<Tig: At about 4-5 pm on the afternoon of the election...it is alleged that a call was placed to some telemarketing group in Texas by the DNC advising them to immediately notify field workers of problems in the voting in PBC...thus, instant and widespread (as only telemarketers can do) problem...I know this is all old stuff, but seems to go against your claim that all was hunky-dory on election day...it wasn't> md1 - Please don't use fact when questioning Tigger. With his selective ignorance, he can only defend using nebulous arguments. So, again, no facts, please.

to immediately notify field workers of problems in the voting in PBC... That was pretty normal. all was hunky-dory on election day... I think I said that things were usual, and typical. This was a big election, on every big election the major parties, republican and democrat have poll watchers looking for signs of trouble. There was obviously trouble in Palm Beach and that is a major democratic county. The poll workers determined that voters were complaining about the ballot being confusing, so the democrats sprang into action and got a directive to those precincts asking the voters to be careful. They will also call voters and tell them to be carefull. This is the usual and typical things that party workers do on election day (when they're not driving people to polls or calling them up and asking them if they voted yet). I don't know about telemarketers, but I do know that there are phone banks in operation and I suppose the lines and phones have to be leased from someone. Occasionally there is a phone "ring", which is are people who agree to call 10 people from a list and tell them to go to the polls. Someone's really jerking your chain to spin this into a conspiracy.
