221. That's a clever suggestion. I hope that it will work.
I worry though, that the current GOP leadership
doesn't seem to feel much shame.

I fear that, given the way they operate, they
will simply find some way of acting on the
words they will offer in support of free and
fair elections which preserves their own power.

If fraud is exposed in Ohio, sufficient
to overturn the election, before Bush is inaugurated,
I think that there is a chance to bring tremendous
public pressure to bear. If evidence only comes after
the inauguration, it will not be as effective.

We know that if that happens the story will certainly
be buried, and presented in such a way as to confuse the
issues, just as it was last time around. It's going to take
something very big to bring a lot more of the (at least)
57 million, on the losing side, into the fight for real.
