"Explicit Statistical Evidence of Massive Ballot Tampering in Palm Beach, FL"

This was received from a highly places official in the Florida State government. I am not at liberty to identify him but this analysis speaks for itself.

 The statistical evidence is clear.

These statistics indicate that one or more  of the individuals who had access to the Palm Beach County ballots deliberatedly tampered the ballots in an attempt to make Al Gore and Joe Lieberman the winners.

Only a handful of individuals had such access.

Ordinarily, forensic evidence such as fingerprints could have been used to quickly identify the culprit(s) but the canvassers immediately went into the hand-count mode. Thousands of ballots were handled by everyone on the board thereby comprising the forensic evidence.

However, the tampered ballots were rejected by the machines for "over votes"(votes for two or more candidates for the same office). THESE ballots may not have been handled by the canvassers ( who were intent upon finding votes for Gore/Lieberman among the dimples, zits, pregnant chads etc among the "ambiguous" ballots.) These OVERVOTE ballots should be impounded immediately and the room in which the counting took place as well as contiguous closets and rest rooms should be sealed off and a thorough search made for the spindle, coat hanger wire, or other tool that may have been used to illegally punch out chads.

A crime was committed here.....a crime against all of the citizens of the United States ..... and every effort must be made to identify and punish the culprit(s).
 

This takes careful reading and may be boring to many of you but here it is:

Errors only Occurred in Presidential Races?

Editor's Note: The following statistical analysis was sent to me by Robert
Cook, PE, a nuclear engineer, with an MS in statistical quality control, a
software testing specialist and QA manager, who has a track record for
analyzing and correcting trends, errors, and mistakes in heavy construction
projects (ships, power plants, nuclear reactors, military and aerospace
vehicles, etc. for more than twenty years.)
Robert Cook presents here a remarkable statistical analysis of the Palm
Beach presidential ballot controversy that deserves serious investigation.
He says that the controversial 19,120 Presidential race ballots at issue
there were "destroyed by deliberate double-punching ballots in Palm Beach
County FL with a 'second punch' for Al Gore or Pat Buchanan. (In 1996, an
additional 15,000 Dole and Perot ballots were destroyed by double-punching
presidential ballots in Palm Beach County, FL. *)
"It uses simplified but wide-ranging statistical comparisons to establish
beyond doubt that democratic operatives "stole" by double-punching ballots
approximately 15,000 Bush votes in Palm Beach County; and approximately
3,400 additional Buchanan votes."

The charade of the transportation of millions of ballots
from Palm Beach and Miami to Tallahassee was pure theatre.

The wrong votes were sent to be counted in Tallahassee. They are going
to look at the "contested" votes (dimples, zits, pregnant. smudged,
etc.)

They SHOULD be looking at the ballots that were rejected for OVER VOTES
(two or more selections in the presidential column). There is where the mischief
was done.

The damage was done BEFORE this matter came under the microscope. The
smoke screen about the challenged ballots was raised to divert attention
from the truth......that despite massive ballot tampering, Al Gore did NOT pick
up the required number of votes and it became necessary to count zits and dimples.

Ref: Statistical evidence establishes beyond reasonable doubt that
19,120 Presidential race ballots were destroyed by deliberate double-punching
ballots in Palm Beach County FL with a "second punch" for Al Gore or Pat
Buchanan. (In 1996, an additional 15,000 Dole and Perot ballots were
destroyed by double-punching presidential ballots in Palm Beach County,FL.*)
The national error rate of double-punching ballots is less than 1/2 of
one percent, or at most, 1800 ballots in all of Palm Beach County, with
the errors between all races and all candidates.
19,120 double punched ballots -all in one race, with "errors" only
occurring in two Presidential races against Republican opposition - is 33,000
"too many" to be an accident.

