These are composite maps depicting by shades of blue, purple, and red how people voted in 2004. The lower map is drawn by population. Is it me or does the shades of red look like a cancer invading . . .

It seems as though the maps depict how votes were counted although not necesarrily as they were cast.

Read Block the Vote by Robert Kennedy and Greg Palast.

Cool. The bottom map kind of looks like a mummy.

Devin have you noticed how many "Thinking" Republicans are now endorsing Obama in the last few days?

Very Interesting Devin, I'm assuming you generated these yourself since there is no attribution of another person's work ... or is that a copyright oversight?

Diana, thanks for the video link, there are a lot more video clips of "Uncounted" the documentary movie at Youtube.

Here is the story of Clint Curtis a Republican Programmer who was offered a million dollars not to mention the existence of vote-flipping software that can turn an election ... it is part of the documentary movie "Uncounted".

My question is .... what are Democrats going to do this time ??
