Boxer Has Signed the Challenge!
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20050106/ap_on_go_co/electoral_vote

"Sen. Barbara Boxer (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., signed a challenge mounted by House Democrats to Ohio's 20 electoral votes, which put Bush over the top. By law, a challenge signed by members of the House and Senate requires both chambers to meet separately for up to two hours to consider it. Lawmakers are allowed to speak for no more than five minutes each."

OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. I look forward to seeing those meetings, but the odds of getting the GOPer
folk to help overturn Ohio is minimal.

12. Sadly No
All it does is make them have to discuss it, they'll discuss it, table it, accept the votes, and be done with it.

Doubt it gets much media play at all.

17. NO seats are safe until we get rid of the election-stealing machines
Sad but true. Look at Daschle.

22. Unless a lot more senators jump on her bandwagon
it's just a small symbolic move by a gutsy lady who's doing what she knows is right.

All the Dem senators are always pleading for us to get out and vote. Well now it's their turn. If they really want to make a difference, each and every Democratic senator should stand up and be noticed. Make a real statement. Set an example.

23. Color me shocked!
I have predicted many times nobody would do it. I hereby retract all such statements and hope that others follow. Go Barbara Boxer, the Senator with more balls than John Kerry!
