16. What Boxer said

IN the voting booth, we are all equal.

QUESTIONS:
Why did voters in Ohio wait hours and hours and hours in the rain to vote?
Voters waited until 4 am to vote because there were only 2 machines.
College students needed 13 machines, had 2
Poor, black areas had less machines
Needed 5000 machines, only used ?
Machines held in warehouse
5,000-10,000 left without voting
How many more never bothered when they heard this?
Franklin County awarded extra votes to Bush
They fixed this, but what else did they get wrong?
Reduced number on machines downtown, increase in suburbs
Provisional ballots disqualified after poll workers gave voters wrong info.

[Oreo]

81. I think it's after all are counted

[sunnystarr]

78. Why isn't Cheney asking for any objections like Gore did in 2001?

I thought that was part of the process.

[rodeodance]

90. did Gore ask for objections after each one? I do not recall

[SammyWinstonJack]

133. I can't recall either and I was wondering that as well

:shrug: When does the objection happen?

[MoonRiver]

[mountainvue]

91. When do we object? n/t

[shiina]

After this I think...they have to ask if there are objections for each St.

[Pacifist Patriot]

objections after all of the certificates are opened and read.

[Ian David]

Keep an ear open for the "North" states!

[pgh_dem]

[Karenca]

98. every time i hear dick cheney from wyoming i

cringe...

[Coexist]

106. Woo hoo Kerry still ahead!!

103. Minnesota's Vote Count should be interesting! n/t

[kath]

104. It pisses me off when they say "Cheney from the state of Wyoming" - LIE! -

[Walt Starr]

[rodeodance]

128. tee hee goof up but Kerry Edwards did not contest it at the time

[Pirate Smile]

[rodeodance]

136. New Mex for Bush also, NC for Bush

[SPDBoston]

140. yes

I was just going to say that. The chambers are empty. Maybe 10% of the members there.

[Walt Starr]

144. They don't have a quorum!

Uh oh, this could now drag out an extra day!

[Pirate Smile]

I know they were worried about having a quorum today for if they have to

vote to accept the Ohio electors.

They being the Repubs.

[SharonRB]

134. Does it appear to anyone else that the chamber is awfully empty?

[SharonRB]

138. Oops -- didn't see the post just above mine!

[SharonRB]

183. How come no one else stood up with their objections?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

164. Will CSpan televise the required 2 hour debate?

They are obligated to split up and debate in both the house and senate? Interesting to see how they will televise both if they do. ????

[AllegroRondo]

172. Thats why we have CSPAN 1 and 2

[Coexist]

179. MSNBC is covering this live!!!

[rodeodance]

182. no, it is private discussion--each separatly

[k8conant]

233. Hardly n/t

[roenyc]

186. great glad i didnt rush out to thank hillary

[Karenca]

200. me too .........nt

[demo dutch]

171. INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! We did it!

[Pacifist Patriot]

174. Yeeeeehaaawwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could just spit nails that Florida didn't receive an objection....as well as a few other states. Grrrr....

[SaveAmerica]

175. It's done!!!!

I'M SHAKING!!!!!!!!

[Catchawave]

205. MSNBC just reported...

...objection was only signed by a rep...huh?

[nadinbrzezinski]

223. Talking points from the stenography Corps?

Or are they just shocked it happened

[caligirl]

177. objection being read now, but I love the word 'seems' used by the

Ohio repo when reading the Ohio ballot aloud. now retiring to debate independently. Constitutional scholar on cpsan now commenting.

[caligirl]

220. back to the speaker now

[emcguffie]

178. ain't it glorious --

that it's the ladies who make the day?

[chiffon]

180. JOHN CONYERS!!!

[nadinbrzezinski]

181. We just watched history folks, we just watched history

and dickie was NOT happy... regardless of the result... this now puts a big kibush on the legitimacy of Bush and Chenney...

In 1877 the Thyden Compromise led to the end of Reconstruction but Rutherford B Hayes was called his fraudelency for the next four years

[rodeodance]

196. Glorry Days---Springstein song (you all know)

[AllegroRondo]

221. "His Fraudulancy" - I like that

what a great time to bring back a classic title

[Patsy Stone]

235. It is so sweet. I feel honored. n/t

[Goldeneye]

184. we need 2 threads now.

one for senate, one for house

[merwin]

185. WTF? Did they say 'the well known great state of Ohio'?

[crispini]

187. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Only signed by S T-J and BOXER?

[Patsy Stone]

195. Only need two, baby! Don't get greedy. :)

Now we have the floor speeches...

