"In 2000, if Al Gore had just held on and fought to the bitter end, he would have been president," said Mark Lomax, a black Columbus musician challenging the vote. "I kind of have the same feeling now — whether or not you like John Kerry, that's not the issue. It's just that your vote counts."

Keep dreaming, loser! And if voters left in frustration, whose fault is it that their votes didn't count? How can your vote count when you DIDN'T vote? Duh!!!

I thought I would always remember the particulars of election 2000, but wasn't it something like Dec. 19th when all the recounting stopped? I could Google it, but I'm lazy tonite.

My point being, Al Gore fought his Soreloserman little butt off to become president.

One of my jobs in Cayuhoga County was to make sure that voters in line stayed there at poll closing. The Dems would do the same in any precinct where they found that to be an advantage. The voters that "left in frustration" in Ohio were the same that "were intimidated" by seeing a police car in Florida in 2000. They were objects of lawsuits rather than real people with real complaints.

This is part of a carefully thought out, post-Florida 2000 strategy to discredit simple arithmetical counting of real votes by legal voters as the cast-iron bottom line of who wins and who loses.

What the real leaders of Boxer's silly little tantrum seek is twofold: First, that people wake up the day after an election, with all the votes counted, and say "I wonder who really won?"

Second, the proliferation of laws for election contests, ballot challenges, election courts and election judges. They want to put elections under the direct control of the Federal government unstead of under the unreviewable control of the People in their localities.

The reason they want this is simple: It's much easier for them to prevail in the courts or in a protracted, lawyer-driven "post-election" process than it is on election day.

It was insanity to collaborate in the "Help America Vote Act" to fix fictitious problems with the Florida 2000 vote. The only problem in Florida was that the democrats lost, and lacked the post-election cheating tools to recover in time.

NOW, they are willing to try to discredit a 100 000+ vote win, while affirming their 100-vote win in WA as sacrosanct.

This is going to get worse and worse, no doubt with the help of stupid Congressional Republicans.

There are no problems with the voting.

There are no problems with the voting.

There are no problems with the voting.
