18181
This might be old history for some, but is intriguing that no representative of the DNC ever actually pursued legal action based on the facts.
In November of 2002, Max Cleland lost to Sambliss in Georgia. All the exit polls were "wrong" and, without explantion, Cleland lost. Machines were part of the issue, of course.
But, also, in 5 different minor races that year, 5 Republican candidates won their elected positions with the same number of votes, machines "counting" the ballots.
Final result of ALL these 5 races for the Republican "winner":
18181 votes.
Some of you will understand the "joke". The binary code assigns letters to numeric characters, is a form of basic "computer coding", let's say that. Where 1 is "a", 8 would be "h"...you guessed that right!, the result of the translation then would be:
18181 = ahaha
18181 = ahaha
18181 = ahaha
Pretty funny isn't?
Max Cleland...
A chickenhawk named Saxby Chambliss attacked Max and called him a coward. Max had given up 3 limbs in Nam...but the label stuck and Max lost his re-election bid.
Interesting that the same bunch of chickenhawks attacked mercilessly, John McCain at the same time. Cost him a presidential run. Good old McCain however, contained himself and went about the country drumming up votes for the election thief--Bush--even after such treatment.
