Frank, just because they say it doesn't make it so. Of course it isnt
getting any press it is a dead issue only kept alive by desperate
democrats.
I'm not a Democrat or a Republican -- I'm an American. I didn't vote
for Bush or Kerry because I don't think either of them are qualified
for the office. And for that reason I really don't care who won this
election. But when it comes time that I -do- care I want to know that
my vote is counted and that the election is legitimate.
And the issue is not dead -- far from it. It's just getting started.
Almost every voting rights organization is criticizing the voting
fraud that occured in Ohio. The evidence of fraud is well documented
and the election results are being contested based on that evidence.
Don't believe me? Browse the internet on the topic. Check out the link
I cited. If you can't handle the whole site, at least check out this

No, the issue is not dead. Not until our elections are more legitimate
than that of the Ukraine and other countries, elections that the US is
quick to criticize when problems occur -- problems like when exit poll
data doesn't fit with the official results.
What I can't understand is why some people are so defensive about the
issue. Do these people think that the legitimacy of Bush's victory is
so shakey that it can't handle scrutiny?
Do people want Bush or do they want a democracy?
