8. So much for debunking
CLAIM: Electronic voting machines in Carteret County, N.C., mysteriously "lost" more than 4,500 votes - most of the votes cast in the county election!

This one is true, too, and disturbing.

Even Newsmax admits it.

12. Caught because it was over the top.
If the funny figures were off by 400 instead of 4000, would it be noticed? Just 400 in each of NC's 100 counties, = 40,000 votes. 40,000 x 50 states = 2,000,000 votes nationwide. Margins could be greater where * had a nice lead so his wins would attract no notice.

So glad this has been debunked.

11. "THEY" caught the mistake?

HA!!! What an out-right lie... They did no such thing...


< CLAIM: A voting machine in Franklin County, Ohio, recorded an extra 3,893 votes for Bush. [br />
This is perfectly true, and one of at least two serious voting machine mistakes around the country. When the results cartridge of an older-generation machine was plugged in to the counter, it reported almost 4,000 extra votes for Bush, when only 638 people had voted in the precinct.

At the risk of being labeled part of the plot, I want to point out that they caught this obvious mistake. You can't "stuff" the ballot box. There is a signed, independent record of how many people voted.]

13. Is there some reason why you looked at NewsMax in the first place?
Only rightwing idiots believe a single word printed at NewsMax. The information that is not borrowed from other news sources is pure rightie buttsucking.

Why waste your time?

22. The link to the freepers turning DU into Homeland security
directed me there and there was a picture of Skinner & co. on the front page so I clicked on it. I thought it was such a bizarre 'debunking' of the entire election fraud story that some people might be as amused as I was. Simple as that.

14. the sad fact is...
Edited on Fri Nov-12-04 04:54 PM by neohippie
At least the newsmax story, didn't look at just the florida dixiecrat counties... It admitted problems with voting machines as well, this story is better than that wired online article, which only considered the north florida vote.

Newsmax, should be forced by law to remove the word "news" from their title, its should be propogandamax or rightwingviewmax!

18. Amazing
It's amazing that they could manage time away from the Hilary for president stories that they've been running since before 2000 to debunk this. They must have pulled their ace anti-Michael Moore reporter away from his duties to do this. Or maybe it was that toe sucker Dick Morris who helped get to the bottom of this.