[nickinSTL]

188. Tubbs-Jones and Boxer!

And no others...

Not sure how this is all supposed to work, though.

Will we get to see who agrees with the objection in each house?

[dooner]

190. Boxer & Tubbs only 2 to formally object

Cheney had to clear his throat before announcing adjornment to vote on validity of objection.. (was he feeling a little choked up?)

[Der Blaue Engel]

211. That's all they needed

I believe what happened in 2001 was that after the first objecter had no signing senator, another objecter stood. I don't think this means that no one else objected, just that no one else had to stand after the first was joined by a senator.

[Der Blaue Engel]

191. OMG...I'm SOBBING

I LOVE MY SENATOR BOXER SO MUCH!!!!!

This is the most beautiful political moment I have ever witnessed.

[Karenca]

214. cspan 2...pelosi now...When do they come back with the results?

eom

[tx_dem41]

192. The "scholar" from the AEI, seems to be all choked up..

I wonder why? ;-)

[nadinbrzezinski]

212. Because nobodey wasa expecting this

outside of DU...

This has put a kibush on the First PRince Legitimacy... and no way to get around that

[tx_dem41]

231. Ummm...you haven't been watching C-SPAN this morning...

the objection has been reported for awhile now.

[uppityperson]

193. wooohooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[quiet.american]

194. That was SWEET! n/t

[emcguffie]

219. It is righteous that it is the ladies who are making the day!

This is kind of a dupe, but I don't see my other one.

[quiet.american]

297. That's alright -- can't be said enough! n/t

[Occulus]

197. Some AEI hack talking on CSPAN right now

Had a little something in your throat there, huh, pal? Yeah. Thought so.

Walter Berns. Who is this guy? He isn't talking about what's actually going on; he's just deriding it.

[ElectroPrincess]

210. Yes, AEI is not unbiased, they have some of the most intelligent

propagandists who speak only in support of the Bush Administration. The forgoing is their ONLY function in life.

[Pirate Smile]

198. On MSNBC, they said the sessions in the House and Senate will be in

private. Is that true? I thought we would get to watch.

[pgh_dem]

199. Holy crap!

Why the hell does C-Span have a commentator from the friggin American Enterprise Institute!!!?!?!
Why not just have that asshead Scott McClellan respond?

[rodeodance]

208. yeah, pretty sad old geezer at that!!!!

[Blue Christmas]

201. someone get walter berns a decongestant!

c-span's crusty constitutional scholar sounds a little too phlegmy at present...

[consciousobjector]

202. It's happened!

Boxer objected to Ohio...and Cheney is choking!

[Cheswick2.0]

203. Which to watch.... house or senate..........

damn, I don't know what to watch and I have to do it on the computer.

Senate will be on cspan 2

[Viva_La_Revolution]

213. I'll start a Senate Thread, you start a Rep thread....

You can read one and watch the other... Deal?

[Patsy Stone]

206. So is there a quorum?? I'm plotzing. n/t

[Jersey Devil]

207. Where in the world did Cspan's "expert" come from?

He looks and sounds like he was embalmed.

[rodeodance]

216. now now--

[Vidar]

237. He apparently covered the 1876 debate live, a real zombie.

[demo dutch]

209. What to watch now! Cspan 1 or 2 House or Senate??????

[Coexist]

222. I'm not getting the Senate?

Ahhh - Tubb-Jones on 1 and Senate on 2... what to do....

[caligirl]

[rodeodance]

[rodeodance]

232. was the objection covered live on cabel (I was watching c-span)

[Coexist]

236. Yes - on MSNBC

[Ian David]

239. Hey, fox has live Tsunami coverage!

I'm trying to watch C-SPAN 1 on TV and 2 on streaming.

Which one is better?

[Ian David]

242. Oh, Rep. Pryce from Ohio calls us "certain extreme elements"

Fuck her.

Their intention is to undermine public confidence in the electoral process itself.

Party policy to disrupt and destroy,

[HR_Pufnstuf]

[HR_Pufnstuf]

248. To deborah pryce

[rodeodance]

249. Scotty M.--Not a time to engage in conspiracy theores-time to move

[Verve]

[tinfoilinfor2005]

246. He certainly is DeWhining!!!

But wasn't that a pretty orange top Sen. Boxer was wearing?

[demo dutch]

247. Vote that dog (Pryce) out of office. She didn't get it!!! at all!!!

[Danocrat]

259. Believe me, I've tried

[demo dutch]

251. PS You knew that it was going to happen!!!!

[proud2BlibKansan]

253. Which channel are you guys watching?

CSPAN 1 or CSPAN 2?

