...and it seems to lend credence to the notion that the vote stealing via secret source code was nationwide, but maybe not the same % everywhere (seems to be evidence they pretty much wrapped it up on the east coast, but with such a big Kerry reg & GOTV drive--new reg nationwide was Dem 57% vs. Rep 41%--low Bush approval rating, etc., they were taking no chances, and activating almost every backup plan).
San Bernardino County
Bush 55.4% Kerry 43.6%
Senate Barbara Boxer (lib woman, hated by the rightwing) - 49.8% Bill Jones (rightwing, anti-choice) - 45.4%
John F. Kerry Democratic 227,789 43.6 George W. Bush Republican 289,306 55.4
Barbara Boxer Democratic 251,776 49.8 Bill Jones Republican 229,527 45.4
So, what these numbers seem to mean is that something like 20,000 voters voted for Bush and Boxer--meaning that, if these were all real votes for Bush, a voter who voted for Bush, and had a choice of a fem lib woman, hated by the rightwing, and a rightwing, anti-choice, white male, for Senate, chose the femlib woman.
Am I right? How could Boxer pull that many more votes than Kerry, with the choices as stark as that?
Now, I can imagine SOME Republican women voting for choice, but I can't imagine THAT MANY voting for Boxer, because she's pro-choice, or because she's a woman, and then voting for Bush. A Bush/Boxer vote is pretty crazy.
I suspect that that 20,000 vote difference between Boxer and Kerry--or some good portion of it--were votes stolen from Kerry and given to Bush. (There would have to be some precinct level work, and disclosure of vote tabulator source code, to prove it.)
I also happen to know that the Dem reg and GOTV drive was unusually intense in this county (which used to be a big Dem labor/Hispanic county, and always did have a rightwing element but apparently has had more rightwing encroachment lately).
Am I reading these numbers right? That's sure what this looks like to me. Bush vote stealing.
Overall in the state, Boxer beat the pants off of Jones (so to speak) 57.8% to 37.8%, and Kerry beat Bush 54.4% vs. 44.4%. The SB County percentages are not consistent proportionally with Boxer outvoting Kerry statewide. Boxer drew 7% more than Kerry in SB, but outdrew him by only 3.4% statewide. What accounts for this? A special hatred of John Kerry in San Bernardino County?--which is also strewn with scattered Republican Boxer lovers? Doesn't make any sense.
---------
The difference between the total Prez vote and total Senate vote is 35,792 (more votes for Prez). Even so, I think that 20,000+ vote difference between Boxer and Kerry must mean Republican or Bush votes for Boxer.
Somebody help me out here. Am I right?
