1. We need to focus on the contests in Florida and Ohio. Something stinks in Denmark, folks. All the new registered voters in these two states should have put Kerry over the top. Florida, especially, smells rotten because of the margin of Bush's win.

But any state that was previously Gore in 2000 (or even a close call), and then went Bush in 2004, should be investigated.

Someone needs to crunch the numbers in both these states. New registers vs. party affiliation vs. real votes. This will give us a starting point. This is the most important task.
Once #2 has been accomplished, compare the numbers to the tabulated votes. Is there a sigificant difference? Something out of the ordinary? If so, then we need to focus on the mechanisms of the tabulation.

Here are some arguments for ballot measure 36 in Oregon, the attempt to ban gay marriage in Oregon. These were printed in the Oregon Voters Guide.

Oregon Voter's Guide

Obviously, these are actually arguments against the measure, but uses over-the-top reverse psychology.

By the third one, I think it becomes a bit too much.

Confident about election, but Bush may retaliate...

...by making a recess appointment in Rehnquist takes a turn for the worse soon. Some question whether he would be able to get away with it - especially if the election were to head to the high court once again.

The NYT weighs in:

The political ramifications of filling a vacancy on the court would depend in part on when it occurred. The picture could be tremendously complicated if a vacancy were to occur while it appeared that a contested election was heading once again for the Supreme Court.

But even if the election goes off without a hitch (oh, but to dream!), I can still see Bush paying back his fundies base by appointing a new justice durting the congressional recess. Why not? His friends will think he's hero. They are already making the argument that he is obligated to fill the position before the body is cold: (below the fold) Read More

Two conservative Christian groups are boycotting Proctor & Gamble products because the company is backing a ballot measure in Cincinnatti that overturns a law prohibiting any laws giving gays rights.

Fox News

The wacko fundies say P&G's backing of the measure amounts to the support of gay marraige:

"They may not come right out and say it," he said. "But it's quite clear and apparent that Procter & Gamble is seeking to support the homosexual agenda, and the number-one goal of the homosexual agenda is gay marriage, so I don't think it's a stretch to say they support gay marriage."

FDLE Commissioner Guy Tunnell is now investigating alleged registration fraud by ACORN, an organization that mobilizes poor voters. Of course, he is not the least bit specific as to who or where these violations occured. This is a pure intimidation tactic.

In some cases, persons who believed they were signing petitions later found out that their signatures or possible forged signatures were used to complete a fraudulent voter registration. In other instances, it appears that workers hired to obtain legitimate voter registrations filled in the information on the registration forms that should have been completed by the registrants. On several occasions, workers appear to have signed multiple voter registrations themselves using information obtained during the registration drive. In many of the situations complained about, the workers were being paid on the basis of each registration form submitted.
