Could this be the way they rigged the votes for Bush?

[glarius]

Something I'm wondering about.....In the election Bush got about 3,500,000 more votes than Kerry in the popular vote. I've heard pundits say that because of this large margin, there is not much likelihood that Kerry could pick up enough votes in recounts to change the outcome.(The Republicans counted on the pundits thinking this way)....What I'm wondering is this....1/ .If the voting machines are bogus and capable of doing tricky things, why could not a Republican fixer add millions of votes into the total of popular votes for Bush to make it look good....2/..Is there a way for anyone to add up all the votes cast for Bush, in all the states to see if they add up to the total popular vote he is credited with?.....I don't know if I made myself clear?...:shrug:
