The Wage Slave Journal

The Wage Slave Journal: "Has nobody suggested to Cleland that he might have lost because the electronic voting machines were 'fixed'? A statistician using all the polling data from just before the election as well as exit polling could probably easily demonstrate that the odds of the kind of 'swing' happening from the percentages published by the polls pre-election to those shown in the final election were far more 'amazing' than the so-called upset. In DNA testing, if the odds of a blood sample being another person's and not the defendant's are in the range of 1 chance in 99, you can be as sure as is possible in a court case that the guy's guilty. In the same way, if the chance of there being the kind of swing as in this case happening are in the range of 9-1 or higher, you can be as sure as it's possible to be that the voting machines were fixed, almost certainly by the Republican owners of the company that built and handled the machines. Why is Cleland not checking into this???? He should begin with the Johns Hopkins and Stanford scientists who are the experts on such electronic voting machines and then ask statisticians to check out the statistical chances of such an election result happening in the face of the pre- and post-polling data. He'd have an extremely strong case in any court of fraud at the polls."
