the problems of the questionable 2,000 and 2,004 election results were not addressed. I shared your reaction. This has never been answered to my satisfaction.

One question has been answered for certain, however. When exit polls do not match vote tallies clearly someone has tampered with the results. To my understanding this was the case with the 2,004 election in Ohio. Exit polls were wildly different that the vote count.

I want to say something else about the 2,004 presidential election.

I have never before witnessed such support for a candidate in Ohio as I witnessed for candidate John Kerry. People in my area had their yards absolutely filled with Kerry signs.

Where ordinarily one would see about a 50/50 Democratic/Republican yard sign frequency, in 2004 you had to hunt for a Dubya sign. That alone convinces me that something big happened to skew the election results.

And nothing was done about it.
