The Guardian: Voters to challenge US election - 12/1
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uselections2004/story/0,13918,1363399,00.html

Julian Borger in Washington
Wednesday December 1, 2004
The Guardian

-snip-
George Bush's victory in the US presidential election will be
challenged in Ohio's supreme court today, when a group of Democratic
voters will allege widespread fraud.

-snip-
"We'll be calling for a reversal of the result based on evidence
developed in the course of litigation," Mr Arnebeck told The
Guardian yesterday. "Exit polling and substantial irregularities
excluded votes that should have been counted. There is evidence that
votes cast for one candidate were moved to the column of the other
candidate."

2. Should we all email Mr. Borger with compliments?
Or is it better to email the editors? Never caught on with that.

6. Julian Borger is one of the best in journalism
This is a major break for us, for him to cover this.

The MSM won't be able to continue to ignore this story if guys like Borger are getting on the bandwagon.

11. Right on, mah man!!!
(or lady). I'm sending this Guardian article out (with a few links to the more egregious voting abuse stories, plus "Confessions of a Hacker") to editors of some of the major US newspapers. If our humble entreaties to the US media to investigate vote fraud is not enough to spur those lazy and/or biased doofuses into action, maybe they can be SHAMED into it.
