I am amused by the conspiracy theorists on the left. I don’t blame them for holding out hope, though statistically it’s unlikely Kerry can gain enough votes. Here’s the theories I found on Democratic Underground:
- The exit polls are never wrong, and they showed Kerry winning Florida and Ohio.
- Canadian TV said it would be an early landslide for Kerry, and they had inside information. (What exactly is inside information during an election?
- In swing states, Bush won with exactly 5% more than polls showed. Coincidence?
- Republicans own Diebold (Diabolical) voting machines.
- Ballots from 40 precincts were loaded into a pickup truck with a “Bush/Cheney” bumper sticker.
What other conspiracy theories have you seen this morning?
