The thin line between truth and tinfoil
If you're bothering to read this blog, you're probably reading others. And if you're reading this blog, the other blogs you're reading are probably liberal leaning like this one. And if you're reading this sort of blog, you're probably in on the current buzz that's floating around, which currently goes nameless because there's no hard evidence and the "real" media isn't talking about. This nameless buzz is that last week's election was stolen. We dare not holler fraud.
Based on some of the analysis out there of the election data, and considering how the 2000 election most likely leans to, at best, a horrible system failure in the state of the brother of the man who benefitted from this system failure (okay, I'll say it--in 2000, Jeb Bush stole the election for his brother George W. Bush), it's highly conceivable. Yet there is no proof. And none may ever surface. Things were designed for this happen--no paper trails. Therefore, there is no controversy because the computers are right and we know because, well, the only information we have is the numbers on the computers, so there you go.
They're still counting votes in Ohio. What will happen? Probably nothing. Bush will still win. There won't be any hard evidence, but, like any good conspiracy theory, there will be lots of tidbits, lots of things that don't add up, lots of suspicion. Maybe a groundswell of buzz will keep things going, maybe make a major player come forth and demand an investigation or be a whistleblower. Don't count on it. But just know--in this post 2004 election world, we're stuck, in many ways, somewhere between truth and tinfoil.
