Is everyone focusing on OH and FL, but ignoring other close states?
What if the discrepancies in FL and OH are a bait and switch tactic?

Before the election, everyone predicted that either OH or FL would be "the next Florida," so they must have known public scrutiny would be intense after a close election. You would think they would have been extra-cautious to avoid computer problems. Yet the opposite seems to be true, they seem to have learned nothing from the 2000 and 2002 elections.

But if we assume tampering--especially with the outrageous over-votes in OH--then why not assume they want us to keep all eyes focused on OH and FL, programming "glitches" that will be attributed to faulty chips or power surges. Meanwhile, while everyone watches elsewhere, votes are siphoned off, just a few dozen at a time throughout a state, at the ward and district levels. If enough time lapses, deadlines to file legal challenges might expire.

Granted, I'm feeling particularly paranoid today. But I do wonder what's happening in states other than OH and FL. Any recounts being called in NM, IA, CO, NV?
