2. said the voting questions keep on coming, had the congressman
who wrote the letter to GAO on

KO listed all the "dem" counties in FL who went heavy repub that all used Diebold optical scanners and the Ohio county board who locked out the reporters due to "homeland security" concerns

that's the nutshell

5. a transcript will come up in the morning, but here's a summary
talked first about OH and the county (Warren?) that locked down and wouldn't let anyone witness the count. Talked to a reporter from there.

Then went on to talk about some other glitches in OH, but the staggering part of the story was FL. He detailed all the counties that had high Dem registration but voted for Bush and Keith SAID that all the counties that didn't go with their registration (for example, 80% registered Democrats but went for Bush) were all on the optical scan machines from Diebold and the other company. Keith said that all the counties that did not use these machines followed the registration (Dem counties went for Kerry and vice versa). Staggering evidence.

Then he talked to a Congressman about the letter that went to the GAO today.

He then talked about how Nader tried to get a recount in NH today but was turned down from NH b/c he didn't include a check.

9. 29 FL counties with Diebold opti-scan showed these 'flips', he said
That business about Nader not including a check with his request for recount was something we heard late Friday night. Nader filed through his FAX machine and got the request in with a minute to spare (?) but the payment part of the FAX got jammed in the machine and didn't get through on time.

Wasn't there mention of a precedent in NH where this happened to another politician and they accepted the request?

Anyway, I don't think the NH recount is dead in the water.

10. What's the deal with that check?
Does Nader need money?

7. He did a 15-minute segment
and highlighted all the voting problem reports in Florida and Ohio.

Plus, he had Congressman Conyers on.

Here are links I saved. He addressed the basic facts in all of these stories. Unfortunately, I don't have the Florida stories, but Will Pitt addresses those discrepancies in a Truth Out article in the other GD forum.