One of them is showing the House debate, the other the Senate. Which one should I watch?

[babylonsister]

[Ian David]

"We, a House member and a Senator...
Thursday 06 January 2005 @ 01:23
...object."

Signed, Boxer and Tubbs-Jones.

The Houses withdraw for debate. The Senate retires.

Hot damn.
Here we go...
Thursday 06 January 2005 @ 01:22
Tubbs-Jones objects to the electoral votes for Ohio.

"I do have a Senator."

Boom.

----

Who needs TV?

[EuroObserver]

265. ...More

Worth a couple of hours
Thursday 06 January 2005 @ 01:36
"I think it is worth a couple of hours to discuss these issues."

She gave a good speech.
Boxer speaking in the Senate
Thursday 06 January 2005 @ 01:34
We now fight for electoral justice. Everyone's vote must matter and be counted. Their votre must have as much weight as any Senator, House member, President, CEO.

"In the voting booth, everyone is equal."

"We must ask certain questions."

Why did voters have to wait in line for hours to vote because there were only two machines?

Why did voters in poor and African-American districts not have enough machines?

Why were machines held back from use in these communities?

Why did thousands leave polling places out of frustration, or because they ran out of time?

Boxer's voice is raw.

The gavel comes down again in the House
Thursday 06 January 2005 @ 01:31
The Senate has not yet gotten together.

Tubbs-Jones stands forth.

"I thank God I have a Senator joining me...joining thousands of Ohio voters denied the right to vote."

Objecting to the electors is the only immediate avenue for raising these issues.

[EuroObserver]

BBC World Service shortwave radio at 13:45 EST:

Identical. Nothing new.

The castration of the BBC by B.Liar & Co., using the apparent murder of Dr. David Kelly as an excuse, is a catastrophe.

Total news blackout on this story.

[Silver Gaia]

261. WooHoo!

I've been too busy running from the TV in the living room to the TV in the bedroom to have time to post til now! I started crying as soon as I heard Boxer was on board this morning.

We don't have popcorn :D , but we did pop the cork on the bottle of champagne we STILL had in the refigerator... the one we were too depressed to drink until today! Who cares if it's just 10:40am here in California! LOL

CHEERS!

[Ian David]

266. Is this important?

The senate was just told there are no other majority (repug?) members available to speak, and if they don't show within 5 minutes, they lose the right to speak.

[Verve]

270. Does that mean the Dems get the whole 2 hours? They should insist on it!

[Ian David]

273. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.)

I don't know what happened, but I'll certify the vote.

[AmyJCNJ]

268. Bernie Sanders...

DUDE, you rule!!!

[HR_Pufnstuf]

269. Bernie Sanders - VT

"No American should wait 4 hours to vote"

"Need paper trail in case of recount"

"All voters treated with respect and dignity"

not exact, but close.

[Verve]

271. After him, Roy Blunt MO REPUG. Why does he have the Trent Lott Hairdo? n/

[SPDBoston]

275. Well

Sanders also said Bush won Ohio and that wasn't in doubt.

this is being spun as an election reform battle for 2008 more then what happened this year.

[Ian David]

276. Keller from florida just slammed MoveOn and Michael Moore

[demo dutch]

274. It this just going to be a lot BS, or will they really do something!

The repugs are treating this as a coup d'etat!

[azndndude]

277. Tell like it is Rep. Watt!!!

[Coexist]

278. Kennedy is supporting us!

[desertalien]

280. It isn't about winning the electon.

Why are the Repugs so desperate to make it about that. They must be afraid.

[Ian David]

279. You vote with the machines you have, not the machines you should have

[klook]

286. But sir, we have to rummage through trash piles

to get components for our BBV machines!

[Ian David]

281. Teddy Kennedy is on CSPAN2 right now

[Ian David]

283. Sen. Laughtenberg (d-nj) on cspan 2. Pelosi on cspan1

[Ian David]

285. Laughtenberg will introduce federal election act of somekind

[Ian David]

287. Rep. Hayworth (R-Arizona)

The will of the people must be obeyed, which means the loser must concede.

THE ISSUE IS: WAS THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE ACTUALLY DETERMINED!

[Coexist]

288. Kucinich,, Obama... who to watch n/t

[Ian David]

289. Kucinich on CSPAN1, Obama on CSPAN2

295. ONLY ONE senator VOTED YES!!!!

WTF!?!?!?!?!

[AmyJCNJ]

292. I have a headache

I don't know if I can take much more of this.

[Verve]

293. Agree! Instead of biting my nails, I ate a whole bag of Twizzlers.
