Fuzzy math

It seems that, according to the Florida Department of State, there were 150,000 more votes cast for president than actual voters. (To simplify, let’s say you have 10 people who voted and the final totals showed 5 votes for Candidate K and 9 votes for Candidate B - that’s 4 votes more than could have possibly been cast - there is a problem somewhere.)

Now, I know this seems astonishing, but keep in mind that a similar phenomena in Ohio gave Bush an extra 4,000 votes in a precinct in which only 638 votes were cast. Stay tuned.

How very surprising . . . that they let this information get out, I mean. Not that it happened.

And keep in mind that it happened in Gahanna, a suburb of Columbus with a large black population.

The question is, if we can conclusively prove that things were rigged, will anything change?
