Reply #38: gulogulo, I am not sure to what extent the obstruction is by Dems.... [View All]

as I have seen no documentation of party affiliation of obstructionists by the recount volunteers.

However, this proves nothing about fraud. Look at NM--there is quite likely fraud there, and obstruction is colluded with by a Dem governor who demands $1.4M at the last minute for the recount to proceed.

Go figure. I understand in fact, per The Nation, that Blackwell was actually once "a good Democrat". Just the fact that Dems may or may not be involved in no way absolves the charge of fraud.

To further elucidate this point, the tone towards election fraud taken by some liberal left pundits such as Drum and David Corn is quite derisive and almost hysterical in its rush to deny it as a hypothesis. This suggests a hidden perspective of at least some Democrats that is very hostile to the hypothesis of fraud. Of course this does not mean that they committed fraud, but it could certainly explain why they might-- consciously or not--collude in its concealment.
