Dispelling Some
Exit Poll Myths


From the 7:30 p.m. exit poll to the final numbers, Bush gained 6% --reversing a 51-48 Kerry lead into a Bush 51-48 lead. Some common myths:

1. The earlier exit poll oversampled women. Wrong.
    The 7:30 p.m. exit poll had 54% women and 46% men.
    The final exit poll data had 54% women and 46% men.

2. The earlier exit poll oversampled minorities. Wrong.
    The 7:30 p.m. poll had 11% blacks and 9% hispanics.     The final poll data had 11% blacks and 8% hispanics.

3. The earlier poll oversampled democrats. Wrong.
    The 7:30 p.m. poll had 38% democrats.
    The final exit poll had.. 37%. democrats.

4. The earlier poll undersampled rural voters. Wrong.
    The 7:30 p.m. poll had 16% rural voters.
    The final exit poll had.. 16% rural voters.
 
 
Ohio's Missing Votes:
The Triad Factor


In the 41 Triad counties the Kerry vote was 0.95% less than Gore's vote, whereas in the other 47 counties Kerry averaged 2.51% more than Gore.

If the Triad counties had given Kerry the same percent as non-Triad counties, then he would have 48,746 more votes than recorded. Adjusting for the exit poll discrepancy as well, gives Kerry 143,412 more votes in the Triad counties, more than enough to win Ohio.

Republican Reed faces
GOP wrath over recount decisions


Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed is taking some flack.

On talk radio, in blogs and elsewhere, republicans have questioned his party loyalty, his choice of attorneys, his hands-off approach with county auditors and nearly all the decisions he made that led to his certification of Democrat Christine Gregoire as governor-elect by a 129-vote lead. A friend of 30 years, John Giese, wrote: "I am one of those who has no intentions of supporting you in the future...."

Republican elders who warned of endless war are purged. Those who advised that Saddam had WMD'd, and that the war operation would be a "cakewalk", are rewarded.
 
 
Ohio Judge Denies Knowing Of Presidential Election Fraud Plot

Ongoing developments in Ohio legal cases have the potential to blow the lid off corrupt practices in Ohio's political and judicial spheres

And to land a sticky mess of election fraud and judicial bias before the US Supreme Court and/or legislators convening to roll-call the electoral college votes on Jan. 6th, 2005.

In an Ohio voters legal suit, the chief justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio has denied having personal knowledge of a plot to steal votes and has refused an emergency motion to recuse himself from the case.

"There is a lot of circumstantial evidence and I think we are getting some media coverage on the circumstantial evidence, for example the over vote, Cuyahoga County."

TEFLON KERRY:
More Slick Moves On Election Fraud


Under cover of John Edwards' late night promise to "count every vote," Kerry's lawyers have been adeptly pursuing evidence that could reverse the election outcome, while keeping their candidate so Teflon-coated that he remains untouchable by "sore loser," or "conspiracy theory" jibes.


In the last few days, Kerry has launched a further escalation of his legal involvement, while also leaving casual observers even more convinced that Bush is safely ensconced in office. It was yet another political dance routine with Kerry's now familiar two steps forward, one step back footwork.

Conspiracies Theorized,

by Keith Olbermann

Last Thursday night, his lead attorney on the ground in Ohio, Daniel J. Hoffheimer, issued a statement that constituted the third or fourth eyebrow-raiser from the Kerry camp in the post-election period.

This evening, after several Web columnists and bloggers joined me in questioning the bluntness of the phrase (one even wildly claiming [Ed: That's Us!]this was a precursor to a Kerry "un-concession"), Hoffheimer changed his tone.

If you haven't been following John Kerry closely, get ready to hear of surprising developments.

The vote-defrauded, potential president-in-waiting has just indicated that the validity of George Bush's reelection is no longer a given.

Those who act in concert with others to violate the Voting Rights Act or related laws should be confronted with the prospect of conspiracy charges in addition to criminal penalties (prison time) for individual offenses. That’s the way gangsters are brought down, every day.

The Ukraine is democracy in birth-pangs,
while America is democracy in death-throes, where corruption and fraud have become entrenched and accepted as part of the political landscape.

How did America arrive at this sordid state?
By means of 9/11, that's how. This has led to
widespread speculation that Bush and/or

I keep imagining the last moments of Gary’s life. He is looking down the barrel of a gun. Everyone he has ever trusted or loved has abandoned him: By that I mean everyone, including you and me.

The hand on the trigger at that moment is not his alone. Gary had to wait in line behind all those who set his suicide in motion years ago. It was a miracle he didn’t do this back when Mercury News editor Jerry Ceppos, now 58 and V.P. of Knight-Ridder, pulled the trigger on the most authentic journalistic career of the late 20th Century.

Gary never wrote with mere ink or pixels. Gary opened up a vein every time he sat down to tell us a new truth and he signed his byline, always, in blood. Fellow and sister journalists: The canary has died in the coal mine.

If only! If only! Why didn’t he tell us? Why did he have to die alone? Well, listen the fuck up, everybody: Society doesn’t allow us to talk about suicide. Fuck society. I’m going to talk about it now. ...more

In Sacramento red-light cameras have generated $4.3 million in fines over the last year...

