Democratic Underground - Dear Dr. Dean:

Dear Dr. Dean:

Remember last summer when Bev Harris and YOU demonstrated on
live television how easily the voting machines could be
hacked?

So how come there is no mention in the DNC report of vote
switching as another possible factor in Kerry losing Ohio? 
Instead, the focus of the report is "voter
suppression". Well, if you press Kerry and it comes up
Bush, is that not voter suppression? 

We know about voter suppression. That obviously occurred. But
what really concerns us here is suppression of the truth.

There are many ways to skin a cat. And Ohio voters were
skinned many different ways on Election Day.

On Edit: Removed inappropriate comment 

HOW KERRY WON OHIO BY 51-48%... 

If you believe the Exit Poll, Kerry won OH by 160,000 votes.
If you believe the Vote, Bush won by 119,000 votes.

If Kerry won this solid Republican state by 51-48%, you just
KNOW he had to do 1-2% better nationally.

Which means he won the election by 6-8 million votes.
