86. New idea of detecting fraud using exit polls and actual numbers
I believe the exit polls show Kerry winning. What if we could confirm that by getting a timed record of the actual votes as they emerged on Nov 2 from the AP? We might be able to catch the appearance of the "phantom votes" at a particular time. Or we could see if the accululating actual vote tallies paralleled or diverged from the exit polls.

From the thread on ballot scamming:

"by Lynn Landes 10/22/04
The Associated Press (AP) will be the sole source of raw vote totals for the major news broadcasters on Election Night. However, AP spokesmen Jack Stokes and John Jones refused to explain to this journalist how the AP will receive that information. They refused to confirm or deny that the AP will receive direct feed from voting machines and central vote tabulating computers across the country. But, circumstantial evidence suggests that is exactly what will happen.


And what can be downloaded can also be uploaded. Computer experts say that signals can travel both to and from computerized voting machines through wireless technology, modems, and even simple electricity."

We need this data!
