73.  If 43% of Dems do NOT believe their vote was counted accurately...
then maybe 'someone' will listen to us. Also, the last number I heard was that about 2/3's of Dems (66%) thought the election had been fair & square - maybe the national mood is swinging just a bit. Maybe. I live in Indiana and our (wuss of a Democrat) Senator Evan Bayh doesn't do anything without consulting the polls -- but if the polls lead, he will follow.

Finally, if 63% of Florida Dems do not believe their vote was counted accurately, then maybe they will push for a recount. There have been local papers in Florida that have been doing a good job reporting on possible vote fraud - and local papers print what their subscribers want to read. The Floridians learned the lesson of 2000: Gore won Florida when it was recounted after Bush had been appointed President. The Voter News Service exit polls that called Florida for Gore were accurate. The votes of Floridian Democrats were discounted in 2000 and they remember it well.

We may not have people in the streets demanding justice like in the Ukraine, but for the US sheeple to begin to admit doubts this soon after the election is progress.

And - yes - this *is* depressing in so many ways. But maybe less depressing than it was a day ago... :eyes:
