Isn’t that the truth. I poll watched in a close Red state and between live voters and absentee ballots, there was a 50% turnout at 9:45AM (30% live; 20 % absentee). Golly gee, lines were constant, which is to say huge, all day after that and the final turnout percentage was only 63%. You should have seen how they handled the machines, just picking them up and moving them around. The poll workers hadn’t a clue. There had to be at least an 80% turnout and magically it turned out to be 63%. We were robbed everywhere! It will be our turn in 2006 if we get right in their faces and let them know that we know all the nasty tricks and plan to call it on them in real time.
