Evidence of Massive Ballot
Tampering in
Palm Beach County

There is "explicit statistical evidence of massive ballot tampering in Palm
Beach, Fla.," says expert statistician Robert Cook, who notes that ballot
errors only occurred in presidential races.
And, he adds, the same kind of ballot tampering occurred in Palm Beach County
in 1996.
In an analysis sent to Michael
Reagan, Cook, a nuclear engineer with 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, put forth a compelling case that the 19,120 presidential
race ballots at issue in Palm Beach County were "destroyed by deliberate
double-punching ballots with a 'second punch' for Al Gore or Pat Buchanan."
Cook used what Reagan called "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." Cook charges that his statistical analysis
shows:
-
19,120 presidential race ballots were destroyed by deliberate double-punching
ballots 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.)
-
The national error rate of double-punching ballots is less than 1/2 of 1
percent, or at most, 1,800 ballots in all of Palm Beach County, with the
errors between all races and all candidates.
-
Palm Beach County has an error rate 10 TIMES larger than reported in ANY
other county in the nation using paper punch ballots!
-
ONLY in Palm Beach were 15,000 ballots "invalidated" (for double-punched
ballots) in the 1996 presidential election.
-
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, at about the same rate. In Palm Beach,
the massive errors (over 19,000) ONLY happened in the presidential race.)
-
ONLY in Palm Beach did Gore GAIN 750 votes in a recount. In 50 out of 67
counties in Florida, the actual change in the recount was 5 to 7 votes, and
in 63 out of 67 counties, the total change was fewer 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.
-
There are about 15,000 "Bush + Gore" ballots that have mostly Republican
choices below. THESE ARE FRAUDS. They represent Bush votes that were stolen.
-
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 who were "told to push the second hole" really meant "only
followed directions," THEN the rest of the ballot would be solid Democrat,
or blank.
Note: The following is a reproduction of the statician's
findings:

By: Robert A. Cook, PE
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 two Presidential races against Republican opposition — is
33,000 "too many" to be an accident.

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 Los 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 Los 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 removed 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 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 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 67
counties 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 ballets" (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 major 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 by 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 Beach County, 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 Gore,
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 are, 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 many 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 exist) The individuals who are suing now to
revote that ballots are experienced democratic officials, donors, and activists
— on 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 appear in the democratic
primaries (where Democratic votes must be accurate!) and where there was
little effective opposition to the Democratic Congressman (Waxler)
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 a several candidates selected.
NOT "confused" 15,000 Bush voters in 1996....and 15,000 other "confused"
Dole and Perot voters in 2000.
