2. Now if they get from their homes to the polls
even if everybody voted strictly by party affiliation... Bush has lost Florida

Hence why they want to ahem, clear the rolls and do other shennanigans

6. Which way do the independents tend to swing?
If Kerry gets more than 50% of the indies, and they do a good job of GOTV, Kerry could have it. Very, very cool.

I can't imagine that the minority population that got so shut out of the last election is going to stand for that this time. I'd also think people will be extra careful about voting (ie. making sure they don't over or under vote, no hanging chads, etc.). And I know that a lot of Floridians are VERY unhappy with how the repairs, etc. are going on the hurricane damage and they blame the FEDS.

7. Is this the current state of things, or NEW registrations in July alone?
I'm not sure how to read the chart.

8. it's the overall total by july
Edited on Thu Sep-23-04 12:52 AM by sonicx
so its very dated.

florida had 8,752,717 registered voters total for 2000's election. of course the voting age population has grown since, but 2004's number looks like it will be huge. :)

10. Looking at this you can see why the theft of Florida's DEM vote was
such an astonishing travesty and perversion of democracy.

Focus on Duval County, a predominantly DEM county that is supposed to have voted for Bush (!) by an absurdly wide margin in 2000 (152,460-108039)

Doing some (generous to the GOP) calculations that the IND vote may have split evenly between DEM and GOP and that the IND turnout was the state average of 55%

Then it follows that

In order for the supposed 2000 results to have occured (in a majority DEM county I repeat) then GOP turnout must have exceeded 76% compared with DEM turnout of under 39%. This is a glaring statistical anomoly unmatched in any other county.

THIS is where the Florida vote was stolen while the media circle jerked their way through "chads" and whatnot. About 50,000 DEM votes went missing by some calculations. THIS is what the Black Caucus congress members where talking about in the beginning of "Fahrenheit 9/11"...not butterfly ballots and hanging chads.

THIS is what you need to know heading into the 2004 election. The Duval County vote tally was the fraud that elected Bush.

Register and turnout the DEM vote in Duval...flood the county with poll watchers to make sure the votes are counted... and Bush will lose Florida.

11. If I remember correctly Duval County
was the "real" place of the election theft by Bush according to Greg Palast. Shoot. I'm trying to remember this off the top of my head, so don't quote me. This is the county where I believe the optical scanning machines in the poorer black areas were so messed up that possibly thousands of votes were thrown out for overvotes or undervotes. The wealthier white parts of the county had mint condition machines. This was the main reason that so many people thought Gore made a terrible mistake by not asking for a hand count in all Florida counties instead of the 3 or 4 big Democratic leaning counties like Broward (where I live), Miami/Dade and Palm Beach County. If they had hand-counted all of Duval county's ballots and gone by voter intent ( directions led many people to mark by the name of Bush or Gore AND write in the name and if you did this it was thrown out as an overvote ) all those ballots that had a mark by Gore and his name written in would have counted under the voter intent rule.

Yes, it was extremely upsetting knowing that the state had so obviously voted Gore over Bush by thousands of votes. Not 500, 800, 2000, but several thousand. grrrrrrrrr

13. Hmmmm, I wonder if MoveOn has checked on the equipment
If they have the same scanners as last time, well, THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED! It seems like this would be a pretty economical way of ensuring an ACCURATE vote in Florida, and it could hardly be looked upon as partisan, so MoveOn.org could pay for it rather than the MoveOn PAC.

14. The local news (in Duval) just reported last night that due to the
large number of voter registrations and the illegibility of many of the forms, they will not be able to register the people by the October deadline.

12. This is why Roger Stone and his band of Thugs
had to shut down the recount in Miami.

They were desperate to make sure Gore didn't win.
