I believe that Bush won by a large enough margin (in the states where fraud is being alleged) that it would take a tremendous amount of fraud to change the bottomline (Bush victory). This isn't 2000 where somewhere in the neighborhood of a mere 1,200 votes changed the course of history. Wasn't Florida won by 700,000 +. I don't remember the count in Ohio.
I am also willing to allow for the possibility of a skewed outcome if it will facilitate inquiry into the system. If this becomes an attempt to overthrow the election there is less chance of co-operation in a true fact finding mission. Instead you'd have Dems and Reps fighting, hiding evidence, making outlandish claims etc.. I don't think that will facilitate bettering what very well may be a flawed system. I also believe that even if you could find sufficient evidence to change the outcome of the election it wouldn't happen. The process would take too long. There would be too much in the way of jockeying for position and legal battles to make change anything. It would just further divide an already divided nation. I'd have loved to have see Bush lose. I was more anti Bush than pro-kerry. But Bush didn't lose and I don't believe there was enough fruad to change that. -----Original Message----- From: Tangorre, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 12, 2004 11:04 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Election Audit Petition > From: Ken Ketsdever [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You say this.... > I dislike Bush no doubt about.

How do you know ti was valid if you yourself admit the process is flawed? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:135749 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
