somehow demand a recount? I mean another DUer just posted that 1.1% triggers an automatic recount. We all know those votes are there.

1. The "other poster" was incorrect.
1.1% does not trigger a recount. It's tens of thousands of votes above the recount threshold.

4. I don't think that's necessary...
It's still a discussion worth having - whether Castor should demand a recount on the basis of identified fraud?

3. This inaction woul again add to circumstatial evidence that something is h
appening behind the scenes. The thing is, the Dems and Kerry are a little too quiet. This can mean two things. Our country has crossed the line to a new era of gov't. If you think the last 4 were bad just wait. The lack of press and fight from Dems could be just that they are under hard control now and that the Dems are a dispowered party, left only to give the show of a fair system. OR They could all be acting funny because they know something we don't. Otherwise he SHOULD be at least sniffing around...

5. .5% was the threshold in 2000
but it could certainly get closer upon recounts.
