I don't deny that in the 1960s and 1970s, inner city vote corruption existed. In cities like Chicago, where I live, it came from the Teamsters and the Knights of Columbus, which was a front for the Irish mob. It helped Kennedy in 1960 immensely.

But that was then.

Now:

"I am committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year." - Walden O'Dell, CEO of Diebold in 2004.

I will debate you on any point of merit that you wish that vote fraud happened, and will happen this election.

Kerry got ownt in '04, plain and simple. And the 'deal' with the 2000 election was that the people voting democrat voted for the wrong person. There isn't republican voter fraud. We dont go into the ghettos and pick up black people and make them vote 5 or 6 times.

The '04 election was as close as 2000. I wouldn't exactly call that 'own't'. It was decided in Ohio, and even with the allegations' of voter fraud, Kerry graciously conceded.

Kerry was a complete idiot, everyone I knew was saying that Kerry was going to lose. That was the most I remember of the '04 election. I remember that our school had a little 'election' and of like 1000 kids, 850 voted Bush and only about 30 or 40 voted John Kerry. Everyone else voted that other guy who ran then.

I don't know which particular 'problem' you're talking about, but I would like to notify you about the $10 Billion PER MONTH cost of the war in Iraq.

a) No, because I don't have access to that sort of information.

b) No, because even if I did, it would probably be classified anyway.

c) No, because if it were available, you could do it yourself.

d) As Frode said, the final cost will be the same.

What exactly does that have to do with the Democrats wanting to throw money at this current financial issue?

Did anything ever come of those allegations? Or did they remain just that, allegations? For some reason I don't recall ever hearing anything more about it.

Based on some of the posts I see on this board.
85% of the posters here are party hacks and knew who they were voting for before the candidates themselves knew they were running

I haven't heard anything more than what happened. Here's a clip about it from Wiki:

[edit] Legal challenges
Election watchers and political analysts forecast a number of contested election results in a manner similar to the Florida voting recount of 2000. Various states grappled with their own legal issues that could have affected the outcome of the vote, while both of the major political parties and a number of independent groups like the ACLU marshaled numbers of lawyers.

In several states including Ohio, Colorado, Florida, and Nevada, there were lawsuits or other disputes about such issues as “voter challenging”, voter registration, and absentee ballots. These were considered unlikely to change the Electoral College result. In Florida, for example, multiple lawsuits were filed even before the election, but few observers expected any of them to change the official result that Bush had outpolled Kerry by roughly 400,000 votes. As of the morning of November 3 the deciding state in the electoral vote count was Ohio, where Bush held a 136,000 vote lead. Democrats' hopes rested on the approximately 135,000 provisional ballots that had yet to be counted. Nevertheless, after concluding that a recount would not change the election results, Kerry conceded defeat at about 11:00 EST that morning, and George W. Bush declared victory the afternoon of the same day.

The Green Party and Libertarian Party presidential candidates, David Cobb and Michael Badnarik, filed for a recount of the Ohio vote. After announcing their intention and soliciting donations, they quickly raised $150,000 to cover the state's required fee and other costs. A statewide recount of the presidential vote was completed under the watch of thousands of elections observers organized by the Cobb campaign. Based on reports filed by these observers, some voting rights advocates claim that the recount was conducted improperly, and illegally, and have filed a new lawsuit, which is currently pending. The Congressional Democrats who objected to the counting of Ohio's electoral votes relied on part on information about voting irregularities provided by observers working for the Cobb campaign.

Well....there you go again ;)

you know what they say about satistics   :aok

I doubt more than 25% of us on this board have declared party affiliations, even though we hold them in our thoughts.  It is true that most of us have already cast our votes in our hearts.
That fact results in a defacto summation of a total value of zero with regards to our bantering and arguing here on the bsb.  In that facet, you are correct.

PS: what does QFT stand for?
