5. No matter what 'factor' the spinmeisters come up with, there is still no
realistic or honest way to explain how bush** came out smelling like a rose in states where he was losing in the polls. Especially the exit polls.

Ohio's economic and jobs situation in itself makes it too big a reach to believe that all of a sudden thousands upon thousands flocked to the polls to vote against their own economic and best interests.

Blackwell was never subtle about his intent to screw with the voters to get the results he wanted. Being the head of the bush** election campaign in Ohio and being in charge of the election just screamed conflict of interest from the start (and an outright opportunity for a corrupt electoral process). One would think just the reports of voter intimidation and disenfranchisement would have been enough to invalidate the results at once. But when you 'factor' in the reality that so many polling places didn't have enough 'machines', the provisional ballot fiasco, and the votes that were discarded, you have the perfect recipe for fraud.

What's the old saying "if it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, then..."?
