Reply #13: I still don't buy this op-scan county registered Democrat theory....

[bj2110]

I't been said before, and I'll reiterate it...

Op-scans were used primarily in rural counties. Most (albeit not all) of these small, op-scan counties have high democratic registration levels yet voted Republican in Presidential race, just like they did in '96 and in '00. Yes, the '00 vote was probably tampered with also, but was '96?

Much of the so-called Democratic based relied on registered Democrats who have a pretty solid history of voting for a Republican president, even if it was Bob freakin' Dole.

Adjust these op-scan counties for this history and run the analysis again. You'll get a different result.

(Please notice I didn't use the term, "Dixiecrat." God, I hate that word...)
