Reply #18: Most of the American public are not aware of what happened yesterday [View All]

any more than they were aware of what happened on Jan 6 2000. There will be no national debate. There will be no focus on voting rights by the media. Perhaps there might have been if every Democrat in the Senate and the House had stood up, bringing the focus on the voting rights. They should have done this, not because they thought Kerry won in Ohio, but because they had no way to know whether he did or not, without an investigation into the voting conditions that existed in Ohio. We could have had headlines, and we could have called yesterday a success if they had put their butts where their words were!!!

What the Democrats SUCCEEDED in doing today was bringing voting rights issues to the front of the national debate. And they also did something that has only happened twice since 1876
