OKLAHOMA RESULTS ASTOUNDING : RED SHIFT IN OK
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Sun Nov-28-04 06:42 PM by scubed
I saw a post here about 57 Oklahoma counties in which Kerry LOST votes in the final tally relative to what was reported in Tulsa World on 11/3/04 , so I went & checked it out. I've compared the numbers: the article is right,.
Here are the links:
OK official tallies: http://www.state.ok.us/~elections/04gen.html
Tulsa World: go to message 7 at http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=173x1047 (I can't get it to work as a direct link).
CNN http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004//pages/results/states/OK/P/00/county.000.html
Oklahoma Independent Media http://okimc.org/newswire.php?story_id=344I
There is also a thread in the OK section.

But, there's more. With 68.9% of the final votes reported in the Tulsa World, * leads Kerry 56.2% to 43.8%. The final split is 65.6% to 34.4%. Out of the final 31.1% of the vote reported later, 86.3% of those votes went to *. I find that a little hard to believe as well. It compares quite well to similar results in NC, except that there the percentages were switched: ~30% voted early, and * gained an unusually high percentage of the 70% who voted on election day.

Now, the real question, which I can't answer from here. How many total votes were RECORDED in these small counties? We know how many the state thinks were REPORTED. Were votes switched from * or were there ghost votes added after the counties reported?

CAN AN OKIE OR TWO OUT THERE PICK A COUNTY AND GET THE NUMBER OF VOTES CAST FOR KERRY AND FOR * AND THE NUMBER OF REGISTERED VOTERS. TRY TO LOOK AT THE ACTUAL POLL TAPES LIKE BEV DID IN FL. THIS MIGHT BE A SMOKING GUN!

Counties WITHOUT losses: Leflore, Mcintosh, Mayes, Muskogee, Oklahoma, Osage, Ottawa, Payne, Rogers, Tulsa, Wagoner. Anything else shows a net loss between the 11/3 results and the final tally.

PS This is my first DU post. My mom voted for *, and I would so much like to show her what he is really like. Please help! :hi:
