29. Couple things
1. Your assuming a conspiracy where it is possible there is none. It could be the result of a programming or other clerical type error without any malicous fraud behind it.

2. If there was malicous fraud it could have been perpetrated by invdividuals not directly assosciated with the GOP or the Bush campaign. That being the case they could just be stupid and not thinking ahead.

Those are questions that hopefully Bev's fraud audits will get to the bottom of eventually.

There are several other explanations if there was widespread fraud in the optical machines but they get more complicated and convoluted and while possible are not as likely as the explanations above.

Of course all that assumes that we even find the error that we think exists. Right now all we have are a lot of documented small tabulation errors over a bunch of states and counties, A bunch of very suspicious numbers and evidence of voter supression. Thats why the recounts are needed.

If we do discover error like we think exists then there are still questions that we don't know the answer to.

1. Is the scope of the error large enough to change the outcome of the election?
2. Is the error part of some right wing conspiracy or just poor programming/clerical errors?
