I'd like some answers, too. From VRWC data, I was expecting a margin of 250,000+ in Ohio for Bush. What I want to know is where our voter suppression & fraud went wrong and what we can do better next time. Someone get Diebold on the phone...

The loonie left has been pushing for C-span to cover this
From what I understand Conyers will be calling for a federal investigation/hearing on Ohio
Rep. Conyers opening statement 'It doesn't matter if the results were certified..Im here to begin this journey preserving democracy'
Check out what the dems are up to now
Nadler is reading his statement so fast I can't make out what he is saying..
"If we put our heads in the sand it will be a real service to the nation.." Sounds like the immigration and economy being discussed by both sides.
When these idiots are stalwarts in the party you're in trouble. If they'd get over the election it might be funny. In this they're just in denial and they way of making themselves feel good is to convince everyone there was fraud involved in the balloting. Well, IMO, I believe if you look at it you may find the Rats were behind more fraud than the Republicans. Just find out how many dead voters there were. That'll give you a good idea of how deep in the fraud the Rats were.
What the heck do they think they will accomplish with this BS

Please Join us in a Forum on Ohio Voting Irregularities

Dear Colleague:
Please join us in holding a forum on election irregularities in Ohio, the pivotal state in the 2004 presidential election. The forum will include leading advocates, election experts and investigators who have reviewed the myriad of election day and recount problems in Ohio, as well as numerous individuals who experienced problems and outright disenfranchisement on election day.
The forum will be held on Wednesday, December 8, at 10:00 am in 2237 Rayburn House Office Building. Participants will include the following:
Rev. Jesse Jackson, Founder Rainbow Push Coalition
Ralph Neas, President, People For the American Way
Jon Greenbaum, Director, Voting Rights Project, Lawyers Committee For Civil Rights Under Law
Ellie Smeal, Executive Director, The Feminist Majority
Prof. Robert Fitrakis, Editor, The Free Press
Cliff Arnebeck, Arnebeck Associates
John Bonifaz, General Counsel, National Voting Institute
Steve Rosenfeld, Senior Producer, Air America Radio
Shawnta Walcott, Communications Director, Zogby International
In addition, we have invited Kenneth Blackwell, Ohio Secretary of State, and Warren Mitofsky of Mitofsky International, the Coordinator of the National Exit Poll to participate in the forum.
This will be an important event that will help the Members and public understand the continuing controversies surrounding the Ohio vote and recount process and consider remedies for addressing these issues in the future.
If you would like to participate, or if you have any questions concerning the forum, please contact Michone Johnson (x56906) of the House Judiciary Democratic Staff. Staff is welcome to attend the forum as well.
Sincerely,

This democratic panel has had it's head in the sand for the last 30-40 years!

This sham event is not a "hearing", it is a forum. This is not an official function of any committee.
Mel Watt of North Carolina now talking about Donkeys in Afghanistan..
I think somebody smacks John Conyers in the head with a 2x4 each morning to start his day.
Jesse is a rolling stone - where ever he lays his hat is his home.
And when he dies - all he'll leave us is a loan.
Btw - I guess Zogby has pretty much decided to get out of the polling business. After he testifies today that he still thinks Kerry won he should just about lose any legitimate polling business he has.
Shelia Jackson Lee! 'It is not a question of who won or lost...' really?
