Go for it! MSNBC 'Countdown' tonight was on election fraud. E.g., it reported 29 elections results in Florida overwhelming reporting Bush votes with overwhelming Democratic registrations! It gave 5 examples with numbers on the screen. All 29 had used Diebold scanners!
'Countdown' also mentioned Ohio issues, altho not Diebold computers. I think it will be continued tomorrow night (8 Eastern). Ranking House Minority Judiciary Committee Member Conyers stated on the program that he could not say the results would not have been affected if they counting were honest (but he also noted that his leader had already conceded). Bottom line: the issue has gone mainstream, Kerry or no Kerry.
