The healthy act of obtaining a grip
'K.

The suit today was not intended to derail the Electors process. It was intended to begin the process of a recount, said recount to be either in process or completed by January 6th.

That was achieved.

Any who thought that somehow the lawsuit was going to blow up the Electors missed a few details.

Let us chill, and work, and support the suit: www.DefendTheRecount.org

End transmission.

4. Exactly!
The lawyers are opening up multiple avenues and never had a bet the farm strategy on just the seating for the Ohio electors.

13. Generic Other....I REALLY like that handle....
but this "waiting and watching" is taking a serious toll on my ability to make a fucking living. Like, what happened to the "focus" and "concentration" I used to be "famous" for? Out the window. Sucked down the tubes of DU.

15. oh god...don't get me started....
I've got some really, really well connected friends up in Wisconsin (like people I'm sure would have a direct line to Feingold and others)....tried to get them fired up about this, tried to get them to mobilize their networks and resources (he is former high-ranking gov official, has been working as financial consultant to other million-billionaires for years now--most of them Dems).... their response: Well, we read a very plausible explanation for all this in the NYT magazine, and we just think we lost the election fair and square. They think I'm nuts. Thanks again, NYT, for killing another one of my 20-year long friendships.

25. helpamericarecount.org --
or the cobb campaign (anyone have the URL handy)....

at any rate, my money went to both

helpamericarecount.org

and the Cobb-Nader effort...

and to BBV


my understanding is that helpamericarecount.org is the 527 set up to cover the nationwide efforts, but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Who's got the latest info?

12. Needed that
I was up yesterday because I did something and was inspired by the others that got out and voiced "dissent."

Today is a reality check.

28. Arnebeck himself said
If they go through with casting their votes for BShitler today, we will continue to count the votes. And if, when we are done counting, we find that John Kerry won this election, Ohio will send 2 MORE electors to Washington. And that I believe would cause a 'Constitutional Crisis', as they say.

35. We in Ohio consider Bush*s electors to be merely "provisional"...
...And under Blackwell's interpretation of provisional balloting, they can be ignored without peril.
