Spreading Support: Daily Kos now supports Election Challenge
This is great, though not written Markos himself. it is currently at the top of the front page of Kos. Posted by "Hunter" It specifically refers to the Georgia10 diary and another. He says he changed his mind.

Senators: Contest the Vote

I cannot speak for anyone but myself; there is no such thing as an "editorial board" on Daily Kos, only individual opinions.

After giving this much thought, I am signing on to the notion that indeed, Democratic Representatives and Senators should contest the Ohio electors tomorrow. That was not my opinion a week ago, but it is now. I've changed my mind not because new evidence has been presented, or new arguments have arisen, but because, in the climate of today, right now, this moment, I believe that Congress is in a tactical position to make a difference.

I do not believe any evidence exists to claim that Kerry definitively received more votes in Ohio than Bush, and I believe the oft-cited exit poll evidence, in particular, is weak. But this election needs to be contested on more fundamental grounds; as an objection to the behavior of partisan election officials, unwilling to take seriously the sacred nature of their duties.

In the last day, two excellent essays (by georgia10 and pointsoflight) have been written describing events in Ohio. Both are strongest in their descriptions of the blatantly partisan, obfuscating, and almost certainly illegal actions of the Ohio Secretary of State, Kenneth Blackwell.

2. I think most of us could use a bit of a jump start to get us pointed in
the right direction.
