I've been very critical of most of the
This Election Was Stolen! hysteria. I think we lost nationally by 3.5 million votes, and I don't think there was substantial irregular fraud. Today I put together a diary entitled
Election Fraud Validity Scorecard that attempted to show what is already debunked. It also talked about the ongoing election problems that are used by the Republicans to quasi-legally steal close elections, as well as the threat of no-paper-trail elections in the future.
So most of the wild-eyed claims and theories about massive fraud this year are complete bunk.
But...
There's a small chance that we might be able to put John Kerry in the White House in January.
And the way we might be able to do this is by coming together in the next couple days to Recount Ohio!
Major Correction
This original version of the diary advocated Help America Recount as a vehicle for an Ohio recount.
It turns out there are concerns about whether or not they have standing to file for a recount.
David Cobb of the Green Party is planning to file for a recount, and seems to have none of these issues.
