Voter dissatisfaction indicates election won't be close

Bogus polls mask landslide in the making or mask Widespread Republican Vote Fraud
Conventional wisdom suggests this year's presidential
election will be close. Practically every poll taken has the race
within the margin of error. At the risk of looking like a fool, I am
prepared to respectfully disagree with conventional wisdom to offer the
following contrarian perspective: The election will not be close.
Before you sit down to your computer to begin your "Williams, have you
lost your mind?" rant, hear me out. I have reached this conclusion for
two reasons. My first reason is shaped by what polls cannot see. When I
was in Philadelphia last week, the Philadelphia Inquirer ran a story in
the local section that addressed increased voter registration. The
final day of registration in Pennsylvania and New Jersey last week
brought huge crowds to registration offices. As of September,
Philadelphia had received 219,000 applications from either new voters
or those who had moved or had been stricken from the rolls. With some
60,000 applications arriving on the final day, it is possible the
city's volume this year could break the record of 293,000 applications
set in the tension-filled mayoral race of 1983 between Wilson Goode and
Frank Rizzo. This trend of increased voter registration is replicated,
in particular, in a majority of the battleground states. [more ]
