Electoral count?

According to Keith Olberman, the only mainstream reporter who has consistently tracked the voting irregularities in Ohio, there may be as many as 6 Senate Democrats who join with the House Democrats to oppose the vote totals in Ohio. And I heard on Democracy Now that, as of last night, Barbara Boxer, Senator from California, was considering signing the objection. Only one Senator is needed, but it would really be a statement if 6 signed the objection.

It would be a clear vote of no-confidence in the Ohio, if not the US, electoral process and agaisnt GWB by congressional Democrats. Once the objection is made with at least one House and one Senate signatory, each of the houses (Senate and House of Representatives) must meet separately to discuss and vote on who should receive Ohio's electoral votes. All of the opposition will not mean a changing of the guard in the White House, barring any direct Divine Intervention, as the Republicans control both the House and the Senate. But the objection will stand on record and perhaps force the whole Congress to revisit the Help America Vote Act and put into place better standards to ensure the integrity of future votes.

I suggest that you tune into C-SPAN for live coverage of this event. I wish that I could, but I do not have a TV at work.