Than Random Error in Florida Vote; by Jace Radke)
The news media is utterly focused on the Democratic Party spin that
voters were "confused" in Palm Beach, FL. They are ignoring the 15,000
Bush and 3,400 Buchanan votes that statistical evidence can show were stolen by
fraud in these 19,120 ballots.
There is explicit statistical evidence of massive ballot tampering in
Palm Beach FL. These ballots show Democratic voter fraud....NOT Republican
fraud or "voter error" as publicized by the national media. Statistical
evidence cannot prove any single ballot was tampered with, nor show
which individual tampered with any single ballot. It can show specific places
and times and methods where the fraud was done. (For example, if 15,000 dollars
are missing from the register the day after your cashier left on a Las Vegas
vacation, there is no direct evidence that the cashier stole the money.
If, however, 19,120 dollars are missing from the register the next year
when the cashier again leaves for vacation in Las Vegas, one has reason to
investigate the cashier closely.)
Consider these "unusual" ballot problems in Palm Beach, FL - every one
of them adds more Gore votes, and removes Republican and Reform party
votes.
ONLY Palm Beach County Florida voters seem incapable of understanding
and using this style of ballot.
Palm Beach County has an error rate TEN TIMES larger than reported in
ANY other county in the nation using paper punch ballots! No information
is available about the number of ballots invalidated for previous primary,
state, and the 1998 Congressional votes. Unless an equal number (equal
proportion of "invalid ballots" per primary voter) of ballots was
double-punched in the 1996 primaries, the 1998 primaries, and the 1998
Congressional races ..... the Palm Beach election officials are
specifically guilty of deliberate ballot tampering fraud in the year
2000 Presidential elections.)
ONLY in Palm Beach FL were 15,000 ballots "invalidated" (for double
punched ballots) in the 1996 Presidential election. (This is almost
unique among the entire nation! (Certain central city Democratic precincts
in Chicago reported 120,000 double-punched ballots; and Duval County in Florida
reported 22,000 double-punched ballots. Neither used the same
arrangement of candidates as at Palm Beach. This shows that "lining up"
buttons was NOT actually an issue at Palm Beach, but was created as an excuse
to blame for the symptoms of fraud at Palm Beach.)
One early excuse given to the national news media by Democratic
"spokesmen" to explain the Palm Beach fraud was that people were
'exchanging" their double-punched ballots - and were given new ones...
If so, over 26 people per minute "were confused" and voted twice for President!
This many errors were supposedly made, detected, and corrected (by handing out new
ballots) while no person made any "error" in any other race. This excuse
would also mean that more voters were being handed new ballots per minute
than new voters were being signed in. (19,120 "double punched" Democratic
ballots divided by 12 hours, there are fewer than 100 precincts in Palm Beach
County where the precinct level returns are suspect. Significantly, the
massive number of errors occurred only in a few of the precincts, and all of those
precincts were strongly Democratic. In precinct 144F, for example, there
was only one "counted" republican voter for president.)
However, the "double-punched" ballots counted in the election were
NOT exchanged, and were actually read by the voting machine. They are the
symptom and the method of the fraud. There is no reason for this early
Democratic Party statement other than that of beginning a cover-up for
the double-punched ballots.
Not surprisingly, this early fable was not maintained, and has not been
repeated. It also has not been retracted or contradicted by follow-up
stories in the national news media.
ONLY in Palm Beach (and in ONLY the most heavily Democratic precincts)
were 19,120 ballots rejected in 2000 for double punching....(This is a
4.4% error rate overall; in the rest of Florida there is less than 1/2
of ONE percent "double punch" error rate! (Unofficially, this error rate
was 15% in predominately Afro-American precincts, and 10% in precincts
with large numbers of Jewish retirees.) In strongly Republican
precincts, the error rate was the "usual" 1/2 of one percent.) San Diego
County has 800,000 voters, and (overall) has more senior, retired, minority,
and new immigrants than does Palm Beach County. Since all of these were
represented in the 1992, 1996, and 2000 results in the San Diego double
count totals, there can be no excuse for "innocent errors" in Palm Beach.

