COLUMBUS -- As Republican officials stonewall subpoenas and subvert the recount process, Rev. Jesse Jackson has pronounced Ohio's vote fraud fiasco "the biggest deal since Selma" and has called for a national rally at "the scene of the crime" in Columbus January 3.

Another major national demonstration will follow in Washington on January 6, as Congress evaluates the Electoral College. Should at least one US Representative and one Senator challenge the electors' votes, a Constitutional crisis could ensue.

John Kerry is not going to challenge the results. The man is not an idiot.

Conyers, on the other hand, is an idiot.

"Should at least one US Representative and one Senator challenge the electors' votes, a Constitutional crisis could ensue."

Political suicide for anyone who did.

Note to Jackson: Wait 'till summer. It's hard to get any of those, that listen to your spew, to rally for juice-tice in the cold of the winter.

The article is long and convoluted. These folks are completely delusional and absolutely convinced that the Pubbies committed fraud to win Ohio. They are out to "document" it but all that is happening is an increase in rhetoric and maybe discovery of minor irregularities that have no bearing on the outcome. The leaders of these groups know Bush won but their whole purpose is to cast doubt on the legimitacy of the win so as to discredit the President and make his second term reforms more difficult to pass.

The more attention they get, the better.

What would have made this a perfect situation was if Michael Moore was involved.

Not for Maxine Waters. Perhaps Jeffords could do it in the Senate.

Yes and the "Automatic Black Person's Ballot Detector/Rejector" developed by Diebold at the request of Karl Rove worked very well.

Do you think this will backfire? I know the DUmmies take it as gospel but the majority of America are centrists. Wouldn't this cause centrist Dems and Independents to move away from them? Most Americans aren't stupid. At least I hope they aren't.

If they challenge the results, then I would say that Christmas has come twice this year.

In New Mexico, where Bush won by just under 6,000 votes, the State Supreme Court put a stop to this nonsense yesterday. It said they could have their recount, but agreed with the SOS that they would have to pony up the entire $1.4 million cost ahead of time. The SOS has said she needs the money up front because it is impossible to send the sheriff out of state to collect from the groups that are demanding the recount. The supremes agreed with her reasoning.
