Forgive me if this has already been posted, but I think the following post from that South Dakota thread (Johnson Now Leads Thune) kind of sums up what we're talking about in Shannon County and elsewhere. This is from a freeper named "tanakamaria" and she grew up on a reservation so is ideally suited to get this kind of report and judge its veracity. This is her report.
Okay folks, I know we all know the Dems cheated on the reservations, but I just talked to a poll worker on the phone from the Cheyenne River Reservation and what she told me made me sick.

She said there were absentee ballots that were obviously fake, all kinds of people voting that were not old enough to vote, people showing up to vote with absentee ballots that they didn't request. She said the Dems brought in lawyers from Washington DC and Indiana, and that they were heavily pressuring the poll workers to accept and count the questionable ballots.

She is also sure that lots of the voters were paid to come in and vote. One man and woman came in stinking drunk to vote, and when they got in the booth the man asked the woman "So how much cheese are we going to get for voting?" Don't laugh, I am not making that up. She said that if some of the voters that came in were 18 years old, then she had the Brooklyn Bridge to sell me. They don't have to show ID to vote, their names were on the rolls, so they had to let them vote.

I asked her opinion on Shannon County, and she said she was sure that they left that til last so they could see how many votes they needed. She works in a relatively small precinct (200 or so voters) so I can only imagine what went on in the larger areas.

She also said the Dem lawyers breathed down their neck the whole time and were obnoxious beyond belief. She said she can understand how all that crud went on in Florida because the people that came in were the stupidest people on the planet. She said they didn't know how to vote, they didn't know how to do anything.

Thanks for bringing that post over here. It is truly sickening and I'm sure went on all over the state. Unfortunately, the poster says in a later message that her poll worker source "doesn't want to get involved" and won't report her observations.

It is my understanding from following the posts of Congressman Billybob, an FR legal expert with much experience in the high courts, that the recount occurs automatically because of the small difference in the votes between the candidates. (Some are disputing that Thune must request the recount within 3 days - I'm not sure who's right about that.) Thune will then have the remedy of the courts, if need be, after the recount.
