interesting correlation in virginia

Now, it may just be a case of causation without correlation but this is the first election in many years that we had paper ballot in virginia. It was ordered by the courts recently and they got rid of every machine.

Remember this pattern where the dem leads a couple points in the polls and then lose to the repub every single fucking time on election day.. Well this time it went the other way. Makes you wonder....

It's a lot harder to cheat when you don't have those damnable machines to help.

still, all the pundits were starting to raise the possibility of gillespie winning. This was the drumbeat in the media. This time it did not materialize. Whatever the reason im happy we won.
