Tubbs Jones, Dem- OH
"This objection does not have at its roots the hope or even the hint of overturning the victory of the president...I raise this objection because I am convinced that we as a body must conduct a formal and legitimate debate about the election irregularities."
Barbra Boxer, Dem-CA
"I hate inconveniencing my friends, but I think it's worth a couple of hours to shine some light on these issues," Boxer said during the Senate's debate. "Our people are dying all over the world, a lot from my state, for what reason? To bring democracy to the far corners of the world. Let's fix it here, and let's do it first thing."
Hmmmm... looks full of attempts to make Kerry the president, doesn't it?
Or
Maybe they want to audit the system to make sure democracy works properly. How is this a bad idea? Please... anyone why is it bad to make sure everyone gets an equal voice in our country... Beuller?...Beuller? Or are you afraid that you might see something you may not like?

I have no problems in trying to make sure that the process has a few problems and glitches as possible, but when you have Dems (Maxine Waters) who say that she is "ashamed" that the Secretary of State in Ohio is an African American man, because he "broke election law", but she does not say that her "case" went to court TWICE and lost both times, thus vindicating Ohio's Sec. of State. Were there problems, OF COURSE, it's a system run by human beings, thus very fallable! We are going to have problems in anything built by man, but when people say that they were "disenfranchised" because they were ASKED TO SHOW AN ID (something I've had to do in all three Presidential elections I've voted in), it tries to place blame on the GOP for something that is FEDERAL LAW ANYWAY!
I get the impression that people who say it's important for every voice to be heard, every vote counted, etc only mean it if their side benefits. In a country this divided, who can blame them? While I really am confused as to why someone would vote for Bush, he won more votes... that's the country I live in, and that's the end of it. I don't need for this thing to drag on unless there really is a reason to be suspicious of fraud. I think we're spoiled in the immediateness of everything. I wouldn't mind waiting a few days for an election's result, or even weeks to ensure voting accuracy.
I just think it should all be reviewed... states where Bush won, states where Kerry won. Lets just make sure that it is working properly so even the little kinks can be worked out. A business usually audits itself once a year after each fiscal end. A football coach does a post game after each game. The electoral process should also (well, every 4 that is).
