Guys, I am a Buddhist, and my practise of it dictates how I should deal with anger, but when I saw these numbers and how blatant it was we were just fucked in the ass by these electronic voting systems and Diebold, I felt a white hot rage build inside me I had never experienced before. Read on, and you may feel the same.

Here are some basic Florida election calcs, provided with sources at the bottom:

http://ustogether.org/Florida_Election.htm

In order to believe that these numbers are legit you have to believe that in Calhoun county for example, which has 11.9% registered Republicans and 82.4% registered Democrats, voted in favor of Bush 3,780 to Kerry's 2,116.

To put that number more clearly for you, those numbers assume that even if every single one of the 994 registered Republicans (based on the 11.9 percent number) turned out AND voted for Bush (100 percent party loyalty and 100 percent turnout rate), 2,786 democrats crossed party lines and voted for Bush, and considering John Kerry only got 2,116 votes, that means he only got 43.2 percent of the Democratic vote. FOURTY THREE PERCENT. And that means the other 57 percent voted for Bush (minus 0.5 for Nader/Others).

Do any of you buy that for one single second? Now, I know Independents are left out of this graph, but lets give George Bush the benefit of the doubt and assume that he carried the Independent chunk of the vote (20 percent or so at most) by 100 percent, EVERY SINGLE VOTE. In the county we just talked about that STILL would not get him NEARLY the vote he got, and that would mean Democrats turned out at about 35 percent to vote for Kerry. NOT. POSSIBLE. AND THESE NUMBERS ARE REPEATED ACROSS THE BOARD!

WE MUST GET THIS INFORMATION OUT, WHATEVER IT TAKES.

KEEP THIS KICKED, MIRROR THAT PAGE AND THE FLORIDA ELECTION RESULT PAGES BECAUSE AFTER TONITE, YOU CAN BET THEY WILL BE ALTERED AGAIN.

I'M NEVER SHUTTING UP UNTIL WE GET JUSTICE OR I AM PROVEN WRONG, BUT I WON'T BE.

Lets get on this people, I'll be up all night, I want to see opinions, analysis, and if you come to the same conclusion as I did, its time for us to get seriously, seriously angry, and fast. We better move like we've never moved before, because our country may be weeks away from it being too late for us to ever stop what is coming.
