""It becomes a snowball of hearsay," said Matthew Damschroder, the director of elections in Columbus, Ohio, where an electronic voting machine malfunctioned in one precinct and allotted some 4,000 votes to President Bush, kicking off its own flurry of Web speculation. That particular problem was unusual and remains unexplained, but it was caught and corrected, Mr. Damschroder said."


Well is that so?

And WHY was it caught and corrected? Because of DU. This error would of NEVER been reported had the DU members not examined the voting results and caught the error.

So the problem is simply "unusual and remains unexplained"? What kind of crap is that? Is this what passes for journalism today? Why isn't that being questioned and investigated? Computers don't just make unsual and unexplained errors like this. They react logically to programming. If the vote was off by 4,000, then something is amiss and it must be explained!


"Some from the traditional media have called for an explanation," he said, "but no one from these blogs has called and said, 'We want to know what really happened.' "

Are you kidding me? Not ONE DU member has asked for an explanation? I think it's time we acted. Mount a media campaign and flood the inboxes at The NY Times and at the Ohio election offices and DEMAND they have an independent investigation and get to the bottom of this.

"We know this was an emotional election, and the losing side is very upset," said Daniel Hoffheimer, the lead lawyer for the Kerry campaign in Ohio. But, he said, "I have not seen anything to indicate intentional fraud or tampering."

Are you serious? What do you call 4000 lost votes?

What about these other 250 plus incidents?
