Libertarian Badnarik Hints Fraud May Have Swung Election
Exit Polls Pointed to Kerry
The Libertarian Party's 2004 presidential candidate, Micheal Badnarik, has hinted in a post on the party's web site that Sen. John Kerry(D-MA) may have been the legitimate victor in the election. Libertarians are not typically allied with Democrats or left liberals. Though socially liberal, Mr. Badnarik and his party are fiscally ultra-conservative and strongly oppose gun control.
According to Mr. Badnarik, "The phenomenon that is most damaging, in my point of view, is that for 20 years now, the media have been doing exit polls and using that information to project who was going to win that election," he said.
"And because people leaving the polling places are typically very candid, the exit polls have historically been within 1 percent of the actual vote totals.
"Now, all of a sudden in this election, the exit polls and the vote totals differ by a significant amount -- and the talking heads on television are looking at it and wondering why the exit polls were wrong in this election. From what I can see, there's no reason to believe the exit polls were wrong, and fairly good reasons to believe that it was the election process that was faulty."
Mr. Badnarik and David Cobb, the 2004 presidential candidate for the left liberal Green Party have sought a recount of the Ohio vote.
