Could it be possible that Daschle actually didn't lose?

[hippiegranny]

I mean, why stop with Ohio, Florida, New Mexico, New Hampshire, etc? Why wouldn't they screw with that one too? The pukes really wanted him gone.

What made me think of this is an article in Indian Country, a publication my boss receives. The headline read "Daschle narrowly defeated despite backing of tribes."

1. There are a lot of races that need a closer look, IMO

Daschle, Bunning, Castor, DeLay, etc.

2. sure

why not go to the SD forum and see what's up there--someone may have some answers for you

3. Bush then the Senate

were the two top needs the Repug voting machine companies could help with.

4. Some of Our DUers

from the res have said that Daschle did not get the same level of historical backing from the tribes as usual because he failed to support them on water rights. But that does not invalidate your question. This race was so close and the stakes were so high that I am sure that if cheating was necessary to insure the "correct" outcome, then it was probably used. What voting system does SD use?

5. Now you are thinking

Cleeland did not loose either, his was stolen

I am sure you have heared of that famoous file now

Many races need close scrutiny, but we need to start at teh top, and hammer one.

We may have even won the House and the Senate...

Now what else do you do?

You start to practice civil disobedience, and do not participate on the economy as much as you can... they may not count the votes but they will count the dollars

6. After 2000,Who didn't think this was going to happen? n/t

7. he lost by 4535 votes

out of a total 391,093....

Yep... could be ts/ops magic.

8. For the life of me, I have no idea how the heck these black boxes were

allowed to be used. We need to fight for 100% paper ballots all hand counted, and in one week we find out who won. Exit polling used as a good indication of who did win for those of us who need to know that night. Anything short of this is not acceptable.

14. 1980 They have taken over the country by taking over the voting

9. my sentiments exactly

I have been thinking that about daschel,Iam sure that there are others.
how else would they be in the majority in the house and senate ... we surely wouldn't have voted them in.
They had to steal ..no choice.They are the minority not us

[bullimiami]

10. exactly. no race without a secure voting system can be trusted.

[Q3JR4]

11. What are we going to do about it?

We can stop purchasing unnecessary items but how big of an impact will that make? The media will spin the outcome in a positive light for the administration.

What we need to do is organize something. Something to make them take notice of what we're trying to say.

What would * and the rest of them say when 50 million dems showed up on the steps of D.C.? What will they do when we issue the list of our demands. What jail could hold us?

What would happen to them if all but five Dems in congress boycotted and those that stuck around did there best to make sure NOTHING went through?

There are over 50 million of us. Let's use the strength in numbers for more than just an economic boycott. Even if one tenth of the individuals who voted for Kerry showed up, we would still be a force to be reconed with.

Come on people! Stand up, take stock and then LET'S ROLL!

12. I heard at some point, I think on the day of the election

that Daschle had filed a lawsuit regarding voting irregularities and the Indian vote...
Has anyone heard this too, and what is the status?

[AllegroRondo]

15. I heard this only applied to one county

Where Republican 'challengers' were following anyone who looked like a Native American out of the polls and took down the license number from their car. Daschle won a 'cease and desist' order from the court.

13. I'm in SD, and i suspect it could have gone either way.

However, i haven't heard one word from Daschle about any investigation or concerns. I emailed his office, but didn't get anything back. The dem leadership right now is pretty worthless, i'm afraid. Looks like we're on our own.
