53. Lets try this civil like...if you are even capable of that
I'm not even going to address any more posts where you call me a liar. It's just not going to happen. You need to learn to act like an adult. So let's try just the facts one more time:

Early turnout shows 49% Democrats, 37% Republicans, 14% independent. Following the early voting, 11 races turned sharply Republican. by far the biggest turn was for Bush who jumped by 9%.

I suggest this occured because all information points to the concept that more Republicans voted than Democrats (40% to 39%) and more Democrats voted early. Obviously, more Bush voters remained (as well as Republicans in general).

You support the idea that the 49%-37% pairing held through the entire election (or some close proximity of it). To explain the exit polls, you suggest people just lied or didn't know what party they were really registered with. Further, all those races shifted pretty much because the Republicans cheated. The Democrats were happy about early results because they didn't know any better.

Does that pretty much cover it? The stuff we can agree on?
