Protesters pushing for vote recount

A day before each state's electors cast their votes for president, a group of Arizona Democrats urged federal election officials to slam on the brakes.

About 200 protesters from around Arizona gathered at the state Capitol on Sunday urging electors to delay the Electoral College vote until each state performs a hand recount of the popular vote.

State Rep. Ben Miranda, D-Phoenix, said he would push for legislation that would mandate printed records of individual votes. He also called for more accountability for poll workers who handle voting machines.

"We want to make sure that whoever touches that machine, it's documented," he told the crowd, which responded with cheers, applause and occasional tabla drumming.

2. Excellent! I note they call them "protestors,"

In another article posted earlier yesterday they were -- honest to God -- called "dissidents." WTF?????

7. Apparently not everyone's gotten the word, yet.

Calling Americans who disagree with getting railroaded "dissidents" is downright evil.

Don't know how to do anything about that AP writer, John McCarthy, but I really hope he gets some real backlash from somewhere.
