Otherwise known as the "single poker theory"...No I believe the Dems had many Pokers in the fire... You may be correct though in that many of them had weak or limp pokers. Other pokers may have felt strong enough for deeper penetration but didn't quite make it. Group poker penetration often leads to problems among seniors and young bucks alike. The transmission of VD or Voters Disability is a common affliction resulting to this act. Palm beach doctors are getting many complaints of Voters elbow from those reviewing the ballots. CONSPIRACY THEORY: Could the dimpled chads be the result of the wholesale punching of multiple ballots at the same time? For example, were the dimpled ballots at the bottom of a stack of 10 or so ballots all punched at the same time by hand (in a mass effort of vote fraud... I know, in Florida of all places)? TG

Interesting. No matter which side you are on, or how you slice it, there will be 800+ votes for Gore in those piles. Bet on it. Scum, plain and simple. So 10,500 people didn't vote. How do we know they were not for Bush? Its fixed and if they have their way it will be slowly played up in the media all week and by Friday we will have only a handful separating the race. Its bs and it looks like no one is going to really stop it until its too late. I'm pissed. TH

CONSPIRACY THEORY: The most common fraud from the days when punch cards were used here was to send someone in early in the morning to vote. They would jam a toothpick into the chad-hole for the opposition candidate and break it off flush with the votamitic surface (and most likely invalidate their ballot). At the end of the day they would send someone with an ice pick to complete jamming the toothpic through the hole and clear it out. All votes in the mean time were merely dimpled. TP
