Lord knows I don't want to dwell on this election for long, but I stumbled across an insightful piece (RealAudio, 15 min.) on NPR's This American Life that does a nice job encapsulating some of the most egregious voter suppression efforts that have so far been uncovered, the vast majority of them by the GOP or other right-wing groups.

Although he encourages debate and, in general, the open expression of ideas, he is THE KNOWER AND DECIDER OF ALL THINGS. The Decider is generous and has little interest in keeping complete world knowledge to himself; therefore, you will find answers to life's puzzling puzzles here. He lives comfortably in Columbia, Maryland with his wife, child, labrador retriever, and many books of knowledge.

Carl,
Great clip! Can you imagine the noise republicans would be making if these charges had been reversed?
Here's the AP story about Jeb Bush ignoring advice to 'pull the plug' on the voter database (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=172929). Notice it was released on October 17th, weeks before the election.

Read "Evidence Mounts That The Vote May Have Been Hacked" by Thom Hartmann at http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/1106-30.htm
Also, read this article that has been circulating by email today about discarded votes:

Keith Olbermann of MSNBC is asking questions about the election results. His guest last night was one of the congressmen who wrote to the GAO for an investigation into voting irregularities.
The article does a nice job of trying to separate valid questions from those that are easy to dismiss:
