Dead voters sway election?
Republicans asking a judge to throw out the results of Washington's ultra-close gubernatorial election said they have found that 300 ballots were cast illegally.

So how many dead voters and felons voted in Ohio for Bush?

1. the real question is
how do they or we know who the dead people voted for, and who did the voting for them, considering we have secret ballots.

2. Same thing I was wondering...
they keep bringing up Chicago and Kennedy, to set it in peoples minds that this is a Democrat trick...so people just assume if dead people voted, then the Dems are at it again...

4. I agree and hence we need to go out of our way to prove that most
of the dirty tricks and cheating is now on the other side.

8. Lots more votes problematic on Repub side than Dem in Washington
Touchscreen fraud(switching Kerry votes to Bush) documented in Washington and malfeasance to reduce Dem votes by suppression of Dem registrations and absentees

15. Lots more dirty tricks on Repub side than Dem in Milwaukee
There were hugely more dirty tricks on the Republican side than the Dem side in Milwaukee- like most other states. The Repubs just do a better job of getting the Media's attention than the Dems. There were extremely widespread Repub. dirty tricks in Wisconsin. As well as suppression of minorities.

http://www.flcv.com/milwauke.html

The Repub dirty tricks in Wisconsin were much more serious and affected lots more voters. Yet the Dems apparently haven't said anything about it to the Media. I don't understand the Dems mentality.
(I'm independent and active in non-partisan orgs,
but some that are just non-partisan until a candidate is chosen based on our criteria)

16. Since there was so much dirty tricks in Wisc. ,why haven't they had hearin
hearings there like in Ohio and the ones going on in Florida now?
Are the grassroots groups not as active in Wisconsin?
And why are the law enforcement apparently only investigating dirty tricks by Dems?

10. Harry Carey, the old Cubs announcer
said when he died he wanted to be buried in Chicago so he could still vote.

25. Don't forget what Huey P. Long said:
"When I die, I hope they'll bury me in Louisiana, so I can remain active in politics."

18. How ironic. The only story I've seen is about the
guy in Washington who cast a vote FOR Republicans on behalf of his dead wife.

and the Asians from the king of Japan.
