14. Fraud is rampant. What do you call this?
Why do you suppose Cuyahoga County lied and claimed they had a terrorist threat to lockout the media from witnessing vote counting?

Or that Triad posted "cheat sheets" so workers wouldn't have to bother actually recounting ballots?

What on earth made votes "flip" from Kerry to Bush on so many review screens, but none went the other way?

What do you call it when voting machines are pre-programmed to default to Bush if no vote is cast, and to be cast aside as spoiled ballots (double votes) if a voter choose Kerry?

When a Democratic headquarters is burglarized, computerized voter records stolen, and Democrats are then sent mailers with bogus election dates and threats of arrest if they have unpaid parking tickets, I would call that fraud.

When thousands of Democratic registration forms are thrown away by people hired by the Republican Party to only register GOP voters, those Democrats have been defrauded.

When exit polls match tallied results in precincts with one method of voting, but precincts with certain types of voting machines all have an amazing reversal from exit poll to final outcome, what do you call that?

When a programmer testifies under oath that he was hired by a Republican Congressman to create vote-rigging software, it's obvious that fraud was intended.

When the Ohio Secretary of State refuses to count all votes, sends out the wrong weight of paper and then denies registrants the right to vote, withholds voting machines in minority neighborhoods, orders a place where ballots are stored to be left unsecured overnight, and defies state law to be sure suspicious precincts are not included in the recount, he has defrauded the voters.
