Electors Teaming With Senators To Challenge Electoral College?!

Please excuse if this is a duplicate thread but I just read an AMAZING article about members of the Electoral College who have given a press conference in which they called on members of the House and Senate to investigate complaints of voter fraud!

This is MAJOR!

1. Wow. Interesting read.

Then I read the posts. Why do I do that? Freepers just jump out of the woodwork like roaches, don't they?

Thanks for posting this.

2. I am keeping an open mind about this one

I really want to see a video, or written statement to this effect. I am tuning in to C-span, maybe they will run a snippet! Please post any follow up information you might have! Please let this be true!

conference on C-span! Do you think this is an attempt to keep the media attention diverted from the issue! I've noticed he seems to be rather chatty lately!

4. Don't get your hopes up...

It's all well and good for Electors and members of the House to call for a challenge to the election.

However, it still takes one U.S. Senator to agree to the chalenge. Remember after the 2000 election was stolen, NOT ONE Democratic Senator had the guts to step forward and challenge it.

Based on the 44 gutless wonders we have in the Senate, you'll excuse me from thinking anything will come of this.

7. Sorry . This is only Indy Media.. Not MSM.

No one will ever hear about this and as it is only Dem electors, it means little.

8. If they help to influence a Senator

to stand up and be counted (no pun intended) then its something major. Every little bit helps.

9. And the "Redefeat Bush" group is meeting with Senators Tuesday

to try and get support for Contesting the Electoral Vote.
RDB group will be giving a press conference at 5:00 tomorrow (Tues) to update on this (I think of 'leftradio').
