Digital Vote Theft: How to counter the "negligible wrong counts" argument

I've noticed a tendency to spin the vote fraud by mentioning some smaller incidents with a few thousand irregular votes to let it appear that the sum would not be sufficient to change the outcome (Example: the first WashPost article).

This argument can easily debunked by the attacks on the central tabulator; we're in the digital realm here, and it just takes a mouse click to change the outcome massively.

From this point of view, it is important to prove that digital vote fraud happened; it doesn't matter how many votes have been changed; the potential is infinite, in principle.

1. "I'm sorry, it was only just one typo.
Sorry about that, Mr. Murdoch, but I cannot locate where your vast fortune went . . . Better luck next time. This happens occasionally. Thank you for banking with the First National Bank of zbdent."

2. THAT would definitely get media attention! LOL!
How would they spin that, I wonder?

3. SO far they have only found the obvious mistakes
Edited on Fri Nov-12-04 12:24 PM by NewYorkerfromMass
Mistakes with a magnitude of error of 100 to 1000 percent are easy to find.
It is the ones of only 5, 6, and 7 percent that would be harder to find, and may very well have given Bush the election.

Each county could be massaged to hide any outlandish totals. They obviously slipped up badly in that one Ohio town.

4. Such a good point you make
Someone else pointed out a few days ago that shaving votes in BOTH Bush and Kerry strongholds is a good idea because, in the case of Kerry strongholds, just as long as he still won that "stronghold" area, no one would ask any questions or be suspicious.

You do that around a state -- even MORE votes for Bush in Bush strongholds and MORE votes for Bush (with Kerry still winning) in Kerry strongholds and it's not all that difficult to win a whole state AND, over a number of states, rack up a 3.5 million margin in the popular vote, which itself helps keep questions at bay.
