The Fix Was In

From jwz,

Ok, first of all, I recognise that I WANT TO BELIEVE that the election was rigged, because I would feel less bad about a coup than I would about the people actually voting these fundamentalists into power. (But that there was a chance of the race being even close was already profoundly disturbing.)...

You don't steal an election with a landslide, you steal it with 3%. You stay within the margin of error across the board so that it's not obvious.

In that post, he links to Florida result details. As the page says at the top, look at the percent change columns, on the far right (no pun intended), especially in the second ("Op-Scan Precinct") table. Isn't it amazing, damn near astounding, how only 13 of 52 precincts had more Democratic votes than expected, with the greatest change being 37%, while all 52 precincts had more Republican votes, many having way the fuck more, with the greatest being 459%?!

Or as I thought before, this is probably just a really big coincidence. I should listen to the Right-Wingers and just trust the Big Friendly Republican Government to run the elections, and stop worrying my little head about it.
