20. This should be it's own thread.
Nice post Land Shark.
Here is a nice graf...

"However, to use the misleading terminology anyway, if “the screen” was off by
half an inch, it remains unexplained why the machines that were taking Democratic votes
to be Republican votes (the line just below Democrats), were not also taking Republican
votes and making them Libertarian votes, (the line just below Republicans) with similarly
large numbers of complaints from Republicans about “screen calibration issues”. Indeed,
it might also be asked why no Republican votes were recorded as Democratic, though a
true screen calibration defect would not produce errors in both directions at the same
time, one would expect a calibration issue to occasionally go in the up direction and not
just the down direction. Interestingly, the reports of these screen calibration problems"
were virtually all on major ticket races, and not on the various issues and candidates that
were lower on the ticket, even though some of the lower races are in the same position on
the screen as the earlier major ticket races, and thus should be subject to the same
“miscalibration” problems, even if the miscalibration was somehow isolated to one
portion of the screen.
