Jesse Jackson Calls Columbus Rally To Protest Election
(AP) COLUMBUS, OHIO -- The Rev. Jesse Jackson said he plans a Sunday rally in Columbus with ministers from around Ohio to call for an investigation of election irregularities in the state.

Jackson and his Rainbow/PUSH Coalition civil rights group want to call attention to the fact that votes in Ohio are still undergoing the official count, he said Thursday. Jackson is also questioning whether fraud could have occured in counties that use electronic machines without paper records of ballots.

3. May many, many, many more voices be heard
and their votes counted! Signs of life that in 2004 disenfranchisement will not be a regular state of being for the US!
