Nader’s recount request came in as a fax at 4:59 p.m., one minute before the deadline.

The application is not legal, however, because it did not come with payment, according to Assistant Attorney General Bud Fitch.

“At this point, we aren’t considering it to be a valid request,’’ he said.

Nader can appeal that decision to the state Ballot Law Commission.

Two years ago, the commission agreed to go forward with a recount for a legislative seat after a losing candidate tried to fax a copy of the check to pay for the recount.

Secretary of State Bill Gardner said a Nader official told him the campaign tried to fax a copy of the check to pay for the recount but it jammed.

“If they appeal, it’s up to the Ballot Law Commission to settle this,’’ Gardner said.

Every passing day increases the acceptance among mainstream America. If we keep fighting this, the democratic party will be seen as VERY sore losers, and will be completely destroyed.

If things were reversed the GOP would say "yeah we're sore losers - and proud of it. We were robbed and we're gonna fight."

and get it to our friends and relatives.
it needs to start as a groundswell.

electoral fraud is fundamentally unamerican. now, its not so unamerican to jigger it a little here and a little there. we have come to expect it and consider it part of the game. but to massively rig the game beforehand. that is an anathema to the american ethic.

talk to people. tell them what happened. tell them you KNOW it to be true. tell them it is deadly serious and see what sort of response you get.

i told one of the most bush loving men i have ever met. i looked him right in the eye and told him this election was stolen with massive fraud, that he may not know it or believe it but i KNOW IT TO BE TRUE and I think very little of the man he supports, I consider him a criminal.
he didnt laugh me off, i think he knows in his heart it is true.

and that this is going to destroy the democratic party. this is not the first time you have said this.

YOU ARE WRONG. FLAT WRONG.

WE DIDNT GET OVER IT LAST TIME. WE GOT STRONGER AND WE RAN HARDER THIS TIME.
IF WE JUST LET IT SLIDE THAT WILL KILL THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
WE NEED TO FIGHT. WIN OR LOSE WE NEED TO FIGHT THIS TO ITS END.
AL GORE GOT SO MUCH CRAP FOR CONCEDING AFTER HE FOUGNT LIKE A WOLVERINE.
WE KNOW EVEN BETTER NOW, WE KNOW BUSH IS A LIAR AND CHEAT AND HAS NO GOOD IN STORE FOR US. DO YOU THINK THE TWINS ARE GOING TO FIGHT HIS INSANE CRUSADE. IF THEY DO IT WOULD BE TOKEN, IN A SAFE POSITION WHERE THEY COULD NEVER BE HURT, ANOTHER SHAM CHAMPAGNE UNIT TO PROVIDE THE ILLUSION. HE IS GOING TO SEND OUR KIDS TO KILL AND BE KILLED.
IF WE FIGHT, HARDER THAN THE LAST TIME, AS HARD AS WE CAN, EVEN IF WE LOSE...WE WIN.
IF WE DONT, WE ARE DONE. THERE WILL BE NO REASON TO VOTE EVER AGAIN, AND NO REASON TO FIGHT AGAIN.
