1. I said "other"

because while I'd love for one of these people above to come up with it, I think it will come from somewhere least expected. Maybe even a disgruntled Bush administration official who finds out about it.

2. I think even if someone else announces it,it's almost certainly going to

have to come from a perpetrator at some level I think, the other solution of course is that a recount shows massively different numbers, that would go most of the way to proving fraud by itself, especially if it were replicated over several states.

7. Other: stong indications of irregularities or fraud in Ohio counties

Strong indications of major electronic glitches or fraud in Ohio in several counties

In analyzing the still-unofficial results, the totals reveal that C. Ellen Connally, an African-American Democratic candidate from Cleveland running for Ohio Chief Justice, received more than votes than Kerry in many counties. For example in Butler County, Connally received 5347 more votes than Kerry. The list of the counties where Connally actually outpolled Kerry include Auglaize, Brown, Butler, Clermont, Darke, Highland, Mercer, Miami, Putnam, Shelby, Van Wert, and Warren.

The reason the Kerry vote counts are suspect is because Connelly, a retired African-American judge, was vastly outspent in her race, and did not have the visibility of the presidential race. Thus for a more obscure Democratic candidate, farther down on the ticket, to get many more votes statewide than Kerry, suggests something happened to suggest there may have been a transfer of Kerry votes to Bush. ""Statistically, Kerry, as the Democratic presidential candidate, should have more votes than Connally. In a presidential election, most voters have the priority of casting a vote for president and the votes for president are almost always much higher than those of candidates farther down the ticket. As of election night, 5,481,804 votes were counted for Bush and Kerry. 4,327,270 votes were counted for Moyer and Connally.

""This looks like a computer glitch or a computer fix,"" said Bob Fitrakis, a lawyer, political scientist and Editor of the Columbus Free Press (http://freepres.org) who has written about election irregularities since Bush was declared the winner. Fitrakis is among the team of lawyers who announced they would soon file an election challenge in the state’s Supreme Court.

3. Kick (voting doesn't kick thread). n/t

4. It can only be an insider who participated or watched the. . .

. . .hacking and can provide the hard evidence or at least lead investigators to the evidence, the smoking gun.

5. This looks like the outline of a smoking gun to me.

or at least prime face evidence of criminal intent to differentially impact minorities.
