Lots of talk about voter fraud. Some specific examples of a reporter bitching about it and how Bush won due to voter fraud fall into the realm of moronic when one looks closer. Cayuhoga County (spelling?) in Ohio, for instance. Several talking heads keep mentioning that there were more votesin that county than there are residents of voting age. What they don't mention, when tlaking about how Bush's people cheated,is that those extra votes went overwhelmingly for Kerry. Then they whine about a few counties in Florida which have far more registered Democrats than Republicans, yet went for Bush. Funny thing is, these same counties have gone for the Republican candidate in every election since 1976. There are couple of reasons that could explain this. One, these are conservative Democrats, like a bunch of Zell Millers, and two, I would expect most people that voted for Bush are far more independent than your typical leftist, and thus less likely to register as a member of a particular party. Unless I get in to politics as a career, I will never become a card-carrying member of any party, because I believe in voting on issues not party affiliation. And I voted for Bush.
