6. 3rd caller says "it smells funny"
when more than 100% percent of voters show up.

In the Ukraine, it was investigated when 96% show up.

Surely, it should raise eyebrows when over 100% show up.

17. All circuits are busy now! If someone gets through could you tell them
that some of the GOP speakers were lying? It is NOT true that Moss v. Bush charges that Bush or Rove or Cheney was on a laptop at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue changes vtoe tallies. It says "agents of" -- which I think is legal-speak for anyone acting illegally in a way that would benefit them. It is also COMPLETE bullshit that there is no evidence of fraud in 2000 or 2004 -- where the F*** does Delay get off?

Conspiracy theories, wild notions.

The results speak for themselves.

Bush won with 60m votes, Kerry had 56m votes.

(But that was the question, wasn't it - idiot.)

The challenge is without merit - because it wouldn't have changed the election. Sets a bad precedent.

ES&S and Diebold are owned by Repubs.

We need an honest counting of the votes - probably going to a manual system.

a milestone

2nd rigged election

we sent your producers plenty of evidence about the Diebold and ES&S machines

there was all kinds of fraud from a to z

the exit poll discrepancy was much worse than that of the ukraine

what you have now is a one-party system

we are definitely in for a hard time

52. 19th caller
just called an official in her state - who's repub, and so is she

why can't we in this country have a level playing field

why can't we have reform where when we vote for president, why can't there be a machine with a paper receipt and a paper trail, so i won't have to argue with my liberal relatives whether it was a legit election

our democracy is at stake, whether you're a republican or a democrat

last call - break to black caucus now!

56. at least two repub callers supported investigation, paper trail
they also want to make sure that when their guy wins, it looks legit.

interesting point - this shows the bipartisan aspect to this.

"Don't you Repubs want to make sure your 'victory' is legitimate?"

62. It's encouraging to see Repubs
who are concerned about the fairness of elections and upholding
American's voting rights. That's what it's going to take too.
The good people, regardless of party, to sweep out all our Houses
of the riff raff!

I can't believe Tom DeLay would use the word "criminal" about anything
other than himself! Hypocrite!

But I do think there are a lot of Republican folks that believe that
fraud occurred on 11/2/04. This is a good start to putting back together
what the "Great United" has divided. We are all still Americans. I
really think the 'Sleeping Masses' will wake up. Too bad we have to all
get smacked around though until they do!
