70 - Was There Right-Wing Electronic Voting Fraud In The Midterms? Dispute In Florida's 13th Congressional District Provides The Answer

Ok, we had the midterm election, and there was apparently no nationwide right-wing electronic voting fraud sufficient to tip the scales to the Republicans, since the Democrats, thank goodness, did succeed in taking back both houses of Congress.

I've been wondering, however, was there Republican voting fraud of the electronic variety, just not enough?

And, what does this midterm election portend for the integrity of the vote in the 2008 Presidential and other contests?

Let's examine these questions through the prism of what's now transpiring in Florida's 13th Congressional District. This story hasn't gotten a heck of lot of national attention, but it's important to be aware of this situation, because of what it says about the national prognosis for free and fair elections.

There are 18,000 votes missing in Sarasota County. 18,000 Sarasota voters who chose candidates in other races, supposedly didn't vote, didn't make a choice, in this Congressional contest. These so-called undervotes all occurred on electronic touch screen voting machines made by the Election Systems & Software company. And would have easily provided the winning margin to Democrat Jennings.

How do we know these two things, that there are missing votes, and that those missing votes would have favored Jennings?
