Ever heard of conservative Southern Democrats?
[1]Yevgeny Vilensky (Yale Free Press) takes Keith Olbermann (MSNBC) to
task for these voter fraud insinuations of Olbermann's:
[T]he majority of the media has yet to touch[, among other things,
the story of] . . . huge margins for Bush in Florida counties in
which registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans 2-1,
places where the optical scanning of precinct totals seems to have
turned results from perfect matches for the pro-Kerry exit poll
data, to Bush sweeps.
Vilensky points out:
I decided to go to the Florida Secretary of State's office webpage
and look at the results for Lafayette, Baker, and Liberty, the
three counties whose names I could catch [on Olbermann's MSNBC
broadcast], and see how they voted in 2000 and in 1996. Well, quite
a fascinating result: Election of 2000
Baker voted 5610-2392 for Bush against Gore.
Lafayette voted 1670-789 for Bush against Gore.
Liberty voted 1317-1017 for Bush against Gore.
Election of 1996
Baker voted 3684-2273 for Dole against Clinton
Lafayette voted 1126-899 for Dole against Clinton
Liberty voted 913-868 for Dole against Clinton