Sheriff Lou Blanas likes them so much, in fact, that he’s teamed up with ACS* to sell red-light cameras to other cities and towns...

A Public Records Act request filed more than a month ago--seeking basic records like contract documents and monthly reports--remained unfilled at deadline...

In San Diego in 2001, ACS was discovered to have a contract with the city that paid the company a kickback each time a motorist was convicted --50 percent of the fine. That, Judge Ronald Styn ruled, gave ACS a clear financial motive to issue as many tickets as possible.

Wayne Madsen's
Vote Fraud Tale Spin

DEBUNKED by Fintan Dunne


When ex-NSA employee, Wayne Madsen hit the Internet with his tale of a massive electronic vote-stealing operation costing tens of millions of dollars, the story was greeted with skepticism by vote fraud activists. With good cause.

Despite their hunger for any report that would shed light on the exact method by which Bush had subverted the will of the people, Madsen's story --featuring a Cayman island bank, an offshore trust and a payoff check to conspirators for over $29 million-- was just a bit too tinfoil-hat for most.

Madsen reassured the doubters with promises to put more flesh on the bones of the story. After failing in two subsequent missives to add substantial details, he's finally laid it all out.

Unfortunately, even fully-fleshed, Madsen's story is a corpse with no detectable pulse and a missing heart. ...MORE

"According to a notarized affidavit signed by Clint Curtis, while he was employed by the Yang Enterprises, Inc., during 2000, Feeney solicited him to write a program to suppress the Democratic vote in counties with large Democratic registrations. According to Curtis, Feeney and other top brass at Yang Enterprises, wanted the program, to be "undetectable" to voters and election supervisors."

Re-Vote, Not Recount, in Ohio

The election in Ohio stinks. But a recount probably won't do much good in three counties that have suspicious numbers -- Franklin, Mahoning, and Warren. We have votes in three important counties that may have been lost forever.

However, we have numerous reports of civil rights violations and voter suppression throughout the state. With all these anomalies that may be uncorrectable through a recount, the only logical solution is to conduct a re-vote throughout the entire state using paper ballots.

Something's fishy in Ohio

BY JESSE JACKSON

The vote in Ohio decided the presidential race, but it was marred by intolerable, and often partisan, irregularities and discrepancies.

In one of dozens of examples, Ellen Connally, an African-American candidate running an underfunded race for Cheif Justice at the bottom of the ticket, received over 257,000 more votes than Kerry in 37 counties. She ran better than Kerry where she wasn't known than she did where she was known and did campaign.

It's 3 weeks after the election, and Ohio still hasn't counted the votes and certified the election. There should be a federal investigation of the vote count, with the partisan secretary of state removing himself from the scene.

Iraq's Outspoken Reporter

Newtopia: The US Corporate media consistently characterizes the Iraqi resistance as "foreign
terrorists and former Ba’athist insurgents". Is this accurate?

Dahr Jamail: This is propaganda of the worst kind. Most Iraqis refer to the Iraqi Resistance as "patriots." They are people who have had family members killed, detained, tortured and humiliated by the illegal occupiers of their shattered country. Calling them "foreign terrorists" and "Ba’athist insurgents" is simply a lie.

Fallujah's 9/11:
U.S. Used
Weapons of
Mass Destruction

November 9th, 2004 was Fallujah's 9/11 Tuesday. It marked the peak of 3 days of indiscriminate bombing by US forces.

The bomb blitz featured weapons of mass destruction:
banned napalm-type munitions, chemical poison gas and super-bombs of up to 2,000-pounds.

The ground assault was also indiscriminate. The target was a city where at least 60,000 civilians outnumbered rebel fighters by over thirty to one.

The evidence of those crimes is accumulating, as accounts by aid workers' from inside Fallujah manage to bypass reporting restrictions.  ..Our Exposé

"The relevant US commanders
should be immediately detained and interrogated --so we can determine
on whose orders they acted, that
others may also face justice"




The attack on Fallujah was the worst single terrorism
atrocity since 2,752 people died in New York on
Tuesday, 9/11/2001. The Iraqi Red Crescent fear
up to 6,000 killed so far, in the terror on Fallujah.

Bev Harris and Andy Stephenson made a back entrance surprise visit to Florida Election Supervisors meeting.

Harris went onto the podium. "I know I'm interrupting, " she said. "This will only take a minute." She turned to Palm Beach's LaPore, "Since we can't get your attention any other way, I'm serving you with this lawsuit."
 
 
How to Market a Siege:
The US Media and Fallujah


The Allawi government has repeatedly scolded reporters for stories that have been critical of the occupation. In the case of Al Aribiyya, a bomb blast killing 7, outside their Baghdad office was just the first shot fired over the bow.

Two weeks later their reporter was arrested in Falluja and hasn't been seen since. Last week two Sunni Clerics, were gunned down as they left their homes.

Massey said that the hostility of the Iraqi people to the presence of the US military grew exponentially in direct response to the brutal methods employed by American troops against the entire Iraqi population.

"It’s kind of hard to tell someone that they are being liberated when they just saw their child shot or lost their husband or grandmother."
