just emailed olbermann

Mr. Olbermann,

Until I discovered your blog and show, I didn't realize there was balanced news in this country. Everyone knows the highlights of stories, and that is why I appreciate your style of reporting. You go beyond the story, which makes your show different.
I happened upon your post from democraticunderground.com, a liberal forum. Many of us believe that fraud has taken place in this election, and I was heartened to read that you are considering doing a segment on it. Hopefully if this story catches attention in the mainstream, the problem with either fraud or widespread machine problems will be fixed.
I'm sure you know that Nader, Cobb and Badnarik are all interested in working together to fight this problem but I wanted to provide you with a potentially useful graph that is really telling:



Thank you for taking the time to read this email, and I hope it was helpful.
Thank you for being one of the best reporters on TV.

Sincerely,

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

4. I just worry about his future at MSNBC

given that they're owned by GE. The good news--Countdown beat Paula Zahn's show (CNN) last month for the first time and he's been steadily climbing in the ratings. Countdown is a don't miss show for me.

9. That's good to know

I never miss Countdown. Keith Olbermann is the only one worth watching on MSRNC.

2. New Hampshire doesn't have electronic voting.

NH has a combination of optical scan machine counties and paper ballots/hand count counties. The ability to rig or hack any election has nothing to do with what kind of machines are used by the voters. The changes are made in the County central tabulating system. Paperless touch screen machines have no ability to recount a dubious vote. Optical scanners use paper ballots marked by the voter, which be recounted but almost never are.

6. Actually, hedda

optical scan are computerized /electronic too, just a different kind. Everything else you said is correct (of course).
