People are arguing with me that George Bush had his brother cheat for him on the elections.... Is there any backing to this at all? Anything?

no more so than the democratic machine "cheated" for gore
there were things done that helped to tip it in bush's favor because it was such a very close race. its done in every state based on the majority party in that state

Exactly, it makes no sense. If anyone can give me any well thought out conspiracy theories about this, it would be appreciated, but if I can't find anything, I'm passing off this argument as 100% pure bullshit.

you shouldnt, its quite widely documented although i suspect if you think the bbc is untustworthy you wont pay attention to this as its the only link i can find right now.

you'll have to read all of this article to find what went wrong in the election procedure.

i saw an interested show on freespeech tv the other day discussing how they removed many thousands of presumed democrat voters from the rolls by trying to purge some convicted felons. very interesting. but it occurs in every state its just that it seldom makes a difference because the margins are usually higher than what happened in florida

Other than his brother voting more than once, he probably didn't have any power to help his big bro cheat.

never forget what Diebolt did to Max Cleland and how he vowed to deliver Ohio to Bush

No it is not true.
what is true is that the democrats tried, unsuccessfully, to rig the election in their favor.

No it is not true.
what is true is that the democrats tried, unsuccessfully, to rig the election in their favor.but of course the republicans who are far more expreienced in corruption naturally prevailed in the cheating game
