It is impossible to know whether the machines were rigged to alter the election in Georgia: Diebold's machines provided no paper trail, making a recount impossible. But the tally in Georgia that November surprised even the most seasoned political observers. Six days before the vote, polls showed Sen. Max Cleland, a decorated war veteran and Democratic incumbent, leading his Republican opponent Saxby Chambliss - darling of the Christian Coalition - by five percentage points. In the governor's race, Democrat Roy Barnes was running a decisive eleven points ahead of Republican Sonny Perdue. But on Election Day, Chambliss won with fifty-three percent of the vote, and Perdue won with fifty-one percent.

On 17 April 2001, James Lee testified, before the McKinney panel, that the state had given DBT the directive to add to the purge list people who matched at least 90% of a last name. DBT objected, knowing that this would produce a huge number of false positives (non-felons).

Lee went on saying that the state then ordered DBT to shift to an even lower threshold of 80% match, allowing also names to be reversed (thus a person named Thomas Clarence could be taken to be the same as Clarence Thomas). Besides this, middle initials were skipped, Jr. and Sr. suffixes dropped, and some nicknames and aliases were added to puff up the list.

"DBT told state officials", testified Lee, "that the rules for creating the [purge] list would mean a significant number of people who were not deceased, not registered in more than one county, or not a felon, would be included on the list. DBT made suggestions to reduce the numbers of eligible voters included on the list". According to Lee, to this suggestion the state told the company, "Forget about it".

The other posters in this thread, in their earnestness, tolerance and CIVILITY actually attempted to interact with him - civilly and coherently, with facts and information. And for their pains they got mocked - by you. Now maybe you see why you are working your way into a pet name.

And it was part of an actual response to you (which you conveniently left out, pretending I didn't actually say anything other than my little quip) where I said:

My point was that it didn't deserve to be front-page HEADLINED when there was so much more real news to report. Now where did I say that? Oh yes, it was here: 'The ONLY story headlined in every one was "Some Liquid Restrictions Lifted"'."

Is the post in THIS thread? No, its not. Is the TOPIC anywhere in this entire thread?. No it's not. Is it there for all to read? No, it's not. If you want to debate the topic, I will happily go to the thread where it exists. Otherwise, the only debate I have here is how you call for civilty in one thread when someone 'quips' or 'opines', but set a different, and much lower, standard for yourself here.

And about that, there is no debate.

And yet, like clockwork, you are often one of the first responders to any of Auraptor's posts. From this I must conclude that you enjoy talking to empty cans, no matter how often you bemoan the fact.

In point of fact, I posted, and AU posted right after. From there I counted about 16 posts- many of the AU's, before I posted back. Somebody ... not sayin' who, mind you... doesn't know how to count!

it's poisoning the well by flatly stating voter intimidation WILL be out there, so be ready for a fight. How about ' Go to your poll, vote, go home. '. But no, the Dems can't allow for that. There MUST be civil unrest. WHY? It fits the Dems's template that America IS racists, and we're no better off now than we were in the 1920's. THAT is pattently BULLSHIT!

SANTA ANA, Calif. - State investigators have linked a Republican campaign to letters sent to thousands of Orange County Hispanics warning them they could go to jail or be deported if they vote next month, a spokesman for the attorney general said.

Right you are, and I don't hold out much hope for them becoming one in the foreseeable future.

And 7 years later FOX is sued and loses 800 million dollars for lying. And wait for it. They are about to lose another billion for the same thing.

Is that even a question?
Since both party establishments do it, the only question is "Which party will be the more successful hacker/manipulator"?
