We have seen a five-fold increase in our caseload since 2000, ... We went from 4,000 complaints a year, from 4,000 referrals a year to 17,000. And we think that's just the tip of the iceberg.

I haven't seen anything like this in 23 years,

We're not going to fold on this. It would take a lot more than what I have seen so far for me to be convinced that somebody is up to no good at the Board of Elections, but this kind of thing just adds to the perception.

They haven't seen an increase since 2001 and this is the first year, in all four reports, that they showed an increase. With the economy coming back, they are just starting to regain the ground lost in those two years.

We'd like to see five or six more in the works yet this year.

This year has seen the rebirth of the car, as we saw a two percent increase in that segment's market share, while SUV market share decreased by nearly the same percentage. We expect this trend to continue in 2006, as manufacturers will be launching new hybrids, subcompacts and other fuel-efficient products.
