2. hnmf look at the internals of Georgia polling

I can't get the internals for Zobgy but here are internals for the InsiderAdvantage poll that is the most recent one whose internals can be accessed.

Whites: Hillary 51, Obama 33
Blacks: Obama 73, Hillary 21
Latinos: Obama 54, Hillary 34

There goes the myth southern whites won't vote for Obama and the myth Latinos won't vote for Obama. Obama won the Latino vote in South Carolina and will do so again in Georgia. It isn't, as some Obamites have claimed, Latino culture that is leading to resistance of Obama but rather differences in policies. Apparently Latinos in more conservative states prefer Obama while the ones in more progressive states prefer Obama. This is consistent with Obama performing best in the most conservative states.

3. Totally meaningless, EVERY ELECTION here in Georgia has been RIGGED since 2002!!!

And considering the way the Diebold Optical scan and 1970's punch card machines were distributed before that (Democratic dominated areas got the Punch Card systems, Republican Dominated areas got the Diebold Corp Opti-Scan machines), the "elections" before 2002 were probably rigged too.

Speaking as a Georgian who has lost all faith in our Diebold Paperless "election system," the person who wins Georgia will be who ever the Republic Party wants to win Georgia.

MY Request to EVERYONE who reads this, if you support Hillery OR Obama, DEMAND A RECOUNT IN GEORGIA! The more times the Press covers the FACT that a Recount is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE in Georgia, the sooner you will help me and the rest of the Disenfranchised Democrats in Georgia to get our Vote count back!

Not sure what I'm bitching about? Listen to this from Friday's NPR "Science Friday!" It's only 12:29 minutes long, but it's sums up the problem VERY WELL:

Listen Now (12 min 30 sec)

Talk of the Nation, February 1, 2008 · Maryland recently announced that it will be moving away from entirely electronic systems to ones in which paper ballots are read by electronic scanners. Florida and California have also turned away from all-electronic "touch screen" designs. Computer security expert Avi Rubin discusses how states are using electronic voting systems.
