And an excerpt:

Doubts Persist About Election Results

43 minutes ago Politics - AP 12/10/2004


By RACHEL KONRAD, Associated Press Writer

As the Electoral College (news - web sites) prepares to certify President Bush (news - web sites)'s re-election on Monday, concerns persist about the integrity of the nation's voting system — particularly in Ohio, where details continue to emerge of technology failures, voter confusion and overcrowded polling stations in minority and poor neighborhoods.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All Election Coverage


Few mainstream politicians dispute Bush's victory, and the incumbent's 3.5 million-vote margin nationwide was wider than any of the reported problems, which included insufficient or incomplete provisional ballots and, in some places, brazen partisan shenanigans.


But that is not stopping a disparate assortment of personalities — prominent among them Democratic congressman John Conyers Jr. of Michigan, the Rev. Jesse Jackson (news - web sites) and presidential candidates of the Green and Libertarian parties — from questioning the accuracy of certified results and demanding investigations.

2. Vote it up people!
"and, in some places, brazen partisan shenanigans."

"If the Democratic leadership doesn't step up, why do they think that the activists on the ground — the people who collected millions of dollars, made phone calls and registered people to vote — would do it again in 2008?" said Don Goldmacher of the Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club of Oakland, Calif.

Thank you. We need to remind them, at times, that we are a major source of their income. We have the money, manpower, and the voice of millions.

3. is AP responding criticism that it is biased towards the GOP?
The tone of this piece is different from the one described in the post on Thursday.
