nothing, those who count the votes decide everything."

"I think it is safe to say at this point that the election of 2002 lacks any credibility at this point. Too many "mistakes", too many malfunctions, too many missing documents, too many dirty tricks, all combine to destroy the illusion that the results to be announced have any basis other than in wishful thinking by those in control of the vote counting process. Certainly the sudden abandonment of the VNS exit polls suggests that the actual polling results are so far out of alignment with the desired results that the media predictions had to be shut down."

Voter News Service Meltdown - Washington
Post article
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A10472-2002Nov5.html
"Voter News Service (VNS) is a top-secret
private consortium owned by ABC News, The Associated Press, CBS News, CNN,
Fox News, and NBC News. It's current headquarters is in Brooklyn, New York.
It's been around (under different names) since 1964. It's the only company
whose exit poll results are used by the news media to announce the "projected"
winners in races for the president, U.S. House and Senate, state governors,
and select races. With the use of computerized vote counters and the news
networks exclusive control over polling data in major elections, the gates
to election fraud were wide open. Computerized voting machines have now
made election fraud as easy as stealing candy from a baby... If VNS is
helping to rig elections, why are they doing it? Generally speaking...
I believe that the same people who can't rake in enough money, also can't
get enough power. The news networks are owned lock, stock, and barrel by
the richest corporations and individuals in the world. They certainly have
an agenda. Their arrogance and disregard for the little guy is clear. They
may think that we're not smart enough to pick the 'right' kind of leaders...
right for them, that is. So they might try to do it for us. Voter News
Service warrants an investigation. Its operations should be shut down regardless.
It's in a perfect position to sabotage the election process. Let the counties
count the vote and report it to the states. If it takes a day or two for
the states to report the results... so be it. Democracy takes time."
Why did VNS
bow out the morning of the election?
VNS got into
a lot of trouble for correctly calling Florida for Gore after
exit polls showed him winning by a comfortable margin. After that
'debacle' they were forced to completely re-design
their computer hardware and software. They
were my client, and ran on a large IBM mainframe
with legacy software. They were forced to get off the mainframe
and on to a completely different hardware and software platform.
Everything had to be built from scratch. Supposedly, they didn't
have time to fully test the new environment thoroughly far enough
ahead of this election cycle. Therefore, they chose
to use this election to test the new environment,
but not publicly release the results.
Why does VNS think their "Gore wins"
Florida 2000 projection was wrong? Bush guaranteed he would win Florida,
even after VNS said he lost it. Why is nobody else suspicious?

- CIA link? VNS, the guys who are deep sixing their exit poll data,
used an outside company to develop their computer programs. It turns out
that the company is..... Battelle Memorial Institute, an Ohio-based technology
company that also works as a defense contractor to help build the new VNS
system. A Battelle spokeswoman declined comment on Tuesday's performance.

"I'm astounded that no one finds
this to be of any interest. If you're going to fix an election one thing
you need to worry about is an outside party monitoring that election and
using well-established and accepted methods of predicting its outcome.
Suppose the consortium had McBride beating Bush by 5% and yet Bush was
declared the winner. Two possibilities: either the exit polling methodology
was flawed or the election was stolen. Are we to believe that a consortium
of the nation's most prominent news organizations is so incompetent as
to have this happen to them?" www.whatreallyhappened.com
