Up to 6 Dem Senators May Challenge Ohio Vote Tomorrow in Senate. |
From MSNBC, 1/5/05:

Challengers are go (Keith Olbermann)
Nothing is in writing and daybreak is a long way away, but it appeared
all but certain in early evening Wednesday that House Democrats had
secured the support of up to half a dozen Senators to formally
challenge the Electoral College slate from Ohio, when the votes are
opened before a joint session of Congress tomorrow.
Congressional sources tell this reporter that the house half of the
written objection -- which has the declared support of more than a
dozen Representatives -- is expected to be signed by Representative
Stephanie Tubbs Jones of Ohio.
Republican leadership expects the Senate signatory to be Barbara Boxer
of California, but this has not yet been formalized.
The Majority is also worried about the possible absence of many of its
members in both houses, and the prospect that a quorum might not be
achieved, leading the process into uncharted, albeit not very
threatening, constitutional grounds.
There is a mathematical, if not practical, chance that the
ratification of the Electoral College vote could be delayed past
tomorrow.
As it is, a written challenge would require the joint session to
suspend for several hours, during which the Senate and the House would
meet separately and debate the merits of the objection.
The ad hoc group formed by Representative John Conyers of Michigan has
also today published its staff report, concluding that before, during,
and after the election in Ohio, many state laws may have been broken,
in every area ranging from the allocation of voting machines, election
day "anomalies," and the recount.
It recommended a formal Congressional inquiry, and additional
legislation to reform voting laws.

Well, so much for that crack dream.
It's a done deal now.
Eagerly awaiting your next delusional justification for continuing this
death spiral.
I'm Loving this show, please keep it going.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
