did we lose black voters this year?
they kept saying we would, did we? (Sorry, I can't watch or read the news. I'm counting on you to let me know what I need/want to know.)

also, did we lose women?

1. no, black voters came out in great numbers, more than ever
Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 12:46 AM by JI7
they pushed Kerry to victory in many key states. we didn't lose anyone.

it's just that the religious right came out in greater numbers than ever because of the anti gay propositions in states. much of bush's popular vote increase is from solid red states where they came out to vote on the gay marriage amendments.

2. According to the stats
they all must have voted for Bush.

Look at Duval County FL. The numbers don't make sense.

3. of course not
They were negated by the millions of phantom "fundie" voters who materialized out of thin air, evenly dispersed throughout swing counties in swing states and made non-auditable precincts consistently contradict the results from auditable precincts.

5. I think 91 for Gore 90 for Kerry
no difference. Gay voters, now for some reason a lot of them voted for Bush.
