A Plea.

[pmb]

Despite my disappointment at the outcome of this election, what is most important to me is that the people have at least nominally spoken. The election has been held, and we support the system, even if we do not support the winner. At all.

To that end, if faith in the system is lost, then all is lost. Because you can't fix anything within a broken system. So please, please, PLEASE, someone tell me where the fault in this graph lies. Because I desperately want to believe that he actually won. The alternative is too awful.

Well, the opposition seems to also be calling for an investigation of why the exit polls were so wrong, based on the idea that the election was right and th epolls were wrong - http://www.thehill.com/morris/110404.aspx

So at the very least everyone can agree that something is fucked.

If exit polls are what people said they voted, they might have lied. I have a friend who voted for Bush but if anyone he doesn't know asks(in Democratic Seattle), he says he voted for Kerry but he doesn't want to deal with angry people who disagree with him.
