2. They have this letter from today about requesting Exit Poll data

Presidential Election 2004: Rep. Conyers' Letter Requesting Exit Poll Data
Posted by : DavidSwanson on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 10:20 PM

Rep. Conyers' Letter Requesting Exit Poll Data
From RawStory

The following letter, issued by Rep. John Conyers, Jr. (D-Mich), calls on the five major television networks and the Associated Press to release the raw exit poll data from the 2004 presidential election.

The letter below, acquired by RAW STORY late this afternoon, is a facsimile; the congressman's office said an actual image of the letter will not be released until Wednesday.

The letter was sent to: Anne Sweeney, Co-Chairman, Media Networks, The Walt Disney Company and President, Disney-ABC Television Group; Bob Wright, President, NBC; Gail Berman, President, FOX; Jim Walton President, CNN; Thomas Curley, President, Associated Press; and Andrew Heyward, President, CBS.

"As you are aware, the American citizenry has voiced a collective lack of faith in government to carry out fair election procedures," Conyers writes. "It is important that the Judiciary Committee access raw voter poll data so that discrepancies between those numbers and certified election results can be investigated...Without the raw data, the Committee will be severely handicapped in its efforts to show the need for serious election reform in the United States."

3. ouch... maybe he should have left the part about
"Without the raw data, the Committee will be severely handicapped in its efforts to show the need for serious election reform in the United States" out of the letter....
Or maybe we should suppose that MSM *wants* to severely handicap the effort of serious election reform in the US?

Anyway, they should all be dragged into court over this.

4. dKos diary on Conyers's letter refers to New York Times
Scroll down to third comment, "Slightly off-topic..." regarding future New York Times coverage of Ohio, according to NYT Office of the Public Editor (Daniel Okrent). ("Please stay tuned.")

Interesting...

5. not serious
I don't think the MSM or most Republicans take Conyers seriously. IMHO, it looks like he's being ignored. Unless he gets alot more support or finds some earth shattering news, I don't think we'll hear a whole lot about him in the press.
