Actually it was Freepers that caught them first!

Actually, I'm pretty sure it was the FReepers that caught them red
handed.
I began reading a thread that pointed me to the info on ABC...Then,
there
was a post from someone who fired off the news to Drudge...Then, the
post
indicating Drudge had picked it up!

Arrogant sobs at abc.
For anyone who suspected voter fraud, you now have serious ammunition.
They
were probably downloading the final #s and by accident it hit thier web
page.
I guess they'll have to change the numbers to Boxer 51% and Fong 44% or
something.
I guess Boxer wins. I'd like to 'pull the plug' on the major media.
BTW, is
it not true that ABC, NBC, and CBS are all owned and controlled by
hardcore
Jews?

Didn't mean to still anyone's thunder. Freepers are the best!!! I just
got

To: JerseyBoy
I am prepared to believe that it was an inadvertent mistake in the
course
of testing their website for election day. Their explanation and
apology,
in my opinion, was too late, cursory and insufficiently contrite.
ABC I believe is obligated to broadcast their contretemp and withdrawl
repeatedly and ad nauseum on election day. By the manner they handle a
mistake, we will judge them.
When you screw up, own up.

No argument there.
For
anyone who suspected voter fraud, you now have serious ammunition. They
were probably downloading the final #s and by accident it hit thier web
page.
There isn't any reason to believe this. Capitol Hill Blue received the
same numbers from the same test feed.
I guess they'll have to change the numbers to Boxer 51% and Fong 44% or
something.
They'll change, all right. Chill out, it was just test data. I guess
Boxer wins. I'd like to 'pull the plug' on the major media. BTW, is it
not true
that ABC, NBC, and CBS are all owned and controlled by hardcore Jews?
You have now parted company with reality. And racist posts aren't
welcome here.

Remember, ABC is in the middle of a wildcat strike, and ABC is
threatening
to lock the union out tomorrow. I think that probably has something to
do
with it in some way.

Ah, for Christ's sake! What the hell is a "hard core Jew?" Maybe Jesus,
for
instance, Who is of the Tribe of Judah? Would you also say that Hitler,
Clinton, and Idi Amin are hard core Gentiles? You are not Freeper
material.
Go to a Skinhead site! For all I know (or care), Drudge is Jewish --
and he
OUTED ABC on this one!!!

Well, CBS is owned by Westinghouse, NBC is owned by General Electric,
ABC
is owned by Disney and was bought from Cap Cities... all pretty gentile,
but what is a "hardcore Jew" anyway?
Hey, you ain't from around here. Beat it.

I understand running a "test" of the system, but why wouldn't they use
dummy names instead of the real names of candidates in just the result
configurations the White House is hoping for?

I belive the fact that the regular people are not in is the only reason
this happend. The "pros" knew how to handle this stuff in the past, now
new
people are in place and they are making mistakes. Fatal ones for their
news
department, thier, company and their liberal cause.

Sorry ABC its too late your vote tampering scheme has been uncovered.

going to be lawsuits!

As a programmer myself, I know how easy it is to make a mistake when you
are working under the gun (I.E. Internet time).
It's simple incompetence. Somebody was probably testing out the system
using this mocked up form and accidently posted it to the live site
instead.
More interesting to me is the clear bias expressed in the test data.
I.E.
Republicans only pick up 2 senate seats. Not that we need anymore
evidence
of Media bias. But it's ne more stick to throw on the Camel's back.

Good point. Also, how long after posting the mistake would it take to
get
it right back off? I smell a rat here.

Well I for one do not know what to think.
I would enjoy screaming the fix is like in the Ali fight against Foreman
however, I know better. But, it is hard to notice how there are subtle
hints from media people that democrates are not going to lose as big as
once thought.
Last time I checked the polls still had not opened. Any for anyone other
here in Wisconsin that report of Neumann losing by 5% points is hard to
believe when local polls show a dead heat.

Does this mean that we can still have an election? How nice of them!
It has been said that we have the 'four box' system of government:
1. Soap box
2. Ballot box
3. Jury box
4. Cartridge box
The events of recent years appear to have thoroughly corrupted and
invalidated two, perhaps even three of these. Care to guess which ones?

I hate to be redundant, because I've been beaten to it by better
Freepers
than me, but I just got home from a rehearsal of the play The Diary of
Anne
Frank, and was absolutely nauseated by your "hardcore Jews" remark. Jews
fought in our revolution (so did black folks, for that matter, and
Poles,
and all kindsa unsavory characters, including a number of shiftless
farmboys who happened to be my ancestors). Blow it out your ear. I'm so
sick of this kind of talk, I'd almost suspect you were one of those
little
visitors from Carville's stable . . .
