Additionally, I'm thinking that when one is accused of something in a court of law, one does have to make an effort to prove against the charges, despite where the burden of proof exists.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<,

In a court of law you are not required to OPEN YOUR MOUTH AT ALL. In fact in the 5th Amendment you have the absolute right to not present any evidence the burden of proof falls totally on the prosecution.

We don't even have a prima facia case here. If we did, someone would be in court and would have this count stopped for reasons of fraud. All we have are some statistical anomallies, a bunch of generalized stories of voter suppression, and wishfull thinking.

I'm not telling you to get over it, invistigate until the cows come home if you want to, but the real work is in fixing the two things that are really wrong: One, we do need an audit trail for these machines, not having one just invites fraud. Two, and most important, we need to decide who we are as Democrats and run a consistant campaign on that.

If we sit around the next two years pissing and moaning about how this election was stolen and how we can't ever win because the big corporations own the machines, we will never get anything done.

Let's do something productive:

1. * is going to be President.
2. The papertrail needs to be fixed.
3. Elect a DNC chair that will put us on point so we can start winning elections.
