116. Recount? OK. But what about re-vote
Frankly, I don't see that a recount alone will do the trick. We may pick up a few thousand votes here and there but as we all know the machines have swallowed up the Kerry votes and thrown them in Bush's lap.

What about totally rejecting the results of the election because of demonstrable massive fraud and demand a re-vote (but of course without those damn machines or we'll have the same mess again).

It may be worth checking out this article:

Here's a snippet:

There are some who will argue against a re-vote on legal grounds, saying that the US Constitution specifies the day for national elections. But I think when there is strong evidence of massive vote fraud, an arbitrary date becomes less important. You can be certain that if Ohio was won by a third party candidate under circumstances suggesting obvious fraud that both Democrats and Republicans would be crying out for a re-vote.
