Don and all (except you Nadine (g)),

Please give me your feedback and help.

Like many, I watched the results come in at 2-3:00 am. I watched Bush ahead by 59,000 votes with 98% reporting in FL (I was at the FL Secretary of State site). With 99.5% reporting, Bush's lead dropped to 1600. This meant that the last 100,000 votes to come in had to go about 80% Gore 20% Bush. Hmmm...

I served as Campaign Manager for a Senate Candidate here in MN. I'm aware that 80/20 is possible, but it's as extreme as it gets, and is rare. Therefore, my curiosity was stimulated and I went to the Palm Beach and Dade election boards to see how the precincts broke down.

Guess what I found!!
Several precincts came in 98% Gore 2% Bush. These weren’t statistically insignificant precincts by the way.
For example: Precinct 66 in Palm Beach came in 25 for Bush 1,203 for Gore.
This doesn’t happen. Even in the most liberal areas you might see 80/20.

I ran this by a fellow businessman who noticed that in those precincts, Nadar got an order of magnitude less than he should in the others. IE Nadar took 1.6% in FL but took only 0.16% in Precinct 66.

Boward had several with the same anomalies.

Is it obvious to you that something is up?
