Investigate the Vote: Kerry on the Case

What happens to conspiracy theory when there may be an actual conspiracy? You have to start taking each theory separately and seriously. Here's a very interesting theory as to why the assault on Fallujah began just after the election. Not to keep casualities off the news on election day (keeping casualities off the news has never been a problem for the Bushies) but to forestall questioning of election results as unpatriotic when Americans were going into battle. Well, maybe. But apart from the theory there is the welcome evidence that the Kerry people are aggressively investigating the vote steal in Ohio.

Inside The Election Fraud Battle - Think Kerry Is Not Involved In This Fight?

Rumors are also floating that a number of lawsuits will be filed in Ohio on Monday, and claims are being made of dramatic news to come from them. The mainstream press does seem to be paying a tiny bit more attention to the story. Clearly the effort must achieve results and a high profile before early January when Congress makes the election results official.

Right now it seems certain that when the time comes, black members of the House will object to Bush's legitimacy, as they did in 2000 (actually 2001.) But then they lacked even a single Senator to also object, which they needed to be effective (as we all saw---most of us for the first time---in Michael Moore's F 9/11.) There has to be enough evidence and enough outrage to inspire a Senator to take the political risk. Of course the highest possible drama would be if that were to be Senator John Kerry. But if this all gets that far that fast, there will be more than one Senator speaking out.
