After All The Investigation Into Voter Fraud, What Happens Next?

[Hutzpa]

I see everyone on Du getting excited about NH, but what about Florida, Ohio and other States, what happens when they found out that there has been voter fraud, would they call for re-election, what would the powers that be say.

Or would they say, well Kerry has conceded anyway, so there is no point, if all this is not in vain, I'm all for it, if its another ploy by the right to send us somewhere else then we should just forget it and regroup, start building. It is very important that they don't make us look stupid, or more importantly make Kerry looks stupid.

1. I think that's why it's good that Kerry is staying out of it.

2. There is a point whether or not it's in vain.

We are Democrats. Democracy means fair elections, let everyone who has a right to vote, vote; count the votes fairly; don't f*** with the totals. I can imagine a scenario where there is absolute proof that the election was stolen and * gets to stay in along with all the other so-called 'elected' officials. The point is that the truth is paramount here and can be used as THE building block for all of our future efforts. This is a vital effort and I support it 100%.

Corporate America controls the media and we get manufactured news.
Corporate America now controls the voting machines and we get manufactured elections.

3. as far as I know the request to recount in NH

was denied (at least as of yesterday).. I may be wrong but I think in terms of NH for the moment nothing is happening....

4. The concession speech means nothing when fraud is found.

I do believe that they are hoping to find fraud in NH and use that as a springboard to go into OHIO, FL. and any other state where the vote totals are suspect.

The computer card in the central tabulator can be removed and put in a "clean" (one that hasn't been programmed to steal votes) computer and find the ACTUAL votes cast. I don't know if a revote would be called or if they would just believe the results of the new tabulator. :shrug: No clue.

5. Kerry's not gong to fight, so the next step is Bush for 4 more years.

There is little hope that it will turn in Kerry's favor.

Even if it might begin to show that Kerry could reverse the current count, he's already given up. They've dismantled the machinery of the campaign and there's nothing left to build upon.

Kerry, for whatever reasons,announced his concession speach less than 12 hours after all the polls closed. That speaks volumes for his thoughts and the campaign's views that nothing was to be done.

Done. That's what we are as party now, done.

Welcome to four years of Hell.

7. The NH recount is close to certain.

Not quite, but very, very close. Ohio, Florida and other states are coming. NH simply had the first deadline and the biggest variance between the exit polling and the reported results. Hang in there, please. This is an effort that has been initiated and facilitated by DUers, for heavens sake, and we're moving heaven and earth. Go kwitcher whining, for heavens sake, and go help with the research.
