RE: stanksgiving

yeah - it looks like a revote is prolly the only way...

but so long as there is some doubt, then if things start to happen (cf NH and ohio recounts, or the gao investigation or whatever) then there is the chance that it could take off... or we could get some sort of critical mass in street protests once there is a trigger of some sort. mebbe. or praps if the dec13 elec.college thingy is delayed, then peeps wont be able to help but notice and have a closer look.

it seems that there is a bunch of peeps who belatedly half-realised that 2000 was stolen - if theres a trigger of any kind, the bush-haters and the moveon'ers and the sorryeverybody'ers could conceivably mobilise pretty quickly.

"But, from all accounts, a complete hand recount (ohio) will happen, and happen within a week and a half. Wheeee!" (http://rottendenmark.blogspot.com/2004/11/recountohio.html) this sort of thing is gonna be increasingly difficult to hide under the carpet...
