Rigged Voting Machines
Dear David,You wanted to hear something good. It is this: the majority of the American people did not produce this stupid election result, the election was fixed. The corporate masters set up this little trick by producing new election machinery with "proprietary" (secret) software that leaves no audit trail and can be easily manipulated. Then they somehow managed to eliminate exit polling, which could have been compared to the vote totals. Yet another convenient coincidence to go along with Wellstone's and Carnahan's and about seven other democrats deaths. Oh, and that very convenient "trifecta" incident in New York.
Seig Heil, my friend. Welcome to the fourth Reich and the wonderful world of fascism. We can all look forward to a steady diet of pabulum from the media, perpetual war, a steady decline in income, terrorist reprisals (which conveniently keep the whole system going), high taxes to pay for it all, incredible riches for a few, and no way at all to regain our democracy. Our apathetic and stupid neighbors have seen to that. Or should I say several million of Kitty Genovese's neighbors, I don't want to claim them.

I think the person who noted the coincidence about there being no exit polling to compare with the electronic poll results is very astute, because the first thing I thought when I started reading about how easy it would be to rig the machines. I thought well, all we'll have to do is look at the exit poll numbers, and then we'll at least have an idea whether or not the machines were rigged. And now this -- no exit polling at all? Not a comforting coincidence.
