I AM SO SCARED! My heart is in my throat watching this.
I'm listening to the hearings and watching c-span at the same time, and checking this board every minute hoping and praying someone stops this vote.

What if nothing happens!!!

6. Electors Can be Changed Until Jan 6
all that's needed is evidence of fraud and a party that fights.

All I'm concerned about is that the proven irregularities won't affect enough votes to swing the election. Even if the unproven ones do.

10. If There's Evidence of Massive Fraud
the ground could change very quickly. That would be the only thing that would do it.

2. Nothing was EVER going to happen.
The suit needs to be considered and will effect what slate of electors gets sent to congress. That's my take anyway.

19. Here's my take....
And I could be all wet here since I have no legal credntials. I'm just trying to satisfy my own mind. Until the actual crime is committed there is no crime. IOW the electoral process being done today is based on alleged fraud or criminal activity according to those who are filing lawsuits. The SOS of Ohio is proceeding without the assurance of a complete and accurate vote in Ohio. :shrug:

3. We may have to take to the streets.
If we have concrete evidence of fraud and nothing is done about it, we must go into Ukraine mode.

5. it is ok
they are probably not ging to stop the vote.

Back when Kennedy and nixon were running against each other. Nixon won hawaii initially,it was certified out into the envelope and everything. Then after the recount they realised Kennedy won. Although it was challenging they were able to do it before they opened them in january. People were talking about this last week any one remember the link?

11. A Dark Dark Day
Are we watching the Death of Democracy occur before our eyes?

Sign away our futures you spineless excuses for humanity.

Nazis thought they were doing the right thing too.

17. Democracy died
For the record. Democracy died 12/12/2000 and I was in the street in front of my congressman's office screaming at freepers. Today is just a little more dirt on the grave.

13. Uhhh, nothing out of the ordinary is expected. Like a couple of others
on this thread have said, this is going by the books. It's the lawsuit that is important, not this thing.

15. If fraud is proven and Bush is still in office
he will be worthless for four years. We will have least won that. Hopefully no one will go along with all of his fascism and the press will once again be on our side. It's a nice thought at least.

16. My hope is there is enough done to get the Demos to object in mass
on Jan 6th. if need be.

Then the house probably gives it to bush even if there are major recount discrepancies discovered but not without the smell of Ohio sticking to George and his minions. And as the lawsuits work their way through and new revelations come out, the stink gets bigger and badder, until everyone smells it.
