  What Do You Know???

  Wow. Farhad Mangoo has spoken. I've been on vacation so I must've missed Salon.com's searching, sweeping investigation. Their call for voters with actual experience of tampering at the polls, I missed that too. In fact, they did such a stunning, effective, unbiased, fantastic job at journalism, where they diligently attempted to dig out the truth - that their now irrevocable, irrefutable conclusion that the votes of 2000, and 2004 were NOT stolen, I have to accept...YOU ARE SO WRONG.

  You know, this is infuriating, and perplexing.Pathetic and sad. It is also insulting to all voters. This is Salon.com. At least, you expect higher standards.

  Instead you have what appears to be a sloppy job, with no attempt made at investigation and its inevitable result. Did you expect a Nancy Drew "mysterious confession note" from the people who did this????

  Here's a challenge. A simple one. Ask people about what went on at the polls. Ask people who had emails about uncounted ballots at polling stations while the vote was called for Bush. Ask people who went to vote and for one reason or another was turned away. Ask the whiz kid crackers who presented their conclusions on how easily the electronic machines could be tampered with. Ask those who had their counts suppressed while Katherine Harris did her little song and dance, and the counts were interrupted again and again. Put out the call now. Ask.

  And THEN wow us with your conclusions.
