(13,409 posts)simply because their names are similar to felons? Odd, I really can't imagine that's the case. I'm very interested in seeing where you get your assertion that legal voters can legally be removed from voter lists due to that criteria. What Choicepoint (and the Bush team/Jeb/Harris) did was entirely illegal and is without a doubt election fraud. Just because they weren't held to account doesn't make what they did legal.
And you may have seen zero evidence of fraud in 2004, but that's not saying a whole hell of a lot. Ohio in 2004 was Florida in 2000. Exit polling has been used in democracies for decades to ensure legitimate elections, but in 2004 when the exit polls were entirely off base, television networks changed the exit poll results to match the "actual" results with no explanation as to why. Somehow, between 2000 and 2004, all of a sudden exit polling was now considered to be some sort of tea leaf reading pseudo-science. I'm glad you've got the sense to at least realize that the 2000 election was stolen, but your assessment of the lack of election fraud is still extremely optimistic.
Anyway, I'm off to make my trek home now.