ONLY in Palm Beach did this "double punch" error happen ONLY in the
Gore-Bush-Buchanan selections for President. (In a truly random "error,"
the mistakes happen in every race, all at about the same rate. In Palm
Beach, the massive errors (over 19,000) ONLY happened in the
Presidential race.)
ONLY in Palm Beach has the news media complained about "massive" ballot
confusion. In the 43 counties in Missouri, also mostly Democratic
voters, which use the same kind of ballot, there are NO complaints about
"confused voters" at all. (St Louis Post Dispatch, Nov 8, 2000)
Therefore, ONLY in Palm Beach FL do the Democrats have to "explain"
a massive number of incorrect votes.
ONLY in Palm Beach did Gore GAIN 750 votes in a recount. In 50 out
of 67counties in FL, the actual change in the recount was 5-7 votes, and in
63 out of 67 counties, the total change was less than 30 votes either way.
Further, in 63 out of 67 counties the "changes" were somewhat evenly
divided between ALL the candidates, in rough proportion to the original
number of votes. This is the statistically expected result, and
represents a true and legal recount of the ballots without any change in
the ballots themselves.
This means that Palm Beach FL had an error rate in favor of Gore more
than 120 TIMES greater than any other county, (Two other heavily
Democratic "inner city" counties (Flagler and Pinellas) had changes
greater than 400 votes. Whether or not fraud existed in those counties
is possible, but not analyzed here.) In a statistically valid recount, half of
the errors would favor Bush, and half favor Gore. This extreme change
from the normal in only three counties shows massive "tampering" towards
Gore in those three counties between the original machine count (already
tainted by fraud.) and the second machine recount.
In EVERY precinct in Palm Beach where Gore got more votes than there are
registered Democrats. Bush received less than 60% of the registered
Republican votes. In NO precinct in Palm Beach County did Bush receive
more than 80% of the number of registered Republicans. .... (Absentee
ballots were equally distributed by percentage between the two parties at 8%
each. Thus, there is specific evidence to show that the "level of
interest" in the Presidential election was equal between the two
parties.) It is ONLY in the "counted" turnout on Nov 7 that the
democrats appear to "remove" 15,000 votes in the Presidential race.
Or, it is ONLY in Palm Beach County that more than 20% of the registered
Republicans "forgot" to vote for their party's presidential candidate.
This 'lack of interest" by the republicans despite equally massive
"get-out-the-vote" efforts by both parties. As shown by the absentee
ballot numbers, there WAS equal interest in the election by both
parties; at least until the votes were "totaled".
ONLY in Palm Beach did Bush receive LESS than 65% of the registered
Republican voters. (Registered Republicans = 231,626 while Bush voters =
152,954.) On average, in every other county in FL Bush received MORE
votes than there were registered Republicans. In the rest of the nation,
poll results show more than 90% of registered Republicans actively
supported the Republican candidate. (Also, unique in the entire state,
the percentage of Republican voters COUNTED as voting in Palm Beach was
much less than normal, despite the pre-election attention to Florida as
a critical state; and massive Republican get -out-the-vote campaigns.)
This is very significant when the Republican Senate race is examined. To
compare similar counties in Florida, look at the 10 counties in Florida
where there are more than 100,000 democratic voters for president. In
every one of these counties - EXCEPT Palm Beach County - Gore received
FEWER votes than Nelson, the democratic Senate candidate. In Palm Beach
county, Gore received slightly more votes than Nelson, which is not by
itself statistically significant. However, his "gain" over equally sized
counties IS directly proportional to the number of "blank ballots" (or
"protest votes") that were cast in Palm Beach County.)
However, in 8 of 10 of these counties, Bush led McCollum (the Republican
Senate candidate by a majority proportional to the county size,) with the
margin being between 25,000 votes and 4000 votes.
McCollum ONLY led Bush in Palm Beach County and Lee County (which is
also the focus of fraud due to its change in votes during the recount.)
The margin of Bush's lead in two counties close to Palm Beach in
population was 15,000 votes and 15,000 - equal to the number of
Republican presidential voters "missing" when the number of registered
Republicans is checked.
The only way this could occur is if 15,000 registered Republican voters
went to the polls, and "forgot" to cast their votes for president, or
were "confused" and voted twice for President but did NOT replace their
ballot at the polling booth; while remembering to correctly and
accurately punch 15,000 votes for the Republican Senate candidate.
The same number of "missing" Republican votes is found when the four
Congressional races involved in Palm Beach County are checked.
ONLY in Palm Beach County do the smaller (Congressional) races outdraw
the Presidential race. Again, the number of total Republican votes
"missing" (not counted in the presidential race) is equal to 15,000 Bush
votes destroyed by double punching in the Presidential race.
The only way this could occur is if 15,000 registered Republican voters
went to the polls, and "forgot" to cast their votes for president, or
were "confused" and voted twice for President but did NOT replace their
ballot at the polling booth; while remembering to correctly and
accurately punch 15,000 votes for the Republican Congressional candidate
in their district.
When the two "coincidences" of correct votes in two other races
are included, it is impossible to accept "confusion" in the presidential
race.
ONLY in Palm Beach did Buchanan get less than HALF the of votes he
received before in 1996. Buchanan's "lost" votes in that county in 2000
were much greater than in any other district in Florida. (Buchanan
received over 8,000 votes in 1996 Republican PRIMARY (where only
registered Republicans can vote; but he received only 3,407 under the
Reform Party from ALL voters in the 2000 Presidential election. (Pat
Buchanan has relatives who lives in Palm Beach County, and this local
support greatly increase the number of local voters who choose Buchanan,
compared to every other region of the country. There are over 14,551
members of the Reform party in Palm BeachCounty - which indicates that
less than 1/5 of the Reform voters voted for their own candidate.
The Fraud is NOT whether Gore voters were "confused" and voted for
Buchanan, but rather WHY Reform Party and Libertarian voters were
prevented from registering THEIR vote!)
Much has been (erroneously) made of the number of apparent Buchanan
votes, with some partial observers (paid by the democratic Party
officials who started the first lawsuits requesting a recount) claiming
that his total vote count "must" be wrong.
It is important to note that Buchanan's running mate is the FIRST
Afro-American to run for national office. Further, she is only the
SECOND woman to run for national office. Given the demographics of the
Palm Beach area, and its high concentration of minorities, it is perhaps
surprising that Buchanan-Foster didn't get more votes than they are
credited with receiving.

