Do we know what the Military Vote happened to be?
In Ohio, to my knowledge, they have never provided the number of absentee ballots or their expected split is.

I have speculated (yes I do not have any thing but speculation) that perhaps they are being secretive because the military vote is included and they don't want to publicize the vote didn't go overwhelming to the command in chief.

However, that got me to thinking. How did the military vote turn out? Do we know? Do we ever know? Is this year different than other years?

Part of the reason I ask is I remember at one time there was talk of allowing the troops to waive their right to a secret ballot and fax the ballot into the pentagon. Then they would distribute the votes to the proper location.

Any info???

2. How the hell would we know?
We don't even know how the people in this country voted. BTW, I sure am getting pissed at this situation.

I got a polling question of my own: I wonder what percentage of DUers believe that this election was stolen?

4. I'm with you..
I too am pissed. I don't believe any numbers that I see anymore. Everybody fucking lies, cheats. Fuck it. As for the percentate of DUers believing that this election is stolen, there's a thread on here somewhere. I'll see if I can find it.

3. The best we could hope for is 60-40 shrub
I'm sorry but that is it. Before swift boat slimes it was 55-45 shrub.
These are just the numbers I recall seeing.
There was a 70-30 poll but that was among career military types.
