Memory Hole: A Connecticut Stink in King George's Court

(Updated: originally posted January 3, 2007)

Before beginning, readers, I will inform you that if you look at my profile, I began this blog in September of 2006.

One of the reasons was that at the time I thought it was important that Republicans not steal the elections.

I therefore read two solid months of all the MSM political crap from the New York Times and Boston Globe, and had a complete state-by-state analysis of all the elections.

Well, that was all lost when the blog was tanked in July '07.

If you notice, I have no posts in my archives before 8/07.

Much of the important stuff got reposted; however, when I read over the printed copies of my pre-July posts, readers, they could have been written yesterday.

The AmeriKan MSM is nothing but recycled and reprinted propaganda.

Anyway, much of my blog that was lost hasn't been reposted, but there are a few select Memory Holes.

This is one:

Here is why I believe -- after meticulous research and number-crunching, I believe the 2006 Connecticut Senate race was rigged.

The Primary

In August, Lieberman lost the Democratic primary to Ned LaMont, 52-48%, in a definite repudiation of the war and Bush. In typical Joe fashion, rather than gracefully step aside and respect the voters wishes, Joe serves himself and decides to run as an Independent.

The Funders

So the general campaign began. LaMont poured $10.7m of his own money into the race, but Lieberman still enjoyed a fund-raising advantage as GOP donors funneled cash into Lieberman coffers, among them "Joseph Allbaugh, one of President Bush's four closest political confidantes during his 2000 presidential campaign, and "longtime Bush family friend and former ambassador Melvin Sembler," as well as "the heads of several Texas-based corporations." New York City Mayor, R-Michael Bloomberg also put his money and support behind Lieberman. Campaign finance reports show Lieberman raised $14.8 million, while LaMont raised about $9 million in the same period. Still, Joe accused LaMont of trying to buy the election.

The Polls

After having lost the primary, a poll conducted in early September had Lieberman ahead by 10 points, and nearly six weeks later Lieberman had pulled ahead to a 17-point lead, allegedly gaining among independent voters and men. By election eve, most polls had Joe with a double-digit lead (although Zogby had the race scored as a 4-point difference). Exit polls the day of the election had Lieberman ahead by five percent, 46-41; however, the official count on election night had Lieberman garnering 50% of the vote; LaMont, 40%; Republican nominee Alan Schlesinger, a former state rep and convicted criminal, 10%; and two independent candidates a total of !%.

The first thing that sticks out are the round and even totals; however, that -- in and of itself -- is not sufficient to call into question the results. The weekend after Nov. 7, Lieberman was on "Meet the Press" and host Tim Russert provided detailed exit polls on the senate race. These percentages were used to formulate my analysis, and will be referred to in the next section.

The Analysis

So I start crunching numbers (using the official results as provided by the New York Times). As a baseline, I add the total votes cast for Democrats and Republicans in the House races. Democratic votes totaled 652,033, while Republicans came in with 421,000 exactly. I consider these voters the hardcore base and leaners.

In the Senate race, a total of 1,130,817 votes were cast -- a difference of 57,784 votes when compared to the House races. I consider these votes independent, middle-of-the-road voters. I then subtract the 10, 561 votes that went to the independent candidates in the Senate race, leaving me with an unassigned pool of 47,223 votes.

So the number-crunching begins. Final vote totals for the Senate race were: Lieberman -- 562,850 votes; LaMont-- 448,077 votes; Schlesinger-- 109,329 votes. According to Russert, exit polls showed Lieberman with 70% of the Republican vote, Schlesinger with 21% and LaMont at 8%. On the Democratic side, Lieberman allegedly held 33% of Democrats, LaMont allegedly came in at 65% with Schlesinger getting 2%.

Let's do the math (Republican votes) + (Democratic votes) = (Baseline votes):

Lieberman: (294,700) + (215,171) = (509,871)

LaMont: (33,680) + (423,821) = (457,501)

Schlesinger: (88,410) + (13,041) = (101,451)

Now subtract the baseline votes from the totla votes cast to see what portion of the 47,223 independents each candidate should receive (Total votes) - (Baseline votes) = (Independent votes candidate receives):

Lieberman: (562,850) - (509,871) = (52,979)

LaMont: (448,077) - (457,501) = (-9,424)

Schlesinger: (109,329) - (101,451) = (7,878)

WTF? How can that be? Do you see the calculations? Lieberman needs an additional 53,000 votes, yet there are only 47,000 to draw from; Schlesinger still requires nearly an additional 8,000 votes; and LaMont needs to GIVE BACK over 9,000 votes? What is wrong with this picture?

Still not convinced (and don't say faulty exit polls; they are using them again 2008)?

Then let me offer one more small, tiny, almost unnoticed figure:

In 2000, Lieberman defeated Republican challenger Phil Giordano, 63-34%. Lieberman totaled 828,902 votes to Giordano's 448,077.

In 2006, Lieberman defeated LaMont, 50-40%. Lieberman totaled 562,850 votes to LaMont's 448,077.

Now what are the chances -- considering all the demographic changes that take place in six years -- that both Lieberman's 2000 and 2006 opponent would poll the EXACT SAME NUMBER of VOTES!!? The odds are ASTRONOMICAL, and is the best proof of a steal. Almost as if the 2000 election results were softwared and inserted into the voting machines.

The Fallout

Lieberman has seen his power and influence rise. Joe is in the catbird seat in the Senate, and can blackmail the Democrats if he wishes. Lieberman is most-likely found at the elbow of John McCain these days. That's probably why Joe Lieberman's popularity continues to tank. Nevertheless, Reid says Joe Lieberman will keep Chairmanship in '09.

GO FIGURE, readers!!

In the full, January 2007 post I had documented other shenanigans in Ohio, Florida and some other states, as well as analyzing the fairness of all results.

Looking back on it, and considering the results of the Democratic-controlled Congress, I now look back on all that hard work as wasted effort -- which is why I'm only posting selected, Memory Hole morsels.

This was one.

Is it any surprise the Zionist Jew Joe Lieberman is intricately involved with the direction and control of America?

He sure gets a lot of press!