There is a simple, single explanation for ALL of these 19,120 problems
in ONE set of ballots in ONE district in ONE state.
15,000 Bush ballots, and 3,400 more Buchanan ballots, were
double-punched to imitate a Gore vote, AFTER legitimate voters left
their polling booth.
Assume 45,000 ballots were stuck with a stiff wire or pointed tool. It
would take somebody a little bit of privacy and about 15 minutes. A ream
of paper is 1 inch thick, 45,000 ballots can be carried by one person in one
handcart or box, damaged, and returned to position very quickly.
More simply, they could be punched several hundred at a time
while the stack is lined before being read at the voting machine - since
all the ballots would already be lined up and stacked neatly in order at
that time.
Originally,
3,000 = Buchanan
15,000 = Bush
25,000 = Gore (Gore has approximately a 2:1 margin over Bush in Palm
Beach Cty.)
1,250 = other parties and random existing errors
750 = "blank" or "protest votes"- No vote for President; other spots may
be filled in.
After ....
3,000 Buchanan + Gore = thrown out.
15,000 Bush + Gore = thrown out.
25,000 Gore (+ Gore) = GOOD VOTES for Gore = counted already
1,250 + others + Gore = thrown out.
750 = "blank" + Gore = Gore additional "free" votes
Stamping 45,000 ballots with a tool (or other device) THROUGH the Gore
slot gives:
Every Gore vote = still a valid Gore vote. (No change in the total, no
change in the recount.)
Every Bush, Buchanan, Workers Party, and Libertarian Party ballot IS
IMMEDIATELY INVALID. They will be thrown out because they have two
votes.
They NEVER were counted in the first place = no change in the recount.
The double-punch occurs ONLY in the presidential race, and no position
on the ballot is disturbed. All other races are correctly counted.
EVERY ballot that had no vote (a "protest vote" against both major
candidates) becomes a Gore vote. All other races on the ballot are not
disturbed, and are correctly counted.

