In Florida:
«In Baker County, for example, with 12,887 registered voters, 69.3% of them Democrats and 24.3% of them Republicans, the vote was only 2,180 for Kerry and 7,738 for Bush, the opposite of what is seen everywhere else in the country where registered Democrats largely voted for Kerry.
In Dixie County, with 9,676 registered voters, 77.5% of them Democrats and a mere 15% registered as Republicans, only 1,959 people voted for Kerry, but 4,433 voted for Bush.
The pattern repeats over and over again - but only in the counties where optical scanners were used. Franklin County, 77.3% registered Democrats, went 58.5% for Bush. Holmes County, 72.7% registered Democrats, went 77.25% for Bush.»
I am too depressed to write my own thoughts. So I am going to cheat a little bit and quote Simon Jessey:
«Four years from now, America will look very different. Huge spending on the armed forces and their weaponry, together with tax cuts and fiscal mismanagement will deepen an already massive budget deficit. The nation's standing in the eyes of the rest of the world will not have improved. Indeed, with Bush's brand of accusation and invasion, it can only get worse. The revised Patriot Act will enable greater infringements on our civil liberty.
The really scary part of the next four years, however, will be the integration of religion into state affairs. Before you know it, we'll be seeing Creationism being taught in schools. We'll be seeing abortion made illegal. We'll be seeing the gay and lesbian community totally disenfranchised.
I hope I am wrong. Please let me be wrong.»
