First of all, the author/and/or poster don't appear to know the difference between an optical scanning voting machine and an electronic voting machine. The optical scanning voting machine reads a paper ballot so, DUHHHH, there is a paper trail. There is also credible discussion that optical scanning machines are the most reliable, both in technology and because of the back-up ballots.
Secondly, as has been required to post on this site far too often, yes Virginaia, people in rural Southern counties register as Democrats and vote Republican at the top of the ticket, as these counties have been doing for years. I was stunned, as a loyal young Republican, to find that my own parents had been registered Democrats for years. Why do we keep having to listen to this nonsense. This argument is basically that W won counties that Bush and Bush have won previously, but by a bigger margin than in 2000, so theirs somethingwrong. By this logic, New Hamshire was stolen because Bush did worse than 4 years ago. That's the whole point, guys, Bush did better in Florida than he did in 2000, and worse in New Hampshire. It's called campaiging, It's why we have elections every four years instead of just re-ratifying previous results. Get used to it.
Next, Osceola county reports 82,195 voters on their wepage and 82,178 on the SofS webpage. I don't see the 63,000 number anywhere, except (approximately) as the number of votes on down-ballot races. Remember, even the skeptical media now admit that people (even some Freepers) spun themselves into a corkscrew over 90,000+ "overvotes" in Cuyahoga County, Ohio that didn't really exist because nobody took the time to READ and UNDERSTAND how the data were displayed on the webpage.
Finally, I know in the case of the South Florida counties, and I suspect in the case of the Dixicrat counties, the elections offcials are mostly Democrats.
I hate leftists conspiracy theorists as much as you do.