Evidence of fraud by selectively punching "empty" or "protest" ballots
before the recount.
Statewide, 2% of the voters deliberately chose NOT to select a presidential
candidate. 2% of 45,000 ballots is 900, statistically equal to the 950
"votes" changed into 750 Gore votes, and 150 Bush votes during the
recount.
It is statistically impossible (odds of over 149 million to 1) to have
ONE county out of 67 change its recount votes by over 900 votes if it is
counting untainted, unaltered ballots, while the other 64 counties
(using legal methods) change their recounts by less than 30 votes either
way! Significantly, the recount results DO require that approximately 900
ballots be "blank" or "protest votes (originally) before tampering. From
the first set of 45,000 tampered ballots, there would no "blank ballots"
for the Presidential election - all would have an original vote, or be blank
from a protest vote and be filled in by the original double-punching.
Further, no additional double-punching could be done, or an additional
15,000 presidential votes would be canceled during the recount.
However, the recount processed all ballots again, and thus allowed 900
"selected" blank ballots to be "newly counted" - rather than being left
blank as in the original.
The key to prosecuting the criminals involved: maintaining the
double-punched ballots separate in the order they were originally
received, and under evidentiary control for later prosecution.
1. RECOUNTING them by hand, recording the remainder of the votes on the
ballot. Gloves are required to avoid contaminating the fingerprint
evidence (if any) of who handled the ballots. Also, if available,
precinct numbers of which precinct processed should be kept with the
ballot. Note that continuing the "hand-recount" effort (as now demanded
by the Democrats) will destroy any fingerprint evidence available, since
all judges are handling the ballots with no protection.
2. Finding out the order of the double punched ballots (in
groups,one-by-one, or only at the top of box of ballots) will yield
forensic evidence to indicate how the fraud was done, and who did it.
3. Looking for a pattern of tears, hanging remnants of paper, and
misshapen holes - a pattern that will appear ONLY in those ballots that
have duplicated votes - I have used this kind of paper-punch ballot for
many years here in GA. A "valid" hole is created when you punch the
ballot above the hole in the voting booth. IF the ballot has been
"stacked" together and many ballots were punched at one time - the
stacked ballots will have remnants, paper tears, misaligned holes, and
oddly shaped holes......It is these violated 15,000 Bush votes that Gore
wants to declare "Gore" votes....further violating the legal Bush vote
already discarded by the voting machine.
4. The fraudulent double-punched ballots will show double punches ONLY
in the presidential race....and no other errors in other races that are
properly punched. A "valid error" in the first race (the presidential
race) that was detected by the voter and replaced with another ballot -
WILL NOT BE RECORDED. THOSE BALLOTS WOULD HAVE BEEN
REPLACED ALREADY by the election official and the replacement
put in the ballot box.
5. The double-punched ballots will ALWAYS include a Gore
vote....legitimate errors will have randomly distributed errors in every
position.... If the ballots include an overwhelming number of number of
"Bush + Gore" votes, and almost no "Bush + Buchanan" votes, then that
proves that this set of ballots were tampered with and never counted in the
first place ... because the voting machine discards double punched ballots..
IF the ballots include"no"(or very few) Bush + Buchanan, or "Buchanan +
somebody + Gore votes"else....then it shows that they were deliberately
tampered with to exclude (throw out) otherwise valid Bush votes.
There has been speculation that the tampering may have involved Buchanan
duplicates "accidentally" punched in several thousand ballots cases by
double-punching the Buchanan position. This creates a Buchanan
"double-punch" rather than a "Gore" double punch. The same evidentiary
and analysis rules apply. The result, as far as Bush is concerned, are the
same.
The valid Bush vote is voided, not by a Gore + Bush double punch, but by
a Buchanan + Bush double punch. Any Gore votes in the group accidentally
double-punched will be voided as well.
Obviously.... Every tampered ballot WILL include a GORE vote, if the
double punch was done by a Gore operative inserting a false Gore vote.
Of all double-punched ballots, a certain number (0.3% of the original 460,000
ballots, or 7-9% of the 19,120 double-punched ballots) will contain
"true" errors randomly spread among all the contenders. Or if an "error"
was made in the tampering, the pattern would be a massive number of Gore +
Buchanan and Buchanan + Bush double-punched ballots, plus the same 7% of
randomly generated errors spread among all contenders. Further, if an error in
double-punching fraud occurred, it is reasonable to assume that the
error did not occur every time. The ratio of Gore + Buchanan and Gore +
Bush and Buchanan + Bush ballots may vary between precincts, depending
on how long the puncher was "confused" and how many operatives got
"confused" between the Buchanan button and the Gore button.
The combination of deliberate double-punched Gore + valid vote" ballots
and confused "Buchanan + valid vote" ballots will total 19120 ballots.
Approximately 1400 ballots will be random errors, and the remainder,
deliberate (or accidental!) double-punched ballots To verify
this....count the doubled ballots, list each with what OTHER votes were
cast. Almost NO "legitimate" Gore voter would choose other
Republican choices, or at least very, very few would. IF almost all of
the Bush +Gore ballots had mostly Republican choices, or blanks where
there is a Democrat running unopposed, then that shows additional
evidence where a Bush vote was destroyed.
ONLY when a Gore + Buchanan ballot shows almost all Democrats is there
the potential for "confusion": these few ballots will show the few cases
where some Gore supporter actually got confused!
A Buchanan + Gore vote with a reform Party vote for Senator is evidence
of a Buchanan vote that got destroyed. Approximately 2000 of these
ballots are expected. There is a definite possibility that the
double-punch fraud involves the Buchanan presidential vote being
duplicated - either accidentally (by error!) of a Gore operative
