I know we really need to get about the business of moving on, but...
One Ohio County is going ahead with a recount this evening, for their own reasons.
Meanwhile, Cobb and Badnarik are combining forces in the demand for a recount. Memo to Ralph Nader: This is the kind of thing that could help win the hearts of Democrats... David Shuster reports on how much more straightforward this kind of thing is in Ohio, as opposed to Florida. Chris Matthews is getting on the story, finally, on Friday.
And on the Randi Rhodes show this afternoon, blackboxvoting.org leader Bev Harris reported that her scheduled appearance on the Olbermann show (the only news man pursuing this story on the air so far) was cancelled each of the last 2 nights when she refused to back down from using the F word ("fraud").
[UPDATE] Ok, there's more. I am still a skeptic, honest, but this is a fairly convincing read, a statistician's report (pdf) on the exit poll-final result discrepancies. Basically we're left with a hypothesis that Kerry voters were more likely to respond to exit pollsters...becuase they're more likely to be single and have time for the 30-page questionnaire? Because they were more likely to be fired up/proud of their vote? I can buy those, but it would be nice if they would release all the raw data to see what the deal is.
