  •  found more (4.00 / 2)

    Did my own spreadsheat on this... came up with a few more counties:

    County     Turnout   Votes Recorded  Over
    Collier      127409    128352              943
    Duval       379257    379614              357
    Lake         123751    123938              187
    Leon         136229    136314               85
    Okaloosa   89485     89707                222
    Orange     386104    387752              1648

    Also, Escambia County had 18193 under votes (11.29%) which is way out of line.  The second highest undervote percentage is Baker County with 1.03%.

    Remember, typically you will have a certain percentage of undervotes due to people choosing none of the above, or not registering a vote.  This is typically around 0.5%.  So when you see extra votes of, for instance, 1%, what you really have, in all likelyhood, is 1.5%

    Other Counties registered fairly low undervote percentages, and it might bear looking into if we can get a hold of the precinct numbers or better yet, the individual voting machine numbers (like we got for Franklin County, Ohio, for instance.)

    Remember, people... even if none of this yeilds enough votes to get Kerry into office, there is much more at stake here.  We're talking about preventing future election rigging. If the people who perpetrated this fraud get away with it again and again, you can be sure they will keep on doing it.  We have to uncover every attempt at rigging elections if we are ever going to be able to trust our system.  It doesn't matter if one particular case made enough of a difference to swing an election.  A crime was still committed.

    •  Confirmed your numbers (none / 0)

      I've got the same numbers. This is solid. Next step: send the info to every news and Democratic organization you can with links to the government sources for the information. Don't rely on attachments just in case they won't open them due to viruses and such.

      Your assertion that this is bigger than getting one person or another into office is also accurate. This is about preserving democracy and seeing that those who would rig the process need to be brought to justice. Not only do people need to believe that the process works - the process needs to actually work.
