Was the U.S. Presidential Election rigged again?
Rumours are starting to circulate that the unusually large discrepancies between the actual election results and the exit polls in key swing states such as Florida and Ohio this year can be suspiciously correlated with the use of electronic vote-counting machines from private corporations that openly support the Republican Party.

Scandalous election rigging, or liberal sour grapes? You’ll have to decide for yourself, but after the 2000 election, I certainly wouldn’t put it past the current administration to cheat. Thanks to Meg N. (via Scyld) for compiling these links.
On a lighter note, Scyld also found a very entertaining ad on Craig’s List (Austin) today:
