I'm not finding Harris county on your chart for some reason.

Where is the
National Republican Party right now?
There should be busloads of lawyers and million$ already in SD right now.
Thune gets to call the shots, but he needs a lot of support from the national organization right now.

Don't be silly.I can only be as serious about this as God gave me the ability to do so! :-P
Look, the elephant in the room is the 167,000 votes that DID NOT go to Thune. 528 votes out of 167,000...that's 0.3%!
So we're upset because Thune essentially got 316 votes for every 317 votes of Johnson? That ain't no mandate either way. Until you can get these races out of the margin of counting error...there's no way to highlight the fraud.
To: MissAmericanPie
Has Fox News even done a story on the voter fraud in relation to Thune's apparent defeat? If so, I missed it.

Sorry, could not find a "Harris" county in your list, not any where the vote exceeded the registration.
Were you looking at the right state?

did not like the "invasive" nature of the 2000 census What the hell was invasive about it? I gladly cooperated and everyone I know did the same. Only a criminal or illegal would not cooperate and feel invaded!
To: jwalburg
I could not find Harris either but found the numbers under Fall River. Something is wrong with their reporting - probably just the number of actual voters. Or they left out the number of additional ballots they added that had no actual voter for.

ping for followup.

He is not a defeatist and not a disruptor.

Sure you will. There is no satisfying the nutjobs who vote Libertarian and they will never be Republican. Nothing short of total anarchy would satisfy them. If you don't understand history correctly you won't understand the present and they understand neither from what I have seen of their posts.
To: Brices Crossroads; Dante3
Agree with your reasoning. Plus, winning this seat could be critical.

Just a small blip now and then. Fraud must be addressed and defeated as it ultimately controls the direction the nations takes, either towards or away from socialism.
The Press and D.C. need their feet held to the fire to expose it and make fraud an impossible feat to accomplish by consolidating the way federal elections are conducted nation wide to prevent illegal votes. What happens in South Dakota effects the rest of the nation, lax requirments in California effects the rest of the nation, this has to be stopped.

Good response bump...
To: MissAmericanPie
In all this fuss (and rightly fussing, I might add, what with democrat party history of fraud and 'ballot box 'stuffing) not a single person has mentioned contacting the Johnson Campaign and Johnson himself, to question his credibility. If Johnson is in fact the type of despotic democrat that wants to hold his seat by fraud and criminality on the part of his underlings, then the effort would be futile ... but if the man has any decency or is above the criminality of the party in which he has staked his future, he has a vested interest in getting to the truth of voter fraud in South Dakota. The man may be more honest thatn the despots with whom he's aligned. Now is the time to be separated from those criminals, if he actually wants to be.
The future of the democrat party may just be at stake. Let me suggest how: the hierarchy of despotic democrats is gravely threatened. They have proven they are corrupt to the core and will do ANYTHING to sieze and hold power. Now, they're defeated and Johnson's seat is not a deciding edge so he is free to be honest without the pressures of his seat being the 'swing' point (unlike Judas Jeffords, who played his swing position for all he could get out of it).
For that once great party to rise again as a voice of reason for their disillusioned constituency --a constituency with which I seldom agree, folks who support abortion, higher taxes and extensive welfare policies, reductions of the military in an increasingly dangerous world, etc.-- someone is going to have to step forward with a degree of honesty now that the crucial edge has been pierced, removing them from control. Tim Johnson's future could be very bright if he were to repudiate the corruption by truly digging for the facts regarding his narrow margin. Freepers have uncovered gross problems with the numbers in SD. How about posting those findings to the Johnson people as well as the Thune people, to seek an open settlement of the issues?

Well, what can the Dims do in SD? They have to cheat with the Indians because there aren't any blacks there!

NO, no, no! Once a Senator has the seat, getting the full Senate to make the switch would be essentially impossible.Johnson can be seated on a provisional basis, with full seating contingent on the outcome of the investigation.
hchutch is correct about making sure that this thing gets played properly, and avoiding insertion of the GOP into the fray; we could win Thune's seat and lose several others in the future. The Democrats were very smart; they set this up so that they could play the race card onto the GOP if it backfired. The countermove is simple: don't use the GOP.
Your posts regarding all aspects of this election have shown a consistently defeatist attitude. I question your motives in posting on FR.
hchutch is hell of a lot more honorable than most of the "my way or the highway" types here on FR, sweetie. I leave the questioning of ideological purity to the Mikhail Suslov types.

Thanks for the e-mail address. I sent the Thune campaign an e-mail of support and urged them to take a stand against voter fraud.
