Ukraine to Ohio to Washington II (UPDATED)

Geov Parrish, in the Seattle Weekly, makes the point that "In Ukraine, they know how to respond to a rigged election," in his article "Winning in the Streets." The Columbus Free Press has, "American democracy hangs by a thread in Ohio." Setting the stage for a Congressional review of the presidential election: "Vermonters urge Jeffords to challenge Electoral College results." I'm more impressed that Conyers is on Bloggerman's tv show, "Countdown" today, than his celebration of today's NY Times story on Ohio. Kos has another "Ohio Update" this afternoon. Update: "Election tampering now alleged in Ohio by Cobb, Badnarik, Kerry-Edwards lawyers," according to this article in Raw Story that features a copy of the actual civil suit. "Theft of the Election, Redux," takes us back down memory lane to tell us "Why 2000 was Prelude to 2004 -- and the Democratic Party Got Mugged a Second Time." It comes to us via BuzzFlash from the Vanity Fair magazine. The Boston Globe has, "Ohio recount resembles Florida in 2000." Update: "The top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee asked the FBI on Wednesday to investigate an Ohio election worker's concern that a software company employee could have tampered with election results when working on machines before a ballot recount."-from the AP story tonight, "Congressman Calls For FBI Investigation Into Ohio Election."
