Something coming today on the Ohio vote investigation
I don't know what it is, and furthermore I was told it is "nothing earth shattering, just imminent next steps," but apparently there will be some news later today.

This isn't one of those OMG OMG OMG HUGE NEWS COMING things, so don't go waiting with baited breath, but it bears watching. When I find out, I'll post it.

1. Is there any type of word on the military vote counts?
This whole thing is so in the dark...that it's like there never WAS an election!

8. Amazing how much attention the military vote got in 2000...
and it seems to have been completely hidden in 2004. Could it be because it flipped completely from strong pro-Bushitler to strong anti-Bushitler? It's hard to imagine he could so egregiously abuse them for his whole term, and not make them extremely angry. Certainly Rummy's press conference seemed to show the actual mood of the troops, and Rummy appeared to be in danger. Gee, I thought they were all over there singing "On The Good Ship Lollipop" and having Bush rallies.

16. I agree--if the troops went for chimpo the clown
That is all we would be hearing about...so I am assuming his numbers were not good!

3. Did you know they're looking for you in another thread?
DUers were posting yesterday urgently seeking you to write a press release to alert international media to voting fraud here. If you haven't seen that thread and need help finding it, let me know and I'll start hunting.

11. It's quiet. Toooooooo quiet.
Yeah, me too.

This is just like 2000 -- only quieter. I fear there will be nothing more to see, and we will all have to move along.

Could the Dems have been playing games with votes too? If that is the case, nothing will ever come out -- and we will never know. And elections will never be real again.

::sigh::

5. by nothing earth shattering do you mean that you think it's something
that won't really be surprising to those of us who have been following closely, or do you think it's something genuinely new?

I know I do. :) DU is like a "CNN Headline News" channel that actually reports news the second it breaks. Plus, it's Scott Peterson free!

27. Will - If you are still online please
see "A readable, convincing summary of Ohio vote fraud analyses" at
<http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x137414>

I wrote it because I felt like you did about the Conyer's hearing -- it was great and it could have been much better if they had presented their case right there on C-SPAN.

Thanks!

If only we could catch an insider who rigged it? I don't like the phrasing you used. It sounds like you hope we rigged it, which is totally inappropriate.
