He and I ment, that the Republicans didn't complain because they won.... you claimed that if the Democrats win this time, they won't complain about rigging..... but will the Republicans complain about losing?

Added:

Oh, I see we have two ninjas in the thread....

I do not think they will claim that the Democrats stole the election. Just as in the last Congressional elections when the Democrats swept both houses... all the voting equipment seemed to work just fine and the ballot counts were right on the money. True?

ES- You made some derisive remark about how if Obama wins no-one will complain, as if to suggest that if the Repugs win they'll gracefully accept defeat and/or even if the Dems win they MUST make an uproar about the results not being accurate or appear disingenuous

Yeah...that about sums up what I am saying. If Obama wins there will not be an uproar about voting irregularities and how they stole the election. It will all be on the up and up. A fair election and the American people will have spoken.

However, if McCaine wins the same old accusations will be thrown at the GOP about how they stole the election.

You know I am right too.

Mmmmmmm..... I dunno, I still remember hearing in a few states during that time of numerous machines not "working properly" and had to resort to paper ballots.

Whether hacking/tampering of the machines is out of the question in some situations, them breaking down or not operating properly in many situations is still cause for concern and until there is a sure fire solution for these machines to work without fault, then they shouldn't be used.

In other words, I don't think things such as these should be tested on such a mass scale, on something so important in the country, in any country..... regardless of whatever party wins in the end.... if there are questions about the counts or their reliability, then they should be hauled off and go back to paper ballots.

Just to be clear... although I have personal favor for Obama over McCain, that doesn't mean I am blind to the possibility that the Democrats could be screwing around as well..... I honestly don't trust either party, just as I don't trust the Conservatives and Liberals here in Canada........ but you guys only have two parties to pick from.... so..... I pick the person who is least likely to screw you guys, and the rest of the world over.

I am just going by past experiences. When the Dems lose they tend to say it was fraud, when they win all was on the up and up.

Perhaps there were problems here and there, but the GOP didn't jump up and down accusing the Democrats for stealing the elections at the polls. They got their butts kicked because they deserved it and they knew it.

Unfortunately the liberals like to throw perpetual temper tantrums when they lose.

Either way... I will be proven right.

So...

DON'T TAZE ME BRO!

You can't really contest a sweep though can you? If it's a few thousand votes it's a different story.

We should go back to the pile of rocks method: Bring in loads of river rocks. Everyone that wants to vote grabs a rock and tosses it on the pile for the candidate they want. The person with the most rocks (biggest pile) wins.

Voting irregularities happen all the time, but not to the point of swinging the balance of a sweep, in an election.

2004 Election Results

Bush 51%
Kerry 49%

Bush- 62 Million (and change)
Kerry- 59 Million (and change)

Electoral College

Bush- 286
Kerry- 252

Looks like a pretty clear beating to me.

You didn't give the ohio results, and no one will every know what the actual results
would have been in Ohio, and had Kerry won, the electoral college would have been
different, and they said that Kerry would have won the election. can you find those
figures? How close was it in Ohio, according to the 'shown' results.
