You hit the nail right on the head. Gore had all of the subtlety of velvet hammer. This is the right way to handle this. How many feds does it take to detect voter fraud?
I have been a volunteer for the Thune campaign for 12 months now. I appreciate the comments and concern in this forum. It is great to know someone cares because our local (read liberal-leaning) media ARE NOT covering this issue. I can tell you that I had three calls at my home last week from people on the reservation near me who knew of my involement with the campaign wanting to tell me their stories of "shennanigans". (I'll leave the words "voter fraud" for the legal minds.) It was rampant. Thune will be making a statement today (the day the votes are cancassed). I am hoping for a call for a recount. As much as I'd like to see John come away with the victory in this election, it is even more important that the Dems are revealed for what they done. Thune is somewhat limited as to what he can do here. He has a very bright political future which he puts in jeopardy if he is perceived as "whining". The RNC MUST CARRY THE BALL here. Please email them at
info@rnc.org and urge them to get actively involved. The native Americans in our state do not pay property taxes, motor vehicle tax, etc, yet they are able to "steal" and election like this. If it can happen in SD (only 400k voters), it can and will happen anywhere.
