1. They need the Bat!

It always worked for Dean.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

2. So...

Email Dean. Ask to borrow the Bat.

Remember: Dean may own the bat, but we bought the bat. We, the people.

[liberalnurse]

3. I sense he supports this plan....

He may be in the inside now....probably holding out for the DNC Chair, thus abstaining from comment..... Again, I sense they are doing more than we know.....

[txindy]

9. Bat? What bat?

:shrug: Sorry.

[Chimpanzee]

4. I just sent another 50$

I think I'll open a savings account and direct deposit $10/paycheck so I am prepared to donate money in 4 years in a more painless manner. I think alot of people could/should do this. It will hardly be missed by most of you, and in 4 years DU'ers will have one hell of a war chest!

7. What about the Heinz money

does anyone have links/addies to the Heinz charitable foundations? we should start addressing them.

23. Don't think that would be a good idea

Having Kerry's wife give money to recount Ohio for Cobb? I bet Rove would love to get a hold of that one.

10. Great thought, Chimp! Good Work by You!

5. the fact that the Kerry Campaign

is not contributing a dime to this MAKES ME SICK.

[RoeBear]

6. It should....

...make you think.

8. $110,000 for Ohio

What is happening to the $45,000,000 contributed to the Kerry campaign for lawyers fees in the case of recounts?

11. The Kerry Camp Post Election Fund

is using there money to get to the bottom of this election. Many Kerry attorneys in place. They said they would get all the votes counted and that's what they are doing. Have faith. They aren't giving up.

12. they absolutely need the bat or the pot leaf or something

that shows how much theyve collected so far.

i cant find it there. how do we know what it is up to?

[Jersey Devil]

16. Provisional-ballot count begins

HI Although I have been reading DU for some time I am new to DU forum

Just wanted to add this news article

Provisional-ballot count begins
Elections boards around Ohio may begin counting provisional ballots as early as today as they prepare to verify their official results from the Nov. 2 election.

After receiving the last overseas absentee ballots Friday night, local election officials must begin the tedious business of scouring every precinct for every ballot and making sure the number of voters who signed in at the polls matches the number of votes.

By Friday afternoon, fewer than 6,000 of the nearly 25,000 provisional ballots in Cuyahoga County had been reviewed, elections director Michael Vu said. So far, about two-thirds of those votes have been deemed legitimate, but those numbers could change

30. Recount?

What exactly would a recount do? I thought the problem was the lack of a paper trail.

[ZRB]

31. If the optical scanners were rigged

then a manual recount would make up for that.
