The last place the Democrats want people examining vote fraud is on the sparsely populated, windswept High Plains...
They really stepped in doo-doo with this one. We've got to hit this hard on the Free Republic, because the lamestream media WON'T report on this unless we rub their noses in it - and maybe not even then.

Evidently there will be a mandatory recount. I hope at that time they check those indian reservations carefully for instances of vote fraud. Only about 500 instances of dead warriers and squaws will do the trick.

Since this election is so close, I assume there'll be a mandatory recount, correct? (Don't know for sure since "sparsely populated" means that 500 votes means more than it does in a densely populated state).
And since the FBI is already supposed to be investigating the Indian Reservation mess, could it be that this will be the time we catch the Dems red-handed at what they have been attempting to do to subvert the democratic process for years now?

I think this "loss" by Thune will be a good thing----it will force a vote fraud investigation and maybe bring the Rats dirty tactics into the daylight.

I asked this on another thread, but I thought Indians were their own nations, exempt from taxes and some laws, etc., so how in the heck do they get to vote in US elections? Either they are citizens or they aren't. How can they not pay taxes and yet still get to vote, or is that only some tribes? I'm confused.

All I know for sure is that about 8 pm last night, Ron Kirk resigned as Democrat candidate for Texas senate.
Tom Daschle announced that he will be replaced on the ballot by LBJ and because he's dead (voted twice in this election) his widow, Lady Bird, will serve in his place.

Its safe to say the democrats "have" cheated in S.D., if you believe their get-out-the-vote employee who admitted forging signatures and burning ballots. Whether this will be treated as a crime or not is not clear. Remember, Bush didn't pursue the Rich Pardon, so, since they now control the Senate, I wouldn't be surprised if they sweep this under the rug, so as to not make waves or look mean (aka spinelessness). If there is real evidence, and I believe there is, then it should be pursued. To sweep this away as has been done so many times in the past (as a matter of routine), because of spinelessness (a.k.a. Trent Lott) or fear of letting Americans know for sure that our election system isn't perfect will ensure future elections crime.

Story about malfunctioning balloting machines from the Mitchell South Dakota Daily Republic. (posted FWIW - this probably is nothing.)

Story excerpt:
All eyes were on Davison County during the wee hours today because a vote-counting machine malfunctioned, leaving in doubt statehouse and county races, and possibly the contest for U.S. Senate.
County Auditor Kathy Goetsch initially said repairs were expected by 1:30 a.m. today with final tabulations anticipated by 2:30 or 3 a.m. if all goes well. However, at 2 a.m., technicians had not yet arrived, and it appeared they would not arrive in Mitchell until about 2:30 a.m., pushing tabulations to at least 3:30 or 4 a.m.
"This error did not show up on our the test. I need to make that clear," Goetsch said Tuesday night. "I don't know why. ... We've had this system since 1998 and we've never had a problem like this."

In 2000, it was Flori-duh. In 2002, it's South Duh-Kota.

I have a question -- Does anyone know what if any validity check is being done in the South Dakota recount?