double-punching the wrong ballot hole, or by a Buchanan operative adding
votes for his candidate.
The Democratic cover-up by Election Officials began before the ballots
were "officially" counted. Massive and continuing publicity that
declares "voter confusion" before the ballots are "counted" or results
released indicates that the "double-punch" error was known before the
ballots were totaled "officially."
Palm Beach County was one the last counties in Florida to release its
voting results, and the Palm Beach County results were critical in a
last minute "surge" in Gore votes that reduced Bush's lead from 50,000
votes (in Florida overall) to less than 1500. Late delivery of votes,
with the specific precinct vote count delayed until the required number of
votes is known, is classic symptom of local election fraud. It DOES NOT
prove fraud, but late delivery of vote results is the most common way of
tampering with the vote, and is essential if ballot tampering is involved in
the vote fraud. Late delivery of fraudulent votes has happened in several
previous democratic elections at the national level, showing that the
individuals involved had close knowledge of previous fraud and its successes.
Local Democrat officials are claiming that these are "double-punched!
They know...and were told early this morning! to collect 3000 old folks
who could claim they were confused...They quickly needed a cover story to
explain that the ballots were "confusing" to create the 3000 Gore - Buchanan
"voters" that they need.
But in the remaining two days after the elections, no local democratic
officials can physically identify the required number (19,120)
"confused"witnesses who can attest to actually double-punching ballots.
ANY citizen who realized that they double-punched a ballot at the polling
booth was able to exchange ballots and resubmit his choices. IT IS
CRITICAL TO UNDERSTAND THAT THESE "REPLACED" BALLOTS
WERE SET ASIDE IMMEDIATELY, AND WERE NEVER COUNTED IN
THE MACHINES.
The 19,120 double-punched ballots include ONLY those actually an error
(approximately 1300) and those double-punched by fraud.
Note, after the first two days, the local party officials have softened
their rhetoric and are only claiming "hundreds" of "confused voters."
Again, no actual lists of these citizens have been released for
confirmation or interviews by investigators.
Further evidence of deliberate double-punching of ballots, and perhaps
of making an error in the fraud itself by double-punching a Buchanan
hole rather than a Gore hole is the immediate cover-up effort by
democratic officials.
The national Democratic Party hired a Texas telemarketing firm to call
several thousand voters in Palm beach County late Tuesday night
specifically to "prompt" Palm Beach citizens to declare "they were
confused" by the ballots, and specifically to declare being "confused"
between the Gore and Buchanan ballot positions. Further, the national
democratic telemarketing campaign was instructing users in what to claim
ballot positions to be "confused" with, and was specifically prompting
the people that they called to declare a "Buchanan-Gore" confusion on
Tuesday night, before midnight.
This was approximately 5 hours BEFORE the Palm Beach results were
released.
Also, national democratic teams were in flight to Palm Beach immediately
after midnight, again before the results were officially known to
anyone.
This indicates that democratic leaders at the precinct level (and thus
the national level) knew about the "confusion" (accidentally/incorrectly
double-punched Buchanan ballots) BEFORE the Palm Beach votes were
counted, and several hours before they were released to the Florida
election officials.
Note too that this telemarketing campaign began before the Palm Beach
results were announced. Before anyone (other than election officials)
knew how any double-punched ballots existed, nor which ballot choices
(for president) were double-punched.
No democratic source has ever offered proof of this "vast number"
of confused voters, and no Democratic operative has offered any
explanation why"confusion" needs to be advertised and prompted for in a
telemarketing phone blitz at any time other than this elections. This
indicates that the actual number of voters actually "confused" is minor,
and further indicates that the Gore-Buchanan "confusion" may not exist.
The individuals who are suing now to revote that ballots are experienced
democratic officials, donors, and activists - and even a formerly
elected official.
Democratic officials in Palm Beach County have not been able to explain
why 15,000 ballots were double-punched in 1996 AND in 2000. The
"butterfly ballots" were NOT used in the previous Presidential election.
Thus, there is a pattern not of massive error by the voters, but of
continued fraud by the Democratic election committee members and
local officials. Further indication of deliberate fraud is that there is no
evidence of previous massive "voter error" in Democratic primaries,
Democratic runoff's, or Congressional races the past years. Specifically,
Massive "voter confusion" does not appear in the democratic primaries
(where Democratic votes must be accurate!) and where there was little
effective opposition to the Democratic Congressman (Wexler).
Symptoms of voter fraud by double punching will stand out by the number
of the doubled punches, and by the remaining choices on the ballet.
A Republican voter will have in almost every case have punched Bush +
several other Republican candidates.
So look for how many "Bush + Gore" ballots have mostly Republican
choices below. THESE ARE FRAUDS. They represent Bush votes that were
stolen.
There are about 15,000 of these ballots.
A "true" Buchanan voter would have punched Buchanan and a mix of other
candidates....A Libertarian voter would most likely be choosing a
variety of flowing positions, depending on his personal opinion of
freedom and regulation. There will be about 2000-3000 of these ballots.
A "mistaken" "Gore + Buchanan" voter would ALMOST CERTAINLY
have chosen the Democrats in the rest of the ballot.....or, IF AS THEY CLAIM,
those "Gore +Buchanan" voters that were "told to push the second hole" really
meant "only followed directions" ---- THEN the rest of the ballot would
be solid Democrat, or blank.
There will be approximately 0.3% of the total ballots used (1380 out of
460,000) that are legitimate errors or protest votes with  several
candidates selected.

