Perhaps one of the non-existent "watchdogs" or maybe Bruce or Eric will
care to comment on the obvious disrepancies in the above "reports". In
case they need any help seeing the obvious let me ask the question: Why
do the numbers of votes received by the first and eleventh place
candidates both show decreases even though there were 8 more votes
submitted by the second of the "reports"? shouldn't they have at least
remained the same if not increased?!?

"The science of jurisprudence regards the state and power as the
ancients regarded fire- namely, as something existing absolutely.
But for history, the state and power are merely phenomena, just as for
modern physics fire is not an element but a phenomenon.
From this fundamental difference between the view held by history
and that held by jurisprudence, it follows that jurisprudence can tell
minutely how in its opinion power should be constituted and what
power- existing immutably outside time- is, but to history's questions
about the meaning of the mutations of power in time it can answer
nothing."
--Leo Tolstoy, "War and Peace"
