Colorado election totals look "funny"

Renewable energy is a democratic issue.. Salazar was a democratic candidate..

Do we really believe that democrats who were chomping at the bit to vote, voted in the numbers they did for Salazar and renewable energy, and totally flipped an voted in the same numbers.. for *² ???

1. If you add up the total votes in the CDs
they don't look that funny. Almost the same number of people voted for the Democratic candidate in the congressional districts as voted for John Kerry.

2. That's like Boone Co Missouri passing two marijuana propositions.
The two marijuana propositions passed by 60% but the county went to Bush.

Somehow I don't see Bush voters passing any proposition having to do with marijuana.

3. I agree there are a lot of unbelievable things in this "bush" vote
if we can ever really get an audit of what we can Im sure it will show massive manipulation.

a big "IF"

4. It was a propaganda campaign extraordinaire....
Nobody ever deserved to lose more than George W Bush and they were able to convince the majority of people that nobody ever deserved the presidency less than John Kerry. A simple plan. But very effective.

5. I agree SoCalDem
It is not impossible that Salazar would be more popular than Kerry, but it is weird how the totals are such a mirror image of each other. That seems unlikely. And then the renewable energy issue - it is not surprising that the total number of people voting on the issue is less than the number voting for the top of the ticket, but again it is a mirror image.

There are so many things about this election that while they aren't "proof" - as I am sure someone will soon be on this thread saying - defy the odds and are at variance with accumulated wisdom about election results from thousands of previous elections.

I think that leads to two possible conclusions - this election was manipulated; or the most dramatic change in voting patterns ever in American history has just occurred. Either is cause for concern and alarm IMHO.

And then, do we not have to ask -

Why did all of the "glitches" and anomalies favor one candidate?

Why did these radically new and unusual voting patterns only happen coincidentally where they needed to happen for one of the candidates?

8. Colorado is a politically volatile state right now.
It has a lot of independent (nonaffiliated) voters. That might account for some of it.

9. My Absentee Ballot Hasn't Been Counted Yet
and while reading the paper this AM, a guy who works at the Elections Commission said he will vote by machine next time, because he wants his vote to "count"
