Great Blog from Keith O. from last night.
Hope it's not a duplicate. Did a search and
didn't see anyone else mentioning it.
Wide-ranging commentary on Ohio, historic comparison, sports, and Pat Tillman.
He mentions how important it is for the GOP which continues to claim the "moral values" mandate to do the "right thing" by Ohio.
Good to see Bloggerman staying with the Ohio story.

Outgoing Democratic National Committee (news - web sites) Chairman Terry McAuliffe said the party will spend "whatever it takes" to study complaints from Ohio voters that included uncounted votes, long lines, shortages of ballots, understaffed polling stations and voting machine errors.

From Editor and Publisher
Those who believe that something's rotten in the state of Ohio, that it mishandled the Nov. 2 election, shouldn't hold their breath waiting for a revelation from the state's major papers that might call into question President Bush (news - web sites)'s victory.
-----
The story quotes most of the editors of the major dailies in Ohio.
Perhaps the most lackadaisical is the editor of the Toledo Blade.
Here's here info, if you'd like to share your concern about his nonchalance about the First Amendment. . .

Both NBC and ABC broadcast stories tonight on how to avoid car/deer collisions.

I'm sure this is an important story, but neither bothered to mention the New Hampshire recount,
the Berkeley prof's press conference, the growing questions about the Florida and Ohio's votes.

Oh, well, it least it has nothing to do with prostate cancer or Viagra, typical faves of the
SMSNM (shrinking market share network media).

As the year rolls to a close, let's take a poll.
what's been the most over-covered story of 2004.

WanderinIndiana has compiled the newspaper coverage of the count/recount/provisional ballot story.

Finally we're getting some traction.
Please read and recommend this diary.

Also visit the listed links of the newspapers, the more traffic they get for their websites, the more they'll revisit the story.

It may mean registering for Knight Ridder newspapers, like the Akron Beacon Journal, but it'll be worth it to monitor how actively they're keeping their eyes on the voting.

Sorry, if someone else has already posted this. I did a search and couldn't find it.
Keith has an interesting take on the deafening silence of network/cable news and metro newspapers on the Ohio/FL count/recount stories.

He noted that, now, at least AP is covering it which is why you'll see it popping up more and more on small newspaper sites.

It's not a groundswell, but you can find it online today at the websites of the Marion, OH, Canton, OH newspapers and a few other places. The wire story ran on the digital edition of the Star-Tribune, the Minneapolis,
paper which probably has a past week readership of at least 300,000.

Isn't it scary that one of the events that might change history forever (the Ohio recount) doesn't even merit a minute of news?
Furthermore, why aren't the Ohio newspapers covering this.
Buckeyes, are you contacting your local newspapers' publishers and editors about this?

New Mexico newspapers
have blown it all off.

At least the Seattle PI is covering their governor's race. Gregoire is only 600+ votes behind Rossi, and they're still counting. UPDATE GREGOIRE IS NOW AHEAD BY 600+!

Good Monday morning:
They're readying to count provisional ballots in Ohio, still counting in New Mexico, and still counting the gov's race in Washington.

Let's keep the process open and top of mind.

E-mail your daily newspaper whereever you are, and say you want them to keep you apprised of this historic condition.

E-mail publishers as well as editors.
Remember editors control paragraphs.
Publishers control pursestrings.

In the meantime, let's hear how the most affected paragraph factories are faring:

Brief explainer:
Whichever newspapers get the larger bars, need the most e-mails sent to remind them of their civic duty.

There seems to be a struggle inside the Democratic party and indeed, even inside this blog. Some people want to acknowledge that Bush won, and move on.

Others want to support blackboxvoting.org, the Ohio and other state recount efforts.
How do you feel?

Still others want to focus on fixing the system for future elections.

Where do you stand?

Take poll.

The Ohio newspapers aren't treating the recount story with any kind of serious credibility.
Visit the websites of:
The Cincinnati Enquirer
The Dayton Daily News
The Toledo Blade
and you'll barely find a mention of this story which is so important on the first Sunday of the counting of the provisional ballots.
Many of you have probably e-mailed a letter to the editor. Integrity doesn't talk. Money talks.
E-mail the publishers. Publishers are basically CEOs when it comes to newspapers anymore.
Publisher of the Dayton Paper is Brad Tilson.
Here's more info: It's a Cox Newspaper.

Cincinnati Enquirer is a Gannett newspaper. www.gannett.com

Did anyone ever get a final Iowa vote?

All I can find is that 13,000 vote difference that we all had election night. Were the absentee ballots ever all counted?

AP said that election officials decided that the absentee and provisional ballots wouldn't make a difference in the outcome. But supposedly Iowa was going to count them anyway. And then the story dropped out of the Des Moines Register and other Iowa media. Does anyone know what happened?

Sec of State's site is inconclusive, too.
