What about Ohio?

2. Did you go to the website?

Here's what I found:

BREAKING -- SATURDAY NOV 13 2004: We have reports that both David Cobb (Green Party) and Michael Badnarik (Libertarian Party) will be filing for official recounts in Ohio. Black Box Voting is also launching a fraud audit in Ohio. Gotta be replaced: Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell. Please invoke the following name change on Blackwell immediately, as he is 2004's Katherine Harris. He should now be referred to at all times as "Katherine Blackwell." Please retain this moniker for any future runs for governor. How to be your own media. Spread the word. Latest Katherine Blackwell outrage: Failure to properly account for provisional ballots, and refusing to allow citizens to see the pollbooks.
=======================================

There may be more but I was so intent on posting the info here that I didn't read all the new stuff.

4. Very good news!! What is this bit about voters not being allowed

to see results? And when will the absentee votes be counted. And does anyone know how I can obtain absentee votes by state?

5. How is a topic "kicked?"

I'd like to keep this on top for awhile, since it's breaking news.

Can I kick this or does someone else have to?

How does one kick a topic, anyhow???

Thanks

6. Voters not being allowed...

I'm not sure what this means-- unless she's referring to when the Ohio officials shut down the counting place and wouldn't let anyone in to watch-- just not sure.

(Supposedly they were afraid of "terrorist attacks")

Yeah, right

9. kick

Sorry-- I actually don't know what Bev Harris meant by voters not being allowed to see the pollbooks.

Probably some new shenanigans they've uncovered-- there's just so much out there!!

10. I can't start a thread yet but this in today's NYT/Reuters

In New Mexico, Bush vs. Kerry Is Still an Issue as Votes Trickle In
By REUTERS

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/14/politics/14vote.html?th

..................Published: November 14, 2004

ANTA FE, N.M., Nov. 13 (Reuters) - Senator John Kerry has conceded, President Bush has laid out his plans for a second term and New Mexicans still do not know who won the election in their state.

New Mexico is the only state that does not have a clear-cut winner in the presidential vote, and state officials have been red-faced over the slow count. The state pledged to speed up counting ballots after it took about a month to tally the vote in the 2000 presidential race, where Al Gore beat Mr. Bush by 366 votes.

With most of the ballots counted, Mr. Bush has about 373,000 votes to 365,000 for Mr. Kerry, and several news outlets have projected Mr. Bush as the winner of New Mexico's five electoral votes.

On Friday, all of New Mexico's counties were required to have completed a count in their regions, but one rural county still had problems and did not meet the deadline. The secretary of state's office said Mr. Bush's lead over Mr. Kerry had narrowed to about 6,800 votes, according to initial tallies of the provisional ballots submitted to the office on Friday.

The main problems this time are the narrow margin between Mr. Bush and Mr. Kerry, troubles sorting through provisional ballots and not learning from the 2000 count, critics said.

It is expected to take more than a week to reach a definitive answer.

"I will not be declaring a winner until Nov. 23," said the secretary of state, Rebecca Vigil-Giron.

About 750,000 people voted in New Mexico, and Republicans said money that should have gone toward counting votes was spent on a marketing campaign intended to increase turnout.

"The counties were unprepared for the volume of voters because the money wasn't there," said Greg Graves, the executive director of the state's Republican Party.
