracting crowds up to 60,000 people for his rallies. 3. There were negative votes. That is there was a record in several precints that a negative number of people voted at all. In some precincts there were more votes than there were registered voters. 4. In several Florida precincts, there was an emergency phone call that came in warning the precinct workers to unplug their modems, because there were hackers that were manipulating the votes. The precinct workers ignored the warning. Now does all that make sense?

Nobody won. Nobody lost. It didn't just affect the presidency, but the house and senate as well. There was no mandate. There was only what the GEMS tabultor said. The GEMS tabulator decided the election
