2. Aaron Brown's newsnight at 10PM
On Cnn will also have a report. I'm not sure what he will say, but the CNN website says the topic will be covered on his show.

Are they also covering it right now?

3. NewSpeak:
CONSPIRACY THEORY = Any dissent or contrary perspective deemed by political leaders to be pathological or erroneous even if based on reasonable facts.

8. If CNN wants to fight against mathematics...

...then they're digging their own grave.

We should record their futile debunking attempts for future generations.

As Voting Machines Are Checked, Spano's Lead Shrinks
<snip>
"As the recount progressed on Monday, election workers, closely watched by representatives of the campaigns, compared vote totals recorded on machines with the tallies reported by poll workers on Election Night.

Jonathan Rosen, director of the state Democrats' campaign committee, said Berger told him that nearly every machine had a higher count for Stewart-Cousins than was recorded. However, Spano also gained votes, including 80 from one machine, Rosen said."

That sounds like human error, rather than machine error.

11. It probably is, looks like it will be good.
But FOX had a guy comparing this to JFK?? Then this lady, while laughing, was talking about how their not even based on facts but polls, but thankfully Brit Hume said, "well aren't the polls usually right?" and she pretty much shut up. I still couldn't believe the guy was talking about JFK? It's not like any of this stuff is far fetched. Most of it seems to follow a pattern that is pretty obvuous, machines w/no trail!

7. Be Not Afraid... as Oscar Wilde said
.. the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.

15. Judy Woodruff is placated
She's happy that these are isolated, unrelated "glitches."

16. Did she say??
Did she say what State news reports are saying when this kind of thing comes out in the states?? Thank Goodness this did not affect the Presidential results?? Cause you know these mistakes and computer glitches could only have been in state and local races . I am so sick of the Media Kiss Bush A** mentality.