NOT "confused" 15,000 Bush voters in 2000....and 15,000 other "confused"
Dole and Perot voters in 1996.

------------------------------------

An independent observation.

The media appears to be puzzled by the inordinate number of hanging , pregnant, or torn chads, dimples, zits, and even (as frequently shown on television) three sharp impressions around one firmly connected chad.

Well, duh!

A voting machine, despite the phoney arguments being presented before the Florida courts, makes a pretty clean punch and there would be very few partially attached chads on legitimately punched ballots.

However, this scheme for ballot tampering does not cleanly detach a chad. In most cases, it would  simply be pushed aside and many would remain partially attached. There would be thousands of partially attached  chads. Once the ballots were separated and manually handled, loosely attached chads would easily tear loose and drop to the table top or floor. Note that thousands of chads were swept up in the Palm Beach County ballot counting room. Now it is clear where they came from.

Of particular significance is the ballot, seen so often on television, showing three sharp impressions around a firmly attached chad. I'll bet THAT ballot can no longer be found ..... because it clearly shows the imprint of the point of the spindle used in punching out the ballots ......... there are photographs of this ballot in the archives of all of the television networks.  This ballot is a striking indictment of the Palm Beach County Canvassing Board.

The FBI forensics lab can determine a lot about the instrument used, if that ballot can be located.

By the way,

Where is  the FBI?
Janet Reno, hasn't any of this struck you as odd?
