Reply #9: One point of agreement with Jesse, and one point of disagreement:

Agree:

"Computer forensic experts should be involved, because so much of the process is electronically driven, leaving room for hacking."

Disagree:

"We can afford to lose the election. We can't afford to lose our votes, systematically and continually."

We absolutely cannot afford to lose the election if it is proven to have been taken by fraud. Too many things can go wrong in the next four years, power can be consolidated to such a degree as to be insurmountable, the world will be much worse off. No, we cannot "afford" to lose.

If George W. Bush is a pickpocket in the voting booth, he has not "won" anything. Whatever he stole, I want it back, and I want it given to John Kerry if it can be shown to belong rightfully to Kerry.

Just my honest opinion.

Edit: Ooops, I misplaced my manners for a moment. Thanks for transcribing that, you did a great job.
